Radiation Resistant Converter Market Report 2025

The radiation resistant converter market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.11 billion in 2024 to $1.21 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to military and defense applications, the Cold War-era space race, advancements in electronics miniaturization, preparedness for nuclear accidents, and the expanding use of electronics in spacecraft and probes.

The radiation resistant converter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.7 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth expected in the forecast period is driven by the expansion of space exploration missions, increased use of high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles, development of cubesats and small satellite platforms, rising adoption in medical imaging devices, and government regulations and standards for space-grade components. Key trends include the emergence of digital control systems, advanced gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors, innovative shielding materials, AI-powered health monitoring for converter systems, and customizable, modular converter platforms.

The increase in nuclear power generation is anticipated to drive the growth of the radiation-resistant converter market in the future. Nuclear power generation involves producing electricity by utilizing heat from controlled nuclear fission reactions within a reactor to operate steam turbines. This sector is expanding as countries prioritize reducing greenhouse gas emissions and shifting toward low-carbon energy sources to achieve global climate targets while maintaining a stable and continuous electricity supply for rising industrial and residential needs. Radiation-resistant converters play a critical role in nuclear power generation by providing dependable power conversion and shielding vital control and monitoring systems from damaging ionizing radiation. For example, in June 2025, the World Nuclear Association, a UK-based nuclear advocacy group, reported that nuclear power plants produced 2,602 TWh of electricity in 2023, up from 2,545 TWh in 2022. Hence, the growth in nuclear power generation is driving demand for radiation-resistant converters.

Key players in the radiation-resistant converter market are developing innovative radiation-tolerant power converters to improve the performance, reliability, and durability of electronic systems operating in radiation-prone environments. Radiation-tolerant power converters are designed to safely convert electrical power in areas exposed to ionizing radiation, such as space or nuclear facilities. For instance, in May 2024, Microchip Technology Inc., a US-based semiconductor firm, introduced the radiation-tolerant LE50-28 isolated DC-DC 50W power converters, aimed at the expanding Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite market and other new space applications. The LE50-28 series features a design that can endure up to 50 krad total ionizing dose (TID) and resist single event latch-up (SEL) at 37 MeV·cm²/mg, ensuring dependable operation in extreme conditions. Each converter delivers up to 50 W, with the capacity to parallel up to four units for a combined output of 200 W, providing scalable power solutions.

In October 2022, HEICO Corporation, a US-based electronics firm, acquired TRAD SAS for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen HEICO’s capabilities in radiation effects engineering, testing, and simulation by incorporating TRAD SAS’s specialized expertise. The move expands HEICO’s footprint in critical industries such as aerospace, defense, nuclear, and medical sectors that require high-reliability electronic components. TRAD SAS, headquartered in France, supplies radiation-tolerant and radiation-hardened components, including converters, designed for use in space and other harsh environments.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid rise in U.S. tariffs and the subsequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are having a major impact on the electrical and electronics sector, with semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals (essential for batteries and motors) subject to steep duties. Consumer electronics brands face profit erosion, as competitive markets limit their ability to pass costs to buyers. Industrial electronics manufacturers, meanwhile, grapple with delayed projects due to shortages of tariff-impacted components like printed circuit boards. Companies are responding by relocating assembly to tariff-exempt countries, increasing inventory buffers, and redesigning products to reduce dependency on restricted materials.

A radiation resistant converter is an electronic power conversion device engineered to function reliably in environments with high radiation levels. These converters incorporate radiation-hardened components and shielding methods to endure total ionizing dose (TID), single event effects (SEE), and other radiation-related damages without losing performance or experiencing failure.

The primary types of radiation resistant converters include power converters, signal converters, data converters, and optical converters. Power converters are electronic systems that transform electrical energy from one form to another to meet specific voltage, current, or frequency needs across various applications. These converters employ technologies such as silicon-based, gallium arsenide (GaAs), silicon carbide (SiC), and other advanced materials. They are extensively used in sectors including aerospace, nuclear power, medical devices, industrial settings, and defense. Major end users span the commercial sector, government and defense agencies, healthcare providers, research organizations, and the energy industry.
