The medical radiation detection, monitoring & safety market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the medical radiation detection, monitoring & safety market has seen considerable growth in the past few years. Predictions show an increase from $2.02 billion in 2024 to approximately $2.2 billion in 2025, signifying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%.
The expansion during the historic span is largely due to factors such as regulatory adherence, growth of radiation therapy, expansion of nuclear medicine, the emphasis on patient safety, and emergency readiness.
The medical radiation detection, monitoring & safety market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipating a swift expansion in the upcoming years, the market size for medical radiation detection, monitoring, and safety is projected to escalate to $3.23 billion by 2029, signifying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%.
The projected surge within this forecast period is aligned with factors such as personalized radiation therapy, diagnostic radiology, safeguarding of patients and workers, as well as radiation dose reduction. Several trends projected to shape this forecast period include the advancements in X-ray and imaging technologies, ongoing technological innovation, cutting-edge imaging techniques, artificial intelligence-assisted radiation monitoring, and progress in dosimetry.
The escalating incidence of cancer is predicted to fuel expansion in the market for medical radiation detection, monitoring, and safety. Cancer, a disease characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation and dissemination of certain body cells, often requires radiation therapy and nuclear medicine that expose patients to harmful radioactive particles or radiation. As such, medical radiation detection, monitoring, and safety equipment become critical to shield patients from the detrimental radiation, while also detecting and monitoring radiation levels. For instance, the American Cancer Society Inc., a not-for-profit health organization based in the US, anticipates that 1,958,310 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in 2023 in the US. This represents a surge from the 1,918,030 new diagnoses in 2022. As such, the surging incidence of cancer underscores the growth of the medical radiation detection, monitoring, and safety market.

Leading businesses in the medical radiation detection, monitoring, and safety market are producing technologically enhanced products, such as devices that monitor radiation in real time, to instantly detect potential radiation exposure. These real-time monitoring devices are tools that continuously measure and exhibit radiation levels in a particular environment, immediately providing information to identify possible exposure to dangerous ionizing radiation. For example, in June 2024, Thermo Fisher Scientific, a biotechnology company from the United States, launched its digital dosimeter called the NetDose Pro. This petite device is engineered to supervise radiation exposure for workers in various sectors like healthcare, assisting businesses in adhering to stringent regulatory norms. It persistently measures radiation levels and securely delivers data to a mobile or a web-based app, safeguarding both personal and client data. The dosimeter leverages Bluetooth 5.0 wireless technology to connect with a data router or the NetDose mobile app. This enables users to keep an eye on radiation levels in real time, generate reports, allocate devices to carriers, and manage the complete dosimetry system effectively.
