The increasing use of cesium in cancer treatment is driving the market growth. This chemical is a natural mineral that has been reported to be effective in treating cancer. It can penetrate the cancerous cells and change the acidic pH to alkaline pH. Once the pH is alkaline, cesium destroys the enzyme system of the cancer cell and thus its reproducing ability. Cesium chloride is used in medical imaging, cancer therapy, and positron emission tomography (PET) in the medical and healthcare industry.
Moreover, an increasing number of cancer patients are demanding safe medical treatments, wherein these chemical isotopes are used, which is expected to drive market growth in the future. Cesium-based cancer treatment therapy is not only cost-effective but also provides a safe and side-effect-free treatment advantage. Thus, the increasing importance and demand for chemicals in cancer treatment can promote the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Increasing demand for cesium in petroleum extraction is a major trend influencing market growth. In the oil and gas industry, the aqueous or brine solution of the chemical formate is extensively used as a drilling fluid and a drill tip lubricant in petroleum exploration. The chemical formate is produced by treating cesium hydroxide with formic acid. It can be effectively used even if the downhole temperature and pressure are very high. Thus, the demand for the chemical is increasing in the oil and gas industry, owing to its suitability.
Further, cesium can also be effectively used as a completion fluid for oil extraction applications. Cesium formate (the brine solution) is frequently used for such applications due to its appropriate density and flow characteristics. Thus, the suitability of cesium formate for the petroleum extraction process due to its characteristics and properties can promote the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The availability of substitutes is a major hindrance to the market growth. In comparison to cesium, rubidium has cost advantages and extraction possibilities. Thus, it is used extensively in fireworks, PET, scanning, medical imaging, and radiography. In addition, rubidium, potassium, and sodium have significantly replaced cesium in magnetohydrodynamic power generation systems.
In comparison to this chemical, rubidium, germanium, potassium, selenium, and sodium are more environment-friendly, and thus they are effectively used as photosensitive materials. Sodium-potassium formate brines and zinc-bromide can also be used instead of cesium formate brine as a drilling fluid in the oil and gas industry. Thus, specific parameters and advantages of substitutes, such as cost efficiency, extraction benefits, environment-friendly nature, and safety in terms of handling, can significantly hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The medical and pharmaceuticals was the largest and was valued at USD 16.90 billion in 2018. Cesium is an element that is not radioactive in its natural form; it can, however, be made radioactive in a lab. Both non-radioactive and radioactive types of the chemical are utilized in the medical industry as medication. Non-radioactive cesium is used orally to treat cancer despite grave concerns over its safety. This is referred to as high pH therapy at times. People who advocate high pH therapy claim that ingesting cesium chloride lowers the acidity (and raises the pH) of tumor cells, which are said to be extremely acidic. But science does not back up these claims. There is no evidence in scientific literature that normal and malignant cells have pH values that are different from one another or that cesium alters the pH of either type of cell. Moreover, the chemical has been used for years in molecular biology to separate virus particles, subcellular organelles and fractions, and nucleic acids from biological samples using density gradient ultracentrifugation.
