The global radiation shielding windows market size was USD 23470 million in 2022. As per our research, the market is expected to reach USD 31100 million in 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the radiation shielding windows 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.

Radiation shielding windows are specialized windows designed to protect various forms of radiation. These windows are commonly used in settings where radiation exposure needs to be minimized, such as in medical facilities, research laboratories, nuclear power plants, and industrial applications. The primary purpose of radiation shielding windows is to allow observation and monitoring of processes or environments involving radiation while ensuring the safety of personnel and the surrounding environment.

These shielding windows are engineered to maintain optical clarity while providing the necessary protection. They come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different radiation exposure scenarios. The choice of materials and design depends on the specific type of radiation being shielded, the level of protection required, and the intended application.

COVID-19 Impact: Closure of Nuclear Power Plants & Research Work Obstructed the Market

The COVID-19 pandemic led to disruptions in global supply chains due to lockdowns, restrictions, and reduced production capacities. Also, many construction projects, including those in healthcare facilities, research labs, and nuclear power plants, were delayed or put on hold due to this health emergency. Consequently, this led to postponed purchases of radiation shielding windows. However, the rising advanced healthcare infrastructure around the world is projected to fuel the demand for these radiation shielding windows.
