Segment Analysis

The global anti-radiation drugs market has been segmented based compound, application and distribution channel.

On the basis of compound, the market is segmented into potassium lodide (Kl), prussian blue, DTPA (diethylenetriamine pentaacetate) and others. The potassium lodide (Kl) segment dominated the market in 2022. The high demand for KI pills as radiation protection is the cause of this.

Based on application, the global anti-radiation drugs market has been segmented into acute radiation syndrome (ARS), cancer treatment, radiation exposure and others. The acute radiation syndrome (ARS) segment dominated the market in 2022. This is because ARS is serious and can be fatal if not treated right away.

Based on distribution channel, the global anti-radiation drugs market has been segmented into hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies and others. The hospital pharmacies category generated the most income in 2022. This is because hospital pharmacies serve as the primary source of anti-radiation drugs for patients receiving treatment for cancer or ARS.

Regional Analysis

The global Anti-radiation drugs market, based on region, has been divided into the North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World. North America consists of US and Canada. The Europe anti-radiation drugs market comprises of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, and the rest of Europe. The Anti-radiation drugs market in Asia-Pacific has been segmented into China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and the rest of Asia-Pacific. The Rest of the World Anti-radiation drugs market comprises of Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

The North America anti-radiation drugs market dominated this market in 2022 (45.80%). Both the United States and Canada have active nuclear power industries. The need for anti-radiation pharmaceuticals to protect local residents and employees is highlighted by the presence of nuclear power plants, radiation-using research organizations, and healthcare facilities.

Moreover, the Europe market has been persistently growing over the forecast period.
