Over the 2022–2030 analysis period, the medical radiation shielding market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% from its estimated US$1.3 billion in 2022 to US$1.9 billion by 2030.

Rising demand for nuclear medicine and radiation therapy on account of increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is likely to fuel the demand for radiation shielding products. Owing to the rising occurrence of cancer and the increasing demand for nuclear radiation therapy for accurate diagnosis, the medical radiation shielding market is expected to expand at a significant pace in the coming years. In parallel, the expansion of the medical radiation protection market is anticipated to be driven by a growing number of radiology centers and the deployment base of medical imaging equipment. The increasing potential growth in developing economies, on the other hand, has opened up a number of opportunities in the forecast period for the medical radiation shielding industry.

It is predicted that the growing prevalence of the diseases mentioned above will play an important role in market development. Furthermore, the rising demand for fast and efficient diagnostic procedures is likely to increase the demand for imaging equipment, which is likely to benefit the shielding market in turn. These MRI machines are being built by various nations. For eg, according to the OECD, the number of MRI systems installed in the United States in 2017 was over 37.0 per million population.

For any clinical MRI system and most research systems, RF shielding is needed. Efficiency, however, can differ depending on the particular MRI device. Although most MRI companies need 100 dB of sensory frequency RF attenuation, the requirements for any given manufacturer and also for higher-frequency testing parameters can vary. Virtually any form of metal can be made of RF shielding; but the most prominent forms used for MRI are, however, there is zinc, galvanized steel and aluminum shielding. Due to disadvantages such as price, ease of handling or adjustments, and corrosion, other metals are not usually used.

The aim of the report is to estimate the size of the market for medical radiation shielding and the future growth potential of the market for medical radiation shielding across various segments, such as patient position and component. The base year considered for the analysis is 2019 and from forecast is provided from 2020-2028.

In 2019, the MRI shielding products held noticeable market share compared to other counterparts. Lucrative development from emerging economies on account of continuous healthcare infrastructure development is predicted to favor the segment growth in coming years.

The highest market share in 2019 was accounted for by North America.  This was owing to the growing demand for imaging research for the occurrence of chronic diseases in this region, including breast cancer, cardiovascular disorders and neurological diseases. Throughout the forecast era, the region is expected to retain its supremacy. During the forecast era, technological advances coupled with the rising incidence of chronic conditions are expected to spur market growth.

Key vendors in the market include A&L Shielding, Ray-Bar Engineering Corp, Veritas Medical Solutions LLC, Radiation Protection Products Inc., Gaven Industries, Inc, Global Partners in Shielding Inc, Amray Medical, and many more.
