Global Radiation Protection Curtain Market Size, Share & Trends Report, by Type (X-Ray Radiation Protective Curtain, Lead Protective Curtain, and Others), and by Application (Hospitals, Clinics, and Others) Forecast (2022-2028)

The global radiation protection curtain market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028). The rise in the incidence of cancers such as lung cancers, breast cancers, and others that require radiotherapy treatment is one of the factors driving the growth of the market. According to the data published by the American Cancer Society (ACS) in 2022, approximately 13.0% of all lung cancers are SCLC and, 84.0% are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Moreover, lung cancer is the leading cause of mortality in both men and women accounting for 25.0% of all cancer mortalities. Further, lung cancer is most prevalent in the geriatric population. As per the ACS in 2022, approximately 236,740 new lung cancer cases have been identified out of which 117,910 are in men and 118,830 are identified in women. Also, 130,180 mortalities occurred due to lung cancer. Moreover, radiotherapy is administered to more than half of all cancer patients. Thus, the rising incidence of cancer is anticipated to fuel the demand for the global radiation protection curtain market.

The increase in the usage of nuclear medicines and the number of diagnostics examinations are anticipated to drive the growth of the market. According to the data published by National Center for Biotechnology Information in 2020, the population radiation dose contribution from all artificial sources for medical uses accounted for 98.0%. Annually more than 3,600 million diagnostic radiology examinations are performed, 37 million nuclear medicine procedures are carried out and 7.5 million radiotherapy treatments are performed globally. In addition, CT contributes to 24.0% of all radiation exposure and uses half of the manmade radiation. Therefore, such radiation exposures are anticipated to fuel the demand for the radiation protection curtain market.

Increasing awareness among consumers regarding the harmful effects of radiation on human health is anticipated to drive the growth of the market. According to the data published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), exposure to high levels of radiation can cause acute health effects such as skin burns and acute radiation syndrome. Thus, the EPA has set regulatory limits and recommends emergency response guidelines below 100 millisieverts to protect sensitive groups such as children from accumulated radiation. Thus, such harmful effects are anticipated to drive the need to adopt precautionary measures such as installing radiation protective curtains on their premises.
