New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 12/11/2014 --The increasing levels of radiation are leading to harmful effect on human health globally. According to United States Environment Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) radioactive materials produce ionizing radiation on decaying which can damage the living tissues in the human body. The human body tries to repair the damage but sometimes in cases of high severity it fails to repair them which lead to disease such as cancer. The most common forms of ionizing radiation are alpha, beta and gamma.

The threat of nuclear disasters are compelling governments and companies prone to the threat of radiation to empower their radiation detection and monitoring infrastructure. The Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 is one of the examples of nuclear disaster which resulted in meltdown of three nuclear reactors of the plant leading to release of substantial amounts of radioactive materials.
The radiation detection, monitoring and safety equipment minimizes the effects of the harmful radiations. The radiation detection, monitoring and safety equipment market includes radiation protection equipments and instruments. Based on application, radiation detection, monitoring and safety equipment market can be segmented into six major categories including nuclear power plants, defense and homeland security, occupational safety, oil and resource exploration and manufacturing. Nuclear power plants also use radiation safety accessories including full body radiation protection, safe safety accessories, hand safety accessories and others.
Based on composition, the radiation detection, monitoring and safety equipment market can be segmented into gas filled detectors, scintillators and semiconductor based detectors. There are three types of gas filled detectors namely Geiger Mueller counters, proportional counters and ionization counters. Scintillators can be segmented into two categories namely inorganic scintillators and organic scintillators. Based on product segment, the radiation detection, monitoring and safety equipment market can be segmented into five categories namely personal dosimeters, area process monitors, environment radiation monitors, surface contamination monitors and radioactive material monitors. Gas filled detectors and personal dosimeters dominate the global sales among categories. Scintillators dominate the gas filled detectors market for defense and homeland security due to their ability to detect micro levels of radiation. Personal dosimeters include passive dosimeters and active dosimeters.
The increase in nuclear energy industries has been propelling the growth of nuclear power plants globally. The use of radioactive compounds in several consumer products is another source of radiation. Increasing nuclear threat in the developed countries, and growing concern of governments on internal security are propelling the growth of radiation detection, monitoring and safety equipment market for defense and homeland security. Increasing use of radiation therapy and nuclear medicine in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases is also one of the important market drivers. Medical detectors include CT X-ray detectors, PET and SPECT detectors.
Among regions, North America dominated global sales of radiation detection, monitoring and safety equipment market in 2013 followed by Europe. North America is expected to retain its dominance during the forecasted period due to its technological advancements, government support to the radiation detection, monitoring and safety equipment market.
The major players in radiation detection, monitoring and safety equipment market include Canberra Industries Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Landauer Inc., Mirion Technologies Inc., Bar Ray Products Inc., Biodex Medical Systems Inc., Protech Radiation Safety, ProtecX and Amtek Inc. Most of the major players in global radiation detection, monitoring and safety equipment market are U.S. based.
