The global californium market size was USD 69.28 Million in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 107.48 Million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5% during 2023–2031. Californium is a silvery white element belonged to the actinide class. It is a rare element and is one of the extremely radioactive substance elements, which can be used for various applications especially in neutron spectroscopy and neutron diffraction experiments. The element was first coined in 1950 and its name was derived from the state, California as it was discovered at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the University of California. Owing to its propensity to emit neutrons, Californium is extensively used in the start-up of nuclear reactors and is responsible for the production of higher mass elements such as ununoctium. Despite its extensive use in nuclear reactors and the synthesis of heavy mass elements, high radioactivity of the element limits its application.

Californium Market Outlook

Californium Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

  • Wide use of the element in research laboratories, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sectors for various applications such as cancer treatment is expected to drive the market growth in the coming years.

  • High demand for californium in developed regions such as Europe and the United States due to massive nuclear research projects is a key driver of the market.

  • Expensive cost, complicated manufacturing process, and high radioactive nature of californium are major challenges. These factors are projected to hinder the market growth to some extent during the forecast period

  • Wide application for scanning of fuel rods, weapons parts, and aircraft components to detect cracks, faulty welds, and other problems related to the military and defense industry is contributing to the markets growth.

Californium Market Segment Insights

Californium-252 segment to hold significant market share

In the terms of types, the market is bifurcated into Californium-252 (Cf-252) and others. The Cf-252 segment accounted for more than 43.5% of the market in 2019 and is expected to hold significant market share during the forecast period. The wide adoption of Cf-252 in nuclear research and the nuclear fission process in reactors due to its increased stability and outstanding neutron emission capabilities presents a key driver of the segment. Furthermore, the increasing application of the component type in the medical sectors due to increasing demand for innovative radiation therapies to cure malignant tumors. However, Cf-252 can only be made in a high-flux isotope reactor and the procedure is time-consuming.

Californium Market Types

Coal & cement segment held substantial market share in 2020

Based on applications, the global californium market is segmented into nuclear reactors, research & development, healthcare, coal & cement, and others. The coal & cement segment is expected to exhibit robust growth during the targeted period due to increased use of Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) driven by californium-252 in the coal and cement sectors. Furthermore, PGNAA has allowed for real-time sample analysis as well as the highest level of precision and responsiveness for elemental composition readings, all of which are key factors contributing to cost savings. As a result of these benefits, professionals in the coal & cement industry frequently use californium-252 neutron sources.

Californium Market Applications

Hospital & research laboratories segment to hold significant market share

On the basis of end-users, the market is fragmented into agriculture & food industries, hospital & research laboratories, biotechnology & pharmaceutical industries and others. Californium is a man-made radioactive actinide with atomic symbol Cf, which has a wide range of application in hospital and research laboratories. Californium has its medical use as a radiation source for radiotherapy, which are further expanded for the diagnosis and treatment of many cervical and brain cancers. Thus, the hospital & research laboratories segment is expected to drive the segment during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific dominates the global market

In terms of regions, the global californium market is categorized as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to constitute a key market share, accounting for a CAGR of 7.8% of the market during the forecast period. The expansion of this regional market is fueled by increasing demand for various pharmaceutical products from healthcare industries in China and India to help in successful treatment of several diseases such as cancer. Moreover, the presence of a huge customer base and the rapid development of nuclear weapons production in the region with China as a leading country is a key driver of the regional market.
