North American Radiation Protection Apron Market by Type (Front Protection, Vest & Skirt, Full Wrap, Pregnancy Lead Apron), Material (Lead Apron, Light Lead Composite Apron, Lead Free Apron), Country (US, Canada) - Forecast to 2026
[106 Pages Report] The North American radiation protection aprons market is projected to reach USD 48 million by 2026 from USD 35 million in 2021, at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. The growth of the North American radiation protection aprons market is being driven by factors such as increasing number of trained radiologic technologists, increasing safety awareness, the growing number of orthopedic and spine surgeries, and growth in the number of PET/CT scans. Lead aprons are deemed no longer necessary for adult patients in dental X-ray procedures in the US is expected to restrain North American radiation protection market growth. Increasing usage of nuclear medicine & radiation therapy coupled with the rising incidence of cancer, and recommendations for cancer screening are expected to offer strong growth opportunities for players in the market. In contrast, discomfort and pain due to the weight of lead aprons, and high and growing cost of lead may challenge market growth to a certain extent. The North American radiation protection aprons market is segmented based on type, material, and country.

COVID-19 impact on the North American radiation protection aprons market
Healthcare policies have recommended pausing elective and routine medical services, particularly surgical procedures and imaging examinations. The public is also hesitant to visit any healthcare facility for fear of being exposed to the disease. Financial hardships faced by radiology centers also contribute to the decline in imaging case volumes. This decline would lead to lesser radiology procedures conducted in the coming few months, which will lead to lesser demand for radiation protection aprons.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted nuclear power and the nuclear fuel industry on both the supply and demand sides. According to the International Association for Energy Economics, the demand for electricity in the US will decline by 3% in 2020. These factors have negatively impacted the radiation protection aprons market during the pandemic. Many companies operating in the market have also faced disruptions in the supply chain and a decline in sales during the COVID-19 pandemic.
North American radiation protection aprons Market Dynamics
DRIVER: Increasing number of trained radiologic technologists
Trained radiologic technologists are required to effectively operate 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 directly impact the medical radiation protection aprons market
RESTRAINT: No mandate for using lead aprons during dental x-ray procedures in the US
Conventionally, in dental clinics across the US, the use of lead aprons was mandated for patients to protect themselves from excessive radiation during dental X-ray procedures. However, according to the Center for Health Protection, Radiation Protection Services (RPS), as of 2016, lead aprons in dental are not mandatory for adult patients. Though the RPS has recommended providing lead aprons for patients who want to wear them during treatment procedures voluntarily, this policy change is expected to affect the demand for medical radiation protection aprons in dental clinics. Similarly, according to a report from the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, the benefits of lead aprons for patients in dental radiography are minimal as compared to the benefits offered by E-speed films and rectangular collimation (rectangular collimation is used in dental clinics to reduce radiation doses for patients). With the availability of alternatives for lead aprons in dental clinics, the demand for adult medical radiation protection aprons is expected to decrease among these end users during the forecast period.
OPPORTUNITY: Recommendations for cancer screening
Governments in developed countries and primary care doctors recommend cancer screening tests for patients to detect cancer in the early stages and decrease the mortality rate. The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening for colorectal cancer starting at 50 years of age to 75 years of age in the US as a means of preventing disease incidence and ensuring early-stage treatment. Canada has also implemented biennial colorectal cancer screening guidelines for people aged 5074 years.
These recommendations are expected to increase the number of tests conducted in diagnostic labs. This will drive the demand for radiation protection aprons products in the coming years.
CHALLENGE: High and growing cost of lead
Lead is the most important raw material required to manufacture radiation safety accessories such as gloves, aprons, and eyewear. However, it is extensively used for other purposes such as fire protection and manufacturing lead storage batteries. Due to its increasing use in other industries, its cost is projected to increase soon. This brings up the need to develop novel raw materials. Hence, the increasing cost of lead will challenge the North American radiation protection aprons market during the forecast period.
Front protection aprons segment dominated the North American radiation protection aprons market in 2020.
Based on type, the North American radiation protection aprons market is segmented into front protection aprons, vest & skirt aprons, and other aprons. In 2020, the front protection aprons segment accounted for the largest share of this market primarily due to the wide availability and high usage of these aprons in dental clinics and hospital settings.
The lead aprons segment to witness the highest market share during the forecast period.
Based on material, the North American radiation protection aprons market is segmented into lead aprons, light lead composite aprons, and lead-free aprons. The lead aprons segment accounted for the largest share of the North American medial radiation protection aprons market in 2020. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the durability of these aprons and their efficiency in blocking radiation and protecting the body.
US was the largest regional market for North American radiation protection aprons market in 2020.
Based on country, the North American radiation protection aprons market is segmented into the US and Canada. The growth of the North American market can be attributed to increasing awareness of radiation safety, the increasing number of radiography procedures performed, and ongoing research aimed at the development of new and advanced radiation protection products. In 2020, the US accounted for the largest share of the North American radiation protection aprons market. The large share can be attributed to the increasing number of radiography procedures performed and the rising number of healthcare professionals that use radiography equipment.
