The global X-Ray Shielding Material market size is predicted to grow from US$ 217 million in 2025 to US$ 270 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2025 to 2031.

X-ray shielding materials are substances designed to absorb or attenuate X-ray radiation, protecting individuals and sensitive equipment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. These materials are commonly used in medical facilities, dental clinics, industrial settings, and other environments where X-ray imaging or radiography is performed. The primary purpose of X-ray shielding materials is to reduce the exposure of personnel and the general public to ionizing radiation by effectively blocking or limiting the penetration of X-rays.

The market for X-ray shielding materials includes various manufacturers and suppliers specializing in radiation protection products. Some key brands associated with X-ray shielding materials may include:

Nelco Worldwide is a manufacturer and supplier of radiation shielding products, including lead-based and lead-free materials for X-ray and radiation protection.
