The global thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) services market was valued at $405.9 million in 2018, and is projected to reach $1335.9 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 17.1% from 2019 to 2026. A thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) is a device that measures quantity of radiations emitting from radioactive materials, absorbed doses, equivalent doses, and other related statistics. On exposure of TLD to radiations discharged from industries or power plants, the electrons in the dosimetry system get triggered and gain high energy, thereby providing radiation measurements. On heating, the electrons in the dosimeter regain their original ground state and emit light, which will be measured by utilizing a specialized detector. This emitted light output is directly proportional to the radiation exposure, and the measurement is provided accordingly. Thus, this technique assists in quantitative measurement of gamma, beta radiations, and X-rays. As a result, of which, dosimeters majorly find their application in radiation metrology, experimental nuclear physics, medical safety & security, and nuclear power facilities. Dosimetry service providers have the competencies to provide the reading, interpretation, and calibration of devices for measuring the radioactivity in biological samples, human body, or in assessing radiation doses.

Executive Summary
According to the report titled, 'Global Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) Services Market by Type, Industry, and Dosimetry Service: Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2019-2026' the global thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) services market size was valued at $405.9 million in 2018, and is projected to reach $1,335.9 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 17.1% from 2019 to 2026. A thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) is a device that measures ionizing radiations by assessing the intensity of light emitted from the crystal present inside the dosimeter. When heated, the device releases the trapped electrons in the form of light that is evaluated by a TLD reader. This helps in measuring the exact intensity of the ionizing radiation. TLD finds its application in medical institutions, health physics, nuclear research & industry, and others, due to its accuracy and capability of measuring radiation exposure.. These devices are majorly used in industries where workers are exposed to radiations, wherein they protect workers from exposure to radiations and in cases of accidental radiation leakage. Furthermore, they are used in cancer treatments in which radiation inhibits the growth of cancerous cells.Rise in demand for dosimeters in medical industries for cancer treatments and increase in usage of radioactive materials in the fields of research, defense, and power production are the factors that fuel the growth of the global thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) services market. Moreover, companies are significantly investing in developing devices that are capable for measuring radioactive materials, thereby boosting the growth of the thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) services market across the globe.
