Thermoluminescent Dosimeter Market - By Type (Calcium fluoride TLD and Lithium fluoride TLD), By Vertical (Nuclear, Research institutions, Medical, Safety & Security Industries, and Mining), By Dosimetry Service (Whole-body X-ray Badges, Extremity Dosimetry, Environmental/Area Dosimetry, and Others): - Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020 – 2030

A radiation dosimeter is a device that measures dose uptake of external ionizing radiation. A thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) is a type of radiation dosimeter, used for personal dose monitoring which require processing after use to reveal the cumulative dose received. It consists of a piece of a thermoluminescent crystalline material inside a radiolucent package which when exposed to ionizing radiation, absorbs and traps some of the energy of the radiation in its crystal lattice. When heated, the crystal releases the trapped energy in the form of visible light and the intensity of light is measured by a specialized detector which calculates the dose of ionizing radiation to the crystal exposed. These are used to measure the dosage of harmful radiations on the wearers who have been exposed to it. TLDs are convenient because of their small volume, availability and no associated voltage. The Thermoluminescent Dosimeter Market size was held USD 555.6 billion in 2020, and is estimated to reach USD 2670.8 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 17.0% from 2020-2030

Market Dynamics and Factors:

Globally increasing cancer patients, upsurge in number of nuclear power plants to meet energy demands and increasing usage of radioactive materials across various areas are driving factors responsible for the growth of thermoluminescent dosimeter market. According to World Health Organisation (WHO), cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, and is responsible for an estimated 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths in 2018 resulting to increase in the demand for dosimeter application for cancer treatments in the medical industry. Furthermore, rapid growth in the usage of radioactive materials across the globe, such as power production, medical research and defense sector has created the awareness for reliable equipment that offering protection from radioactive radiation is further booming the thermoluminescent dosimeter market. Nuclear technologies also have medical applications that will help to combat global pandemic of COVID-19. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is providing diagnostic kits, equipment and training in nuclear-derived detection techniques to various countries expecting the assistance in tackling the worldwide spread of the novel coronavirus. This will propel the thermoluminescent dosimeter market in coming years. However, availability of potent alternatives like Modern electronic personal dosimeters could hamper the thermoluminescent dosimeter market growth in the forecast period.
