The global market for Carbon-13 Isotope was estimated to be worth US$ 24.90 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 74.86 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 17.0% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Carbon-13 Isotope cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
In 2024, global Carbon-13 Isotope production reached approximately 108.2 kg, with an average global market price of around US$ 230 per gram.In 2024, the total global production capacity of carbon-13 isotope reached 800 kg.
Carbon-13 (13C) is a stable isotope of carbon, with six protons and seven neutrons in its nucleus and six electrons outside, making it electrically neutral. Its natural abundance is approximately 1.109%. Since carbon, along with hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, are the most common elements in organic compounds and living organisms, 13C plays an important role as a tracer atom in studying organic and biochemical reactions.
The development of the carbon-13 industry is highly dependent on advances in isotope separation technology. Unlike radioactive isotopes, the acquisition of stable isotopes relies almost entirely on manual separation and enrichment, which presents a very high technical barrier. The industry is continuously pursuing separation technologies with lower energy consumption, higher efficiency, and higher abundance (>99%) to reduce costs and expand high-end applications.
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) breath testing is currently the most widely used and mature application. The carbon-13 urea breath test is a non-invasive, accurate, and safe gold standard diagnostic method. With the global emphasis on early screening for gastric cancer and rising health awareness, market demand continues to grow steadily.
For other metabolic function studies, C-13-labeled substrates are used to study human glucose and fat metabolism, serving as important tools for scientific research and clinical diagnosis.
Leading companies are expanding beyond simple isotope production to build integrated industry chains, enhancing added value and market control.
Upstream: Controlling the supply of raw materials (such as CO) and gas sources. Midstream: The core carbon-13 isotope gas (such as 13CO and 13CO2) is enriched and produced.
Downstream: This extends to the synthesis of carbon-13 labeled compounds (such as 13C-urea and 13C-glucose), which are then further manufactured into end products such as testing kits. This integrated "gas-labeled compound-end product" model is the key to the company's exceptional profits.
