GAMMA RADIOACTIVE SOURCES MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global gamma radioactive sources market size was USD 0.41 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 0.65 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

Materials or compounds that generate gamma radiation are referred to as gamma radioactive sources. High-energy photons make up gamma radiation, a form of ionising electromagnetic radiation. Being the most potent type of radiation, it has the ability to deeply penetrate many different materials, including human tissues. Nuclear power, industry, science, and many other areas employ gamma radioactive sources extensively. To establish stability, a heavy nucleus must split into smaller nuclei, a process known as radioactivity. A.H. Becquerel made the initial discovery of this procedure entirely by chance. Studies done later revealed that radioactivity is a nuclear phenomenon that results from nuclei decaying.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Lockdown to Halt the Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the gamma radioactive sources market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative influence on the world economy on many levels, which is also evident in the healthcare sector. Due to the closure of production facilities, severe shortage in raw material supply, and lack of qualified labour, the booming market for health care research and development is predicted to have a sharp fall in sales during the lockdown period. The pandemic's present effects can be inferred from the supply chain and production operations encountering some modest difficulties. After COVID-19, the market is anticipated to gradually recover, which will offer appealing chances for sales in numerous parts of the world in the years to come.

The part medical is the leading of the application segment.

DRIVING FACTORS

Innovation in Advanced Medical Applications to Advance the Market Share

In chemotherapy, gamma radioactive sources are used. Gamma rays are also used to sterilise medical equipment as well as treat cancer and tumours. Earlier, the morphological structure of interior organs could be observed using an x-ray or gamma-ray. A radioactive isotope of technetium is technetium-99m. In nuclear medicine imaging procedures like single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), it emits gamma radiation and is frequently employed. Other isotopes are utilised in a variety of processes, including sterilisation of medical equipment, industrial radiography, and scientific investigation.

Several Space and Industrial Applications to Drive the Market Growth

Particle accelerators use gamma rays as an external beam. Astronomers find many galaxies and stars by using gamma waves from space. For research and development objectives, gamma rays are employed in the nuclear industry. In order to examine welds and find faults in metal constructions, cobalt 60 is also utilised in industrial radiography. For measuring soil moisture content and density gauges in building materials, cs-137 is also utilised in industrial applications. Iridium-192 is a radioactive isotope of iridium that is frequently employed in industrial radiography to examine welds, pipelines, and other structures.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Serious Damage to Human Body with Handling and Safety Protocols to Restrain the Market Growth

The frequency of gamma rays is extremely high and comparable to that of X-rays. Gamma rays are extremely invasive and can harm cells at the cellular level as well as cause major illnesses in people. It’s critical to keep in mind that handling and working with gamma radioactive sources calls for appropriate training, shielding, and attention to safety regulations in order to reduce radiation exposure and guarantee the safety of workers and the environment. Over the projected period, the above mentioned reasons are anticipated to constrain the gamma radioactive sources market growth.
