The Global Radiation Shielding Glass Market is projected to be US$ 154.8 Mn in 2019 and is expected to reach US$ 246.6 Mn by 2028 at a CAGR of 5.3%.

Radiation shielding glass, also known as, X-ray glass, is lead glass used to provide shielding protection by absorbing the energy released during radiation. The shielding effect is produced owing to the use of lead and barium, and the glasses can be either optically transparent or have a slight yellow tint. These glasses protect technicians in the field of radiation therapy, medical laboratories, and nuclear applications. Radiation shielding glasses provide an excellent barrier against harmful gamma and x-rays emitted during radiation. They are manufactured in a variety of sizes, shapes, and thicknesses depending on the intended application, and in most cases, the level of shielding depends on the thickness of the glass.

Exposure to radiation can have severe harmful effects on humans and the entire ecosystem, as well. Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy to affect the atoms in living cells and thereby damage their genetic material (DNA). If the damage is not repaired correctly, a cell may die or eventually become cancerous. A high level of radiation exposure delivered over a short period of time can cause symptoms such as nausea and vomiting within hours and can sometimes result in death. A high level of radiation exposure delivered over a short period of time can cause symptoms such as nausea and vomiting within hours and can sometimes result in death. It can also result in long-term health effects such as cancer and cardiovascular disease which provides a strong reason for the adoption of radiation shielding glasses in various high-risk applications.

Global Radiation Shielding Glass Market Revenue (US$ Mn), 2018–2028

The growing prevalence of cancer has resulted in the increasing adoption of radiotherapy, which is expected to be a major factor driving the demand of the target market. Rising healthcare expenditure and growing awareness regarding wellness are anticipated to support the global radiation shielding glass market. In addition to this, expansion in the number of nuclear plants across various regions is expected to further fuel the growth of the target market over the forecast period.

Furthermore, with robust growth of the healthcare industry globally and a strong adoption of technological advancements, radiation shielding glasses have gained tremendous importance over the years which is expected to propel the growth of the global Radiation Shielding Glass market over the forecast period.

However, the high cost of radiation shielding glass, owing to the high cost of raw material and intricate manufacturing process, directly reflects on the price of the products. This is a major factor expected to hamper the growth of the target market to a certain extent. Nonetheless, the development of novel materials such as Strontium-Barium glass instead of lead, due to the high toxicity of lead is anticipated to increase further adoption of such glasses at various facilities, which is likely to aid the growth of the target market during the forecasted period.
