Increasing Demand for Accurate Inspections
As industries seek precise solutions, the non-destructive testing and inspection market demand is rising to ensure the integrity of materials and components. In contrast, these techniques provide the required accuracy to detect flaws without damaging assets, supporting operational safety, reducing downtime, and maintaining compliance with stringent industry standards. For instance, in April 2024, Baker Hughes’ Waygate Technologies introduced the Krautkrämer CL Go+, an ultrasonic precision thickness gauge for non-destructive testing, which is designed for automotive and aerospace components. It offers 0.001 mm accuracy, advanced data management, and a 3-in-1 upgrade for corrosion thickness gauging and flaw detection.
Growing Adoption of Advanced Imaging Technology
The integration of advanced imaging technologies in non-destructive testing is enhancing the ability to identify even the smallest defects. Moreover, this shift towards more advanced equipment is driven by the need for clearer, more detailed scans, thereby leading to improved decision-making and more reliable inspections. Thus, non-destructive testing and inspection market insights reveal the importance of advanced imaging in enhancing defect detection capabilities. For instance, in September 2024, GB Inspection Systems introduced the integral-PALM, a handheld ultrasonic scanner, offering advanced imaging technology, ease of use, portability, and options for TOFD or conventional transducers. It enhances precision and efficiency in non-destructive testing across various industries.
Rising Need for Portable Testing Solutions
Portable non-destructive testing devices are becoming increasingly essential, as industries seek more flexible and efficient testing options. In addition, these tools offer the advantage of conducting inspections in various locations, including remote and challenging environments, while maintaining high accuracy and reducing the need for large, stationary equipment. Consequently, non-destructive testing and inspection market dynamics are evolving, with increased demand for portable solutions. For instance, in May 2024, Phoenix Inspection Systems Limited introduced Orbital, an automated ultrasonic testing (AUT) weld scanner. It inspects ID/OD pipe welds and flat surfaces for tanks and vessels, holding up to 12 UT probes. Ideal for industries like oil and gas, nuclear, and aerospace.
IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the market, along with the non-destructive testing and inspection market forecast at the global, regional, and country levels for 2025-2033. Our report has categorized the market based on technique, method, and vertical.
Breakup by Technique:
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the technique. This includes visual testing, magnetic particle testing, liquid penetrant testing, eddy-current testing, ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, acoustic emission testing, and others.
Non-destructive testing techniques, such as visual testing for surface defects, magnetic particle testing for ferromagnetic materials, and liquid penetrant testing for non-porous surfaces, are widely used across industries. On the contrary, eddy-current testing detects conductivity changes, ultrasonic testing inspects internal flaws, and radiographic testing uses X-rays for imaging. Meanwhile, acoustic emission testing captures sound waves to locate faults. Overall, these methods are key to the non-destructive testing and inspection market highlights, showing the wide range of technologies used in the industry.
Breakup by Method:
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the method. This includes visual inspection, surface inspection, volumetric inspection, and others.
Non-destructive testing techniques include visual inspection, which involves checking surfaces for visible defects, which uses methods like liquid penetrant testing to detect surface cracks. Furthermore, volumetric inspection includes radiographic and ultrasonic testing to examine internal structures. These widespread applications reflect the non-destructive testing and inspection market share across industries.
Breakup by Vertical:
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the vertical. This includes manufacturing, oil and gas, aerospace, public infrastructure, automotive, power generation, and others.
Non-destructive testing and inspection are important across industries like manufacturing, oil and gas, aerospace, public infrastructure, automotive, and power generation. For example, ultrasonic testing ensures structural integrity in pipelines, aircraft, and bridges, while radiographic testing identifies internal defects in automotive parts and power plant components, enhancing safety and reliability. Hence, these industries significantly contribute to non-destructive testing and inspection market revenue.
