Just the name of the gruesome disease named
“Cancer” is enough to send chills down the spine. Therefore, it has become
imperative to develop and leverage technology to fight and someday find a cure
for this disease, which affects 14 million new lives every year and was the
single despicable reason for 9.8 million deaths in 2018, according to World Health
Organization.
According to WHO, Cancer’s major causes are
tobacco addiction, diet, infections along with exposure to harmful radiation.
Apart from radiation, other major causes can be avoided with strict change in
behavior and routine. Radiation is believed to affect large number of lives of
people exposed to higher concentration. However, as it is said, “Prevention is
better than Cure”- it becomes highly important that safety against the
cancerous particles and radiations among other things is observed and
maintained.
Radiation affects mainly those people who are
highly exposed to it, such as, hospital workers, nuclear facilities engineers,
and workers associated with industrial facilities housing radioactive materials
among others. Unmonitored exposure of penetrative ionizing rays such as gamma
rays can alter the human genetic makeup thereby heightening the need for
radiation detection, monitoring & safety devices.
What are Radiation detection, monitoring & safety devices?
As the name implies, these devices are
specifically designed to detect radiation concentration & leakage, monitor
its usage and ensure safety of the handlers and workers in the facilities
storing and using radiations. Radiation detectors are high in demand as it
provides early measures to tackle the harmful radiation in the facilities. Gas
filled detectors used in Geiger-Muller counters, ionization chambers, radiation
survey meters, and proportional counters are proving to a be a boon for the
radiation handlers as they are portable, durable and economic to use.
In the monitoring segment, dosimeters are used
to monitor the amount of radiation required in nuclear power plants as well as
in hospitals and industries. Safety segment has full bodied aprons, barriers
and shields among other things to protect handlers from radiation.

Why so
Important?
There is a rise observed in the reasons to
take ample steps to boost safety against the radiations; and the reasons are:
- Incidents of nuclear power plant disasters
like Chernobyl and Fukushima continuously reminds us to
step up the safety parameters for not only those working in the nuclear
power plant facilities but also for those living in major numbers in the
cities around these facilities.
- Intermittent incidents of nuclear
weapon-mediated terrorist activities, constantly threatening
the global population have accentuated the need for protective and
reliable equipment. Along with this, Homeland security has delineated the
risks arising out of these terrorist activities and are providing a major
boost to the market.
- Radiation plays an important role in detecting
plants life, health and age. Therefore, it is also being effectively used
in environment monitoring and ecological administration. It becomes highly
important to monitor usage of radiation in this field, to avoid harmful
effects to larger ecosystem.
- Radiation therapy, PET and CT scans are common
in medical diagnosis and treatment. This makes the installation of
radiation detection and safety devices imperative in hospitals to maintain
the optimum safety levels.
- Several industry related applications of
radiations have also generated the need to install these safety parameters
and maintain the right safety levels.

Market
Insights: -
Several market players are playing ball in
this arena. Several key major players are Thermo Fischer Scientific (US),
Mirion Technologies (US), and LANDAUER (US). Apart from these, some notable
players in the market are Fuji Electric (Japan), Ludlum Measurement (US),
Arktis Radiation Detection (Switzerland), Radiation Detection Company (US),
AMETEK (US), Ultra Electronics (UK), Arrow-Tec (US), and Polimaster (Austria).
These companies are leveraging the strategy of
making alliances to boost their growth. For example, in March 2016, Mirion
Technologies, Inc., partnered with Canadian power plant to upgrade their
Perimeter Monitoring Equipment and in January 2016, Thermo Fisher Scientific,
Inc., launched the New Environmental Chambers that aims to increase the
stability of environmental conditions that are conducive for testing purposes.
The company, additionally, expanded its territory to include the following
regions: Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Africa.
Result of this intense competition and diverse
tactics employed by the key players, Radiation Detection, Monitoring & Safety Market is
anticipated to grow by over 7.3% CAGR in the coming years. While security risks
are going to boost the growth of the market, shift towards the renewable
sources from nuclear source is going to be an inhibiting factor for the market.
