Organic Scintillators Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product type (Organic Crystals, Organic Liquids, Plastic Scintillators), By Application (Radiation Detection, Medical Imaging, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Scintillator is a device that detects radioactive particles and radiation by re-emitting the straight radiation in the way of light photons which are then transformed by image sensors to electrical signals. When stimulated by ionizing radiation a scintillator experiences scintillation, a characteristic of luminescence. Once hit by an approaching projectile, light-emitting materials consume its energy and scintillate, they re-emit the energy absorbed in light form. Scintillators typically contain crystals that are transparent to light. These scintillators perform effectively if they involve organic compounds, which are more probable to retrieve a gamma radiation within the material and soak up its energy. Organic scintillators are organic hydrocarbons  which comprise benzene ring structures intimately connected in different ways. Its luminescence usually decreases within a couple of nanoseconds.

Some of the factors driving the organic scintillator market are the rising demand for new radiological medical applications and rising usage for radiation monitoring in homeland security. These constant advancements are driven by the emergence of new applications and by the increasing need for hand held detection equipment and compact radiation. Scintillators have enormous capacity for production, in particular, in low-cost and high-resolution radiation detection equipment industries and performance. However, the industry is in fact highly price sensitive and it is difficult for small players to maintain thier position in suhc as high cost industries.  Moreover, the presence of vast numbers of well known manufacturers around the regions would likely hinder the entrance of new entrants into the industry.

Organic Scintillators Industry Developments

• In 2016, Eljen Technology announced the introduction of a new produce range of scintillation materials for the identification of ionising radiation, particularly plastic scintillators. These take the form of a polyvinyl toluene base, with fluorescent emission. They deliver plastics with a variety of properties to accommodate a variety of applications and are capable of manufacturing them in smaller or larger quantities, in order to fit, in order to fit all requirements. This was done to gain a competitive edge in the market.
