How to Start a Radiation Equipment Trading Business with Meydan Free Zone
Radiation equipment covers medical imaging, radiation therapy, industrial radiography, radiation protection, and scientific research applications — all sectors where the UAE has active and growing infrastructure. The UAE nuclear imaging equipment market was valued at USD 33.12 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.12% through 2030.[1] The broader UAE diagnostic imaging equipment market reached USD 167.41 million in 2025 and is forecast to expand at 6.12% CAGR to USD 225.35 million by 2030.[2] The UAE Ministry of Health installed state-of-the-art PET/CT scanners in major public hospitals in March 2024.
The International Atomic Energy Agency is collaborating with the UAE to develop local radiopharmaceutical production capacity. The Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant — the Arab world's first operational nuclear power station — adds a further institutional dimension to radiation equipment demand in the UAE.
4773.d6 - Radiation Equipment Trading
Activity 4773.d6 covers the trading of radiation equipment. This encompasses nuclear imaging systems including PET, SPECT, and gamma cameras; diagnostic X-ray and fluoroscopy equipment; radiation therapy systems; industrial radiography equipment; radiation detectors and dosimeters; radiation shielding materials and products; Geiger counters; and all equipment and devices for the generation, detection, measurement, and protection from ionising radiation in medical, industrial, and scientific applications.
Activity 4773.d6 covers radiation equipment broadly. Medical devices for human healthcare broadly fall under activity 4773.b1.
Inspection and NDT equipment is covered under 4773.c1.
In short: if you are trading equipment that generates, uses, or detects radiation in medical, industrial, or scientific applications, you are in. General medical devices fall under 4773.b1.
