Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Increasing number of imaging tests  

Radiation safety is a concern for patients, physicians, and staff in many departments, including radiology, interventional cardiology, and surgery. Radiation emitted during fluoroscopic procedures is responsible for the greatest radiation dose for medical staff. Radiation from diagnostic imaging modalities, such as computed tomography, mammography, and nuclear imaging, are contributors to the cumulative dose exposures of healthcare personnel. 

The increasing number of imaging is expected to drive the market growth. For instance, according to the report by NHS England, it is stated that there were 43.4 million imaging tests reported in England in the 12 months from February 2022 to January 2023. Of these, 3.41 million imaging tests were reported to have taken place in January 2023. 

Additionally, it is reported that at Yale Medicine Maternal-Fetal Medicine, the physicians and sonographers perform more than 16,000 ultrasounds a year. Thus, the above factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.  

The high cost of lead in manufacturing radiation protection accessories  

Lead is one of the important raw materials for manufacturing lead apparel. The increasing costs of lead could affect the market growth. It leads to the development of new raw materials to manufacture radiation protection apparel. Thus, it affects the market growth during the forecast period.

Market Segment Analysis

The global radiation protection apparel market is segmented based on product type, material, end-user and region.

The lead-free segment is expected to dominate the market share

Lead-free material accounted for the largest share of the market due to its lightweight and non-toxicity compared to lead-based apparel. Lead-free material is made of a blend of attenuating heavy metals other than lead (Pb). These metals are usually some combination of aluminum, antimony, barium, bismuth, tin, titanium, or tungsten. Lead isn’t the sole metal with the ability to protect a person from harmful radiation. 

Furthermore, the growing demand for technologically advanced lead-free products is anticipated to create robust growth for the global radiation protection apparel market players.

For instance, Burlington Medical launched the XENOLITE 800 NL (No-Lead) apron series. XENOLITE 800 NL is a lead-free, super-lightweight, flexible, and recyclable x-ray radiation protection apron. 

Additionally, in December 2023, an assistant professor in Madurai was granted a patent for developing unique lightweight aprons that are lead-free and radiation-protective. Thus, the above factors are expected to hold the segment in the dominant position.

Market Geographical Share

North America is expected to hold a significant position in the radiation protection apparel market share

North America is expected to dominate the overall radiation protection apparel market due to favorable government initiatives, an increasing number of nuclear power plants, rising prevalence of cancer, and increasing awareness of radiation safety. Nuclear medicine and radiation therapy are increasingly being used to diagnose and treat illnesses, in addition to a rise in cancer treatments throughout North America.

The increasing workforce in radiology areas is also expected to increase the use of radiation protection apparel in the region. For instance, the workforce of Magnetic resonance imaging technologists in the U.S. in 2022 was about 48,772 people, with 56.6% women, and 43.4% men. 

Additionally, according to the U.S. Bureau Of Labor Statistics report in 2024,  it is stated that overall employment of radiologic and MRI technologists is projected to grow 6 percent from 2022 to 2032, faster than the average for all occupations. Thus, the increasing number of technicians also drives the market growth in the region. These factors are expected to hold the region in the dominant position during the forecast period.
