Inorganic Scintillators Market to Observe Strong Development by 2020
Inorganic
scintillators are crystals exhibiting luminescence when exposed to
higher level of radiation. They are manufactured using oxides and
alkali halides at high temperatures. Inorganic scintillators are
primarily employed for the detection since they are highly stable in
the presence of intense ionizing radiations. Based on end use, the
global inorganic scintillators market can be segmented into defense,
homeland security, nuclear power plants, and other segments of high
energy physics applications.

Global
Inorganic Scintillators Market: Trends and Opportunities
The
global inorganic scintillators market can be segmented into sodium
iodine, cesium iodine, gadolinium oxysulfide, and other niche
categories. The increasing number of high energy physics applications
is encouraging research and development activities in the market.
This surge in R&D activities has resulted in a rise in the number
of product segments in the global inorganic scintillators market. For
instance, lead tungstate and bismuth germinate are among a few niche
product segments.
Inorganic
scintillators help in detection of even a small amount of radiation
and ensures high stability when exposed to high radiations. It is
also possible to customize inorganic scintillators and control their
production. These features, coupled with high efficiency they
provide, are the key factors supporting the growth of the global
inorganic scintillators market. In addition, the application scope
for inorganic scintillators is projected to increase in response to
the high investment in research and development activities.
Furthermore,
the increasing budget allocation in defense and homeland security
across major countries will create lucrative opportunities for the
global inorganic scintillators market. On the downside, the
increasing demand for energy derived from renewable sources such as
wind, solar, and geothermal sources, which are popular substitutes of
nuclear energy will pose threat to the market.
Global
Inorganic Scintillators Market: Regional Outlook
Regionally,
North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World comprise
the key regional segments in the global inorganic scintillators
market. Among these regions, North America currently holds dominance
and is expected remain at the leading position through the forecast
period. Europe has emerged as second-largest market and together with
North America is at the fore of driving the demand for renewable
energy derived from sources such as solar. However, the growth
witnessed in these regions is slowing due down due to the increasing
incidence of cancer among workers in nucleic plants.
