What fueled the previous growth in the medical radiation shielding market?

In recent times, the market size for medical radiation shielding has witnessed substantial growth. It is forecasted to expand from $1.90 billion in 2024 to $2.31 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.4%. This significant growth during the historical period can be linked to the escalating occurrences of cancer and heart-related diseases, increased utilization of nuclear medicine and radiation therapy, a surge in chronic diseases, growing healthcare spending, and an increasing demand for less invasive procedures.

What will be the medical radiation shielding market size in the future?

The market for medical radiation shielding is predicted to witness significant expansion in the imminent years, reaching a substantial value of $4.96 billion by 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.1%. This surge during the projection period can be ascribed to escalating demand for diagnostic imaging, higher diagnostic imaging processes, inflating demand for health care facilities, heightened consciousness and safety measures, and an uptick in diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy processes. The primary patterns projected during this period entail technological enhancement in radiation therapy, breakthroughs in radiation defending chemicals, a burgeoning demand for eco-friendly treatments, and progress in nuclear medicine.

What main drivers are fueling expansion in the medical radiation shielding market?

The medical radiation shielding market is predicted to experience significant growth due to the heightened demand for radiation therapy. This treatment technique uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells by interfering with their DNA. The rising need for cancer diagnosis, technological advancements in treatment, and improved healthcare service accessibility are all contributing to the increasing demand for radiation therapy. During this treatment, medical radiation shielding is used to protect healthy tissues and people from unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation. As reported by the UK-based, peer-reviewed journal, The Lancet, in December 2024, approximately 20.0 million new cancer cases were diagnosed in 2022, and roughly 10.0 million patients needed radiotherapy at a utilization rate of 50%, and 12.8 million patients at a utilization rate of 64%. As a result, the growing requirement for radiotherapy is bolstering the growth of the medical radiation shielding market.
