Description:

The global Thorium-228 market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2.2 million in 2025 to US$ 3.2 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2031.
Thorium-228 is a radioactive isotope. In irradiated thorium elements, 228Th can be produced through specific nuclear reactions. For example, when radium-226 is irradiated in the High Flux Isotope Reactor, actinium-227 and thorium-228 are produced. As a byproduct of the production of actinium-227, thorium-228 can be produced in large quantities.
Thorium-228 has a wide range of applications in the medical field. It can be used to make radium-224/lead-212 generators, which allow radium-224 extracted from thorium-228 to decay over time and produce lead-212 and bismuth-212. Lead-212 and bismuth-212 can be used to study targeted alpha therapies to attack metastatic skin cancer and neuroendocrine tumors with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. In addition, thorium-228 can be combined with other biomolecules to develop a cancer targeted therapy combination. In addition to medical applications, thorium-228 may have other potential applications. However, due to its radioactivity and decay characteristics, these applications need to be carefully evaluated and strictly managed.
Due to the strong radioactivity of thorium-228, thorium separated from irradiated thorium is best stored for 10 to 20 years before reuse to ensure that its radioactivity level is reduced to a safe range. When storing and handling thorium-228, strict radiation protection measures need to be taken to avoid health hazards caused by ionizing radiation.
As a radioactive isotope, thorium 228 has potential application value in many fields, and its development is jointly affected by multiple driving factors and hindering factors.
Thorium 228 has broad application prospects in the medical field, especially in cancer treatment. It can be used to make radium-224/lead-212 generators, and the lead-212 and bismuth-212 produced by these generators can be used to study targeted alpha therapy, which has therapeutic effects on cancers such as metastatic skin cancer and neuroendocrine tumors. With the rising incidence of cancer and the increasing demand for cancer treatment, the demand for thorium 228 is expected to continue to grow.
Continuous technological innovation provides more possibilities for the extraction, separation and application of thorium 228. For example, by improving nuclear reaction technology, the production efficiency and purity of thorium 228 can be improved; by developing new radioisotope labeling technology, thorium 228 can be combined with other biomolecules to develop more cancer targeted therapy combinations.
Governments of various countries have given certain policy support to the research and application of radioisotopes. These policies include financial support, tax incentives, R&D subsidies, etc., which provide a good policy environment for the R&D and application of thorium 228.
There are many technical difficulties in the extraction, separation and application of thorium 228. For example, how to efficiently extract and separate thorium 228, how to ensure its safety and stability, and how to apply it in the medical field all require further technical research and innovation. The production and application costs of thorium 228 are high. This includes raw material costs, production costs, R&D costs, and operating costs. The high cost limits the widespread application and commercialization of thorium 228.
