SILICON DRIFT DETECTOR SYSTEM MARKET OVERVIEW

The global silicon drift detector system market size was forecasted to be worth USD 0.05 billion in 2024, expected to achieve USD 0.07 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period.

The increased demand for silicon drift detectors, which outperform lithium drifted silicon Si(Li) detectors in terms of performance, count rate, energy resolution, and Peltier cooling, is what is causing the market to rise. Additionally, these detectors exhibit significantly less electronic noise when exposed to low X-ray energy, bigger detection areas, and brief peaking periods. As a result, silicon drift detectors (SDD) are becoming more popular with consumers instead of lithium drifted silicon (Si(Li)) detectors. Due to rising silicon utilization in scanning electron microscopes with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), the electron microscopy industry is anticipated to grow favorably. It is frequently employed to characterize the microstructure of various materials.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the global silicon drift detector system market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 outbreak caused temporary business closures as well as supply chain and manufacturing disruptions, which in turn reduced the development of telecom infrastructure and had a negative effect on the sales and marketing efforts of rugged phone companies competing in the market. The effects were severe, particularly for startups and small- to medium-sized businesses operating in this industry. Companies did, however, make a lot of restructuring efforts to address the supply chain difficulties and improve collaboration with suppliers and partners to lessen the negative market impact.

LATEST TRENDS

Growth of the market in recent years

Concentric rings and droplet rings are two categories that make up the segmentation of the global silicon drift detectors market. In 2019, the concentric rings market sector holds a substantial market share. Concentric ring-based silicon drift detectors offer good resolution across broad areas. These detectors are made of a totally depleted volume of silicon that is extremely resistive, from which X-ray-generated electrons are emitted in the direction of a tiny collection anode. These detectors do away with the need for a cryostat that uses liquid nitrogen. High counting rates and quick scanning are employed with silicon drift detectors based on concentric rings for element mapping. These detectors offer effective geometrical data collecting.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Several Challenges Associated with the Local Irritation to Restrain the Market

Although Silicon Drift Detectors have higher performance in terms of energy resolution and detection effectiveness, they can be technically challenging to develop and operate. For installation, operation, and maintenance, this complexity may call for specialized knowledge. The requirement for knowledgeable staff or training may make widespread adoption difficult. Due to their complexity and sophistication, silicon drift detectors require specialized production techniques. They can therefore be more expensive than other kinds of detectors. SDD adoption may be constrained by their high price, particularly in markets or applications where price is an important factor. This may be a problem in situations where there is a need for portable or compact systems or if space is at a premium. SDD integration may be constrained by their physical dimensions in some machinery or equipment.
