The dosimeter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.23 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the global expansion of nuclear energy, increased space exploration activities, the expansion of the healthcare industry, government initiatives for safety, and the growing emphasis on environmental monitoring. Major trends expected in this period include the increasing use of wearable technology, ongoing technological advancements, a heightened emphasis on workplace safety, advancements in dosimeter technology, and the trend towards miniaturization and wearable dosimeters.

The increasing prevalence of cancer is anticipated to drive the growth of the dosimeter market. Cancer is a widespread health concern globally, with millions of new cases reported each year, making it a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Dosimeters play a crucial role in cancer treatments by mapping the radiation dose distribution within the tumor and surrounding healthy tissues. For example, in 2023, according to the National Cancer Institute, it is estimated that there will be 1,958,310 new cases of cancer at any site and an estimated 609,820 deaths. The rate of new cancer cases at any site was 438.7 per 100,000 men and women per year, with varying rates across different demographics and cancer types. As the prevalence of cancer continues to rise, the demand for dosimeters for accurate and precise radiation monitoring in cancer treatments is expected to increase, driving the growth of the dosimeter market.

The anticipated growth of the mining industry is expected to drive the expansion of the dosimeter market. The mining industry encompasses a range of processes involved in the extraction, management, and processing of naturally occurring solid minerals from the Earth. In various mining environments, dosimeters play a crucial role in protecting miners by continuously measuring the amount of ionizing radiation to which they are exposed over a specific period. For instance, in December 2023, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the mining sector's gross value added increased by 13.9% to reach $6.17 billion. This contributed to a 3.8% real increase in South Australia's gross state product in 2022-23, surpassing the national growth rate of 3.0%. The growth of the mining industry has not only led to increased business investment, private capital spending, and record-high export revenue but has also contributed to Australia's economic growth and generated employment opportunities. Consequently, the rise in the mining sector is a key driver for the growth of the dosimeter market, as safety measures become increasingly crucial in such environments.

Technological advancements have become a key trend in the dosimeter market, with companies actively adopting new technologies to maintain their positions in the industry. An example of this trend is evident in the actions of Mirion Technologies Inc., a U.S.-based dosimeter manufacturer. In January 2023, Mirion Technologies Inc. launched an innovative technology that combines Spot's radiation detection technology with the Spot agile, mobile robot. This integration allows personnel to measure and identify radiation from a safe distance. The Mirion backpack, as part of this technology, facilitates the integration of various types of detectors and inputs. These include the Robot Controller of Operations Interface, RDS-32 Survey Meter, data analyzer module, and SPIR-Explorer sensor. The SPIR-Explorer sensor functions as an all-in-one detection system for dosimetry and spectrometers measurements. This advancement reflects the industry's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technologies to enhance radiation detection capabilities, making dosimetry safer and more efficient.

Major companies in the dosimeter market are actively developing innovative products with advanced technologies, such as personal noise dosimeters, to offer reliable services to customers. A personal noise dosimeter is a specialized sound level meter designed to measure an individual's noise exposure over a specific time, typically a workday. For example, in July 2023, TSI Inc., a U.S.-based provider of measurement software and solutions, launched the Quest Edge 7 Personal Noise Dosimeter. This product is equipped with innovative features that make it a powerful tool for preventing noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and contributing to the creation of safer, healthier workplaces. By providing real-time insights into noise exposure, the Edge 7 enables workers to take proactive measures to protect their hearing, such as using ear protection or requesting adjustments to their work environment. This reflects the industry's commitment to leveraging advanced technologies for the development of dosimeters that enhance workplace safety and contribute to employee well-being.

In November 2021, Mirion Technologies Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in nuclear monitoring and detection systems, completed the acquisition of CHP Dosimetry for $2.5 million. This strategic acquisition was intended to reinforce Mirion's position in the dosimetry market and broaden its customer base. CHP Dosimetry, the acquired company, specializes in providing dosimetry services across various sectors, including medical practices, veterinary offices, universities, government agencies, as well as industrial and environmental companies. CHP Dosimetry is a U.S.-based distributor of dosimetry services.
