Market Overview:
The global plastic scintillator market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for plastic scintillators from various end-use industries, such as medical, nuclear power, and research & development (R&D). In addition, the growing awareness about radiation safety and security is also propelling the growth of the global plastic scintillator market. Based on type, thin sheets are expected to account for a major share of the global plastic scintillator market in 2018. This can be attributed to their low cost and easy installation. Based on application, detection of protons is projected to be a key segment during the forecast period owing to its growing demand from medical applications.
Product Definition:
A plastic scintillator is a material used to detect and measure ionizing radiation. It contains small amounts of a luminescent compound that emits light when struck by radiation. This light is detected by a photomultiplier tube, which converts it into an electrical signal that can be processed and analyzed. The amount of light emitted is proportional to the amount of radiation present.
Thin Sheets:
Thin sheets are made from plastic and have a thickness of around 1/16th of an inch. They are used in applications where high-performance is required, such as radiation detection equipment, Geiger counters, and scintillation crystals. Plastic thin sheets have numerous industrial uses including food packaging films & labels; textile fibers; automotive parts & components; consumer goods packaging materials (TPM); adhesive tapes & labels; printing ink substrates for documents and packages among others.
Rods:
Rods are used in plastic scintillator market as they provide high-quality and cost-effective solutions for detectors, sensors, and radiation monitoring. They are available in different forms such as hollow or solid rods. The most commonly used type of rod is the hollow one which can be customized based on user requirements.
Application Insights:
The detection of protons application segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2016 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growing demand for plastic scintillators as a component in particle detectors is expected to be a major factor driving the market growth. Plastic scintillators are used as an essential component of many particle detectors, which include proportional counters, ionization chambers, and colliders.
Plastic scintillators are also used in several other applications such as radiation protection equipment (rods), Geiger-Muller counter tubes (large rectangular blocks), beta/gamma ray detection equipment (electron multiplier tubes & semiconductor devices), medical imaging equipment (photonuclear coincidence chamber) among others. Growing demand from various end-use industries coupled with increasing R&D activities pertaining to new application areas is anticipated to fuel industry expansion over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for advanced medical equipment in countries, such as China and India. In addition, rising nuclear power generation activities in these countries are likely to drive the regional market further.
North America held a significant share of about 27% in 2016 owing to high demand from industrial applications mainly due to growing concerns regarding radiation safety and security across various sectors including healthcare industry which has led to an increase in investments by domestic as well as foreign players for improving their business operations through acquisition of new technologies along with innovation of existing products is anticipated would have a positive impact on market growth over the next eight years.
Europe was valued at USD X million in 2016.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for radiation therapy in cancer treatment
- Rising incidence of cancer and other diseases requiring radiation therapy
- Growing popularity of PET imaging
- Proliferation of nuclear power plants and increase in number of radiotherapy procedures performed at these facilities
- Technological advancements that have led to the development of more sensitive and efficient plastic scintillators
