The Global Gamma Rays Collimators Market size is expected to grow from an estimated USD 2.46 billion in 2018 to USD 3.14 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period (2021-2028). The growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for collimators due to their usage in various applications such as electronics, industrial use, aerospace and others. North America is anticipated to hold the largest share of the market by 2028 owing to its high adoption rate for gamma-ray collimation technology and presence of major players like General Electric Company (GE) and Honeywell International Incorporated (Honeywell).
Gamma Rays Collimators are devices that ensure the protection of workers from high-energy radiation. They use lead and other heavy metals to create an electromagnetic field, which deflects gamma and x-rays in a specific direction while allowing low-energy beams to pass through. This process is known as `collimation`. Gamma-ray collimators come with different levels of shielding capability depending on their exposure rate; this may be expressed by a number or length rating such as ANSI classification CXE+. Different types of applications require different quantities and thicknesses for these materials to protect against harmful radiation emitted by powerful sources within certain distances.
On the basis of Type, the market is segmented into Panoramic Collimators and Directional Collimators.
Panoramic collimators are used in the treatment of cancer. They can be inserted inside a patient’s body to direct radiation beams into tumor cells or may form part of an external beam therapy machine. The exact shape and size of each device depending on the type of cancer being treated, as well as its location within the body. For example, if a person has stomach cancer that is located near their spine, then they would need a custom-shaped panorama collimator for proper coverage when lying down.
Directional collimators are designed to produce only a narrow beam of gamma rays. This is used for shielding and other purposes, such as in nuclear power plants or hospitals where it can be placed around the patient's bed's head at an angle from the entry point so that they don't scatter radiation into the room. It also has applications with particle accelerator experiments requiring precise control of incident energy levels on samples.
Directional Collimators are commonly used in cases where the location of a tumor is not known. They usually have to be inserted into the body, but they do not need to go as deep because their shape allows them to cover a wide area. This type of device could also potentially spare patients from undergoing unnecessary surgeries and other invasive treatments that would otherwise only reveal whether or not there was cancer present.
On the basis of Application, the market is segmented into Electronics (such as medical devices), Industrial Use (nuclear power plants or facilities that work with radioactive material), Aerospace (planes and spacecraft), Utility (such as gas stations/plants where they deal with radioactive materials), and Others.
The use of gamma rays collimators in electronics is expected to be the most important application segment, accounting for a share of 39.0% by 2028. The electronics manufacturing process generates high-energy radiation which needs to be shielded off from sensitive electronic devices and components with a protective barrier that reduces both direct and scattered ionizing radiation levels below some predetermined limits.
The main advantages offered by these types of shielding solutions are their ability to reduce exposure rates without interfering with transmission signals or disturbing electric fields. In this regard, one can note that three major criteria need to be met: (i) sufficient attenuation values; (ii) low absorption rate on materials used; and (iii) excellent transparency level at all frequency ranges.
Gamma Rays Collimators are used in industries such as the electronics industry to inspect for flaws and defects. They also find use in industrial tools, aerospace applications, utility companies, and utilities that rely on them to monitor conditions of gas pipelines or electric power lines. Furthermore, gamma rays collimators are used by various other sectors like nuclear research laboratories, military installations, and even some medical centers that specialize in radiation therapy.
The use of gamma rays collimators in aerospace has seen a sharp rise due to its ability to block radiation and offer better visibility. It is also highly effective at minimizing the risk of damage caused by solar flares, as well as limit possible health hazards for those working onboard an aircraft such as flight crews or passengers. This technology is widely used aboard airplanes and spacecraft around the world, including NASA's International Space Station (ISS). The ISS was one of the first government agencies that began using this technology back in 2001 after it received a set from Russia’s Mir space station.
The use of gamma rays collimators is not limited to a single industry or region. It can be used in different applications, across diverse geographical regions and accounting for the global economic situation. The rapid growth rate of this market has been attributed to rising awareness about its benefits among end-users and increasing demand from developing countries where their usage is still low due to the lack of sophisticated equipment required for installation. However, with advanced technology and an increase in research activities by government-funded organizations around the world, it will soon become more affordable as well as widely available worldwide too.
On the basis of Region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The North American market is the largest and fastest-growing in the world, while Europe was the second-largest region.
The Middle East & Africa (MEA) followed closely behind the Asia Pacific as it exhibited high economic growth rates during 2010–2020. In Latin America, Brazil accounted for more than 50% share of total revenue generated by industry participants in 2018 and this trend has been projected to continue till 2028 given its robust economic position and its expanding electronics sector.
