Global Strontium-90 Sealed Radioactive Source Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Strontium-90 Sealed Radioactive Source market size is predicted to grow from US$ 11.70 million in 2025 to US$ 16.64 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2026 to 2032.

Strontium-90 sealed radioactive sources are radioactive sources made by encapsulating the radioactive isotope strontium-90 (Sr-90) and its daughter product yttrium-90 (Y-90) in a corrosion-resistant, high-temperature-resistant, and impact-resistant metal sealed container using a special process. Sr-90 is a pure beta-ray emitter with a half-life of approximately 28.8 years, characterized by stable activity, long service life, and no need for external power supply. Strontium-90 sealed radioactive sources are widely used in industry, medicine, and other fields, and are one of the important radioactive isotope products in industry and scientific research. The Sr-90 sealed radioactive source industry chain exhibits typical characteristics of the nuclear industry, and can be divided into three segments: upstream nuclear raw material supply, midstream radioactive source manufacturing, and downstream end-use applications. The upstream segment primarily involves the separation and purification of Sr-90, a fission product generated during the reprocessing of spent nuclear reactor fuel. Globally, institutions with commercial Sr-90 extraction capabilities are mainly concentrated in a few nuclear powerhouses such as Russia, China, and the United States, resulting in a clear oligopoly in raw material supply. The midstream segment includes processes such as Sr-90 chemical purification, activity detection, source core manufacturing, encapsulation and welding, leak testing, quality certification, and transportation permit management. Sealing technology and radiation safety control are the core technological barriers. Downstream applications encompass industrial thickness measurement systems, level gauges, radiation calibration equipment, medical equipment, and other fields.
