Global Scintillator Market: Overview

A scintillator is a material that emits light (or scintillates) when it absorbs ionizing radiation. These materials are used in radiation detection and measurement devices. Scintillators can be made of organic or inorganic substances and are typically incorporated into detectors for applications in medical imaging, security scanning, nuclear physics, and high-energy physics experiments. When ionizing radiation strikes a scintillator, the material absorbs the energy and re-emits it as visible or ultraviolet light. This light is then detected by a photomultiplier tube or a photodiode, which converts it into an electrical signal for analysis.

Scintillation is a property that is exhibited by scintillator when excited by the ionizing radiation. Scintillation is the property of luminescence that is nothing but the generation of light from a substance which is not resulted by heat. When the luminescent materials are struck by a particle that is incoming it absorbs its energy and scintillates. In some cases, the excited state is metastable hence conversion from the excited state to lower states takes time. The time utilized may range from few nanoseconds to hours that depends on the material. After the process is completed either of the two phenomena occurs delayed fluorescence or phosphorescence that depends on the type of transition.

Global Scintillator Market: Growth Factors

The global scintillator market is experiencing a significant growth owing to a lot of investments made in the research and development and also the funding provided by the government for the scintillator discoveries. The wide range of applications of the scintillator in areas such as nuclear power plants, manufacturing industries, healthcare and homeland security & defense are driving the scintillator market. Other factors that are acting favorable for the market growth include the new applications of the radiology in the medical sector and the huge investments that are made for the radiation monitoring in the homeland security. The market growth is also attributed to factors such as the increased performance of the products in the low cost and the increasing need of the radiation detection instruments. The increasing number of power plants is also fuelling the market growth. The rise in demand for the renewable energy sources such as the wind, solar and the geothermal energy may hamper the market growth as they act as a substitute to the nuclear energy.
