AUTORADIOGRAPHY FILMS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global autoradiography films market size was USD 0.11 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 0.14 billion by 2033, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8% during the forecast period.

The decay emission pattern (such as gamma rays or beta particles) from a radioactive substance distribution results in an autoradiograph, which is a nuclear emulsion or X-ray film image. With the recent advancement of gas detector scintillation, the autoradiography film is additionally present as a digital image. To create the autoradiograph, the emulsion or film adheres to the designated tissue segment (also known as autoradiogram), in contrast to microradiography or historiography which marks the sample using an external source.

It signifies the radioactive chemical is present in the film. Micro-autoradiography examines some autoradiographs under a microscope to detect the presence of silver grains in specific locations, such as the exterior or interiors of organelles or cells. Micro-autoradiography, for instance, was used to determine whether the hornwort plant or epiphytic microorganisms in the biofilm layer surrounding the plant were the ones metabolizing atrazine.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Rise in Health Awareness Backed Market Growth 

Growing health issues and the global prevalence of COVID-19 patients contributed to the expansion of the market. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the optimal use of medical devices became a top priority worldwide. The population was more aware of colds, coughs, and other health issues, which fostered the autoradiography films market growth. As a result, the need for autoradiography films increased in various nursing homes, hospitals, and other facilities. The pandemic increased health awareness among the population, which led the population to visit the doctor even for minor health issues. 

LATEST TRENDS

High Resolution and Sensitivity of Product to Surge Market Growth

Autoradiography films are highly sensitive, which turns out as an advantage for the growth of the market. It is used in biology to determine the localization of cells. It also determines the distribution of receptors and is termed in vitro or vivo receptor autoradiography, if the ligand is administered to the circulation of applied tissue sections. The receptor's density is called vitro autoradiography and can also be determined with the help of affinity and anatomical distribution. These factors are anticipated to surge autoradiography films market growth.
