North American medical radiation protection aprons market to register a CAGR of 6.6% from 2019 to 2024

The North American medical radiation protection aprons market is projected to reach USD 49 million by 2024 from USD 36 million in 2019, at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period.

The growth of the North American medical radiation protection aprons market is primarily driven by the increasing safety awareness among people working in radiation-prone environments, growth in the number of trained radiologic technologists, growing number of orthopedic and spine surgeries, and the increasing prevalence of cancer.

Protective clothing (including aprons) is used to protect medical staff and patients from harmful radiation during medical procedures, such as radiography, X-ray, and CT. Medical radiation protection aprons are mostly used in dental radiology, fluoroscopy, and mammography procedures.

The growth of the North American medical radiation protection aprons market will primarily be driven by the increasing safety awareness among people working in radiation-prone environments, growth in the number of trained radiologic technologists, growing number of orthopedic and spine surgeries, and the increasing prevalence of cancer. However, currently, there are no mandates for using lead aprons during dental X-ray procedures in the US. This factor is expected to restrain market growth during the forecast period.

Trained radiologic technologists are required for the effective operation of medical imaging equipment, such as X-ray and computed tomography (CT), which are widely used for diagnostic and treatment applications in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Radiologic technologists use personal protective equipment (PPE), such as clothing or other special equipment (including aprons), to protect themselves against exposure to ionizing radiations during the use of this medical imaging equipment. As a result, the growth in the number of radiologic technologists is expected to have a direct impact on the growth of the medical radiation protection aprons market.

Some of the major players operating in this market include Lite Tech, Inc. (US), Burlington Medical, LLC (US), and Protech (US).
