Betavoltaic device refers to a nuclear battery that generates electric current from beta particles (electrons) emitted from a radioactive source, commonly hydrogen isotope tritium. The function of this device is similar to the photovoltaic cells, providing a continuous and long-lasting power supply. Applications for betavoltaic batteries include implanted medical devices like pacemakers, remote sensors, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). They can also be used for remote applications, such as powering scientific equipment in spacecraft, underwater exploration, the mining and oil industries, underground, in polar and high mountain regions, military equipment, sensor networks for environmental monitoring, and bridges with embedded sensors, because of their high energy density, long lifespan, and antijamming capabilities. The increasing medical devices sector especially for manufacturing cardiac pacemakers is providing market growth opportunities for betavoltaic devices. In addition, the rising emphasis on minimizing development costs and improving the power output of betavoltaic devices is offering market opportunity. The increasing need for clean energy solutions owing to environmental issues awareness is significantly responsible for driving the market. Further, the growing need for reliable and long-lasting power sources in remote and harsh environments is driving the market demand. On the contrary, the significant regulatory challenges that are hindering product development and commercialization are challenging the betavoltaic device market.

The tritium segment is expected to dominate the global betavoltaic device market through the forecast period.
