The anticipated increase in the prevalence of cancers is expected to drive the growth of the medical radiation detection, monitoring, and safety market in the future. Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cell multiplication and spread to other parts of the body. As cancer patients undergo radiation therapy and nuclear medicine, exposing them to potentially harmful radioactive particles, the utilization of medical radiation detection, monitoring, and safety equipment becomes crucial to protect patients from harmful radiation effects. These technologies also serve the purpose of detecting and monitoring radiation levels. For example, the American Cancer Society Inc. estimates that there will be 1,958,310 new cancer cases diagnosed in the US in 2023, showing an increase compared to the more than 1,918,030 new cases reported in 2022. Consequently, the high prevalence of cancers is a key driver fueling the expansion of the medical radiation detection, monitoring, and safety market.

The growth of the medical radiation detection, monitoring, and safety market is also expected to be propelled by the increasing number of radiotherapy centers. These specialized medical facilities focus on cancer treatment through the application of ionizing radiation, such as X-rays or gamma rays, with the goal of targeting and eliminating cancer cells while minimizing harm to healthy tissue. The use of medical radiation detection, monitoring, and safety equipment is essential to ensure the precise delivery of radiation dosages, safeguarding both medical staff and patients from unnecessary exposure and upholding the highest safety standards during cancer treatment. According to data from August 2022, there were 3,318 brachytherapy cancer centers worldwide, with the United States leading the count at 772 machines. This signifies the highest number of brachytherapy centers by country and highlights the growing importance of radiotherapy centers in driving the medical radiation detection, monitoring, and safety market.

Major companies in the medical radiation detection, monitoring, and safety market are focusing on the development of technologically advanced products, including real-time radiation monitoring devices that enable immediate detection of radiation exposure. These devices are designed to continuously measure and display radiation levels in an environment, offering instant feedback to identify potential exposure to harmful ionizing radiation. For example, in June 2024, Thermo Fisher Scientific, a biotechnology company based in the US, introduced the NetDose Pro digital dosimeter. This compact device is intended for monitoring radiation exposure among personnel in various industries, such as healthcare, assisting companies in adhering to strict regulatory standards. It continuously measures radiation levels and securely transmits data to a personal mobile app or web-based interface, ensuring the protection of both personal and customer information. Utilizing Bluetooth 5 wireless technology, the dosimeter connects to a gateway data router or the NetDose mobile app, enabling users to track radiation levels in real-time, generate reports, assign devices to wearers, and manage the entire dosimetry system effectively.

Companies operating in the medical radiation detection, monitoring, and safety market are also adopting the trend of introducing apps for radiation protection to gain a competitive edge. These apps provide tools like dose tracking, safety guidelines, and real-time monitoring to ensure user safety in environments prone to radiation. For instance, Polimaster Inc., a provider of radiation control solutions, recently released the Polismart iOS app for iPhones and iPads in March 2023. This application is designed to enhance the operation of Polimaster products, including radiation control devices like detectors and dosimeters, offering users improved accessibility to device history, settings modification, and the full utilization of device capabilities.

In December 2023, Radiation Detection Company (RDC), a US-based provider of radiation monitoring services, teamed up with Thermo Fisher Scientific to offer the NetDose to customers in North America. This partnership enables Thermo Fisher Scientific to provide the NVLAP-accredited NetDose digital dosimeter (NVLAP Lab Code 600295-0) to clients throughout North America. The collaboration focuses on the healthcare, dental, and veterinary sectors, enhancing radiation safety and monitoring capabilities. Thermo Fisher Scientific is a US-based manufacturer of digital dosimeters.
