Organic Scintillators Technology Dominates the Neutron Detection Market

The Neutron Detection Market deals with the development of neutron detection technology. Neutron detection is an effective detection of neutrons. The two key aspects of effective neutron detection are software and hardware. Among all materials, currently the 3He neutron detector is the dominant material in neutron detection equipment.

The major source of obtaining 3He is tritium production in nuclear weapons manufacturing, because 3He is the byproduct of tritium. The 3He is the biggest growth factor of the market. Based on the types, the neutron detection is segmented into LLAND, Fast Neutron Detectors, Gas Proportional Detectors, Scintillation Neutron Detectors and Semiconductor Neutron Detectors. Organic scintillators is the dominant technology in the market of neutron detection. 

The stock of 3He has been decreased significantly due to the end of cold war. Hence the need to meet the demand for neutron detection materials has been increasing. So, the substitutes like 10B and 6Li loaded glass or coated fibers are being used. The wide usage of neutron detectors in national security for threat detection, arms control and nuclear material assay is the main key growth factor for Neutron Detection Market. Among all the segments, organic scintillators is the dominant technology in the market.

On the basis of regional forecast Neutron Detection Market is segmented into North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle-East, Africa, and Latin America. All regions are expected to register the growth during the forecast period. North America is expected to register highest growth by the end of forecast period. Asia-Pacific is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, due to rising number of major players in this region.
