Market Estimation & Definition
The Food Irradiation Industry is poised for steady growth, with its market value estimated at USD 203.91 million in 2024 and forecasted to reach USD 304.97 million by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.16% during the forecast period. Food irradiation is a process where food products are exposed to ionizing radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, or electron beams. This process serves to eliminate harmful bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens, extend shelf life, prevent sprouting in produce, and meet international phytosanitary requirements for trade.
Drivers and Restrains:
Food irradiation is the treatment of food by a certain type of energy. The process involves exposing the food, either packaged or in bulk, to carefully controlled amounts of ionizing radiation for a specific time to achieve certain desirable objectives.

Research Methodology
Increasing concerns over the food-borne diseases and high food losses from infection, spoilage, and contamination are some of the key factors driving the global food irradiation market. Rising public concerns over food safety and increased demand for raw food products such as lettuce or spinach will provide ample opportunities for global food irradiation solution providers over forecast period. Restraints of the food irradiation market are lack of irradiation facilities and the reluctance of manufacturers to use this technology as it adds costs, thereby affecting the profit margin.
Segmentation Analysis
The food irradiation market is segmented by radiation source and food type:
Global Food Irradiation Market is segmented by Source of radiation, Food type and by Region.By source of radiation, Gamma radiation held highest market share in 2024 and is expected to keep its dominance over forecast period. Gamma radiation technology extends shelf life of food, meat, spices, and poultry. Gamma ray is a process in which ionizing energy, passes through the food that breaks the molecular bond and ionizes atoms. Gamma rays eliminate bacteria, insects, and parasites and other pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms from the food. Cobalt-60 is the most common source of gamma rays for food irradiation in commercial scale facilities as it is water insoluble and hence has little risk of environmental contamination by leakage into the water systems.
By food type, Meat and Poultry type sub- segment is expected to hold highest market share over forecast period thanks to growing demand for meat and poultry products.
