Global Iridium-192 Market Definition

Iridium-192 is a manmade radioactive isotope of iridium that is formed from nonradioactive iridium metal in a nuclear reactor. It is a silvery-white, shiny, very dense metal that will not rust when exposed to natural elements. It emits gamma rays and has a half-life of 74 days. Iridium-192 is used in medicine in the form of tiny seeds, each about the size of a grain of rice. For industrial application, industrial gauges hold pencil-like metal sticks of solid Iridium-192 or small pencil-like tubes that contain pellets of Iridium-192.

High specific activity coupled with small focal spot sizes makes Iridium-192 the preferred choice for most gamma radiography applications. The practical working thickness range in nickel, copper, or steel alloys for Iridium-192 is commonly accepted as 0.8 in-2.5 in (12-63 mm), which may vary depending on the sensitivity requirement and imaging methodology.

Global Iridium-192 Market Overview

The rising use of Iridium-192 across different industries is a big reason why the market is growing. You see, Iridium-192, a radioactive isotope, is becoming more and more popular, especially for things like checking pipelines, rigs, and other structures using radiography. Plus, it's used in medicine, like in brachytherapy, where the source of irradiation is placed inside the body. Demand for Iridium-192 in medicine is really taking off! For example, the World Nuclear Association says that over 40 million nuclear medicine procedures happen each year, and the need for radioisotopes is climbing by as much as 5% every year. Iridium-192 is a go-to choice for medical applications, mostly because it's so effective at fighting those pesky cancer cells.

However, the adverse health impact of Iridium-192 is one of the key factors which could hinder the growth of the market over the forecast period. Exposure to Iridium-192 can cause cancer, owing to its high-energy gamma radiation. In addition to this, external exposure to Iridium-192 can cause acute radiation sickness, burns, and even death. Growing research and development activities in the Iridium-192 industry are anticipated to offer various growth opportunities over the forecast period.
