Non-destructive Testing Market Size, Share, Trends, Growth, Production, Consumption, Revenue, Company Analysis and Forecast 2021-2030

The global Non-destructive Testing market size is expected to be worth around US$ 32.9 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.

The global Non-destructive Testing market size was valued at US$ 23.9 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% during forecast period 2021 to 2030.

Growth Factors

The market is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The growth is ascribed to the increasing manufacturing in the developing as well as developed nations.

The use of non-destructive testing (NDT) helps in detecting the faults precisely, reducing the product/component failure probability as well as costs incurred in the repairs of the components. The use of NDT also speeds up the process of manufacturing as the possible faults are eliminated beforehand. The key factor expected to drive the market is the technological advancements in non-destructive testing methods. Improvements in the techniques have ensured deviation-free fault detection and have reduced the complexity involved in the testing procedures considerably.

The ultrasonic testing segment is expected to witness significant growth. This growth is ascribed to the ease of handling the equipment, availability of skilled technicians, and precise fault detection. The manufacturing segment is expected to deploy NDT techniques extensively over the forecast period owing to the increasing awareness regarding their use.

Report Highlights

The services segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 74.8% in 2020 and is expected to remain dominant over the forecast period. The high upfront cost of non-destructive equipment coupled with technical complexities involved in their deployment/installation is the major reason influencing end-users to outsource their non-destructive testing operations. In addition, a lack of a skilled workforce to perform non-destructive testing is another factor limiting new installations of non-destructive testing equipment worldwide. Stringent government regulations regarding work safety are further influencing end-users to outsource their non-destructive testing operations to third-party service providers.

The equipment segment is poised to witness steady growth during the forecast period. Advancements in technology leading to the availability of state-of-the-art variants are expected to contribute to the growth of this segment. The availability of advanced variants has expanded the application of the equipment leading to an additional demand. Resurgence in the industrial sector, especially in emerging economies such and India and China, is also anticipated to trigger new installations during the forecast period.

The ultrasonic testing segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 24.7% in 2020. The segment is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing test method segment at a CAGR of over 7.7% over the forecast period. This growth is ascribed to the increasing adoption of ultrasonic detectors in manufacturing processes. Ultrasonic detectors are portable, easy to use, and provide precise results as compared to traditional non-destructive testing techniques. As a result, the adoption of ultrasonic testing is improving at a considerable rate and is expected to improve in the coming years.

The radiographic testing segment is also expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the sophisticated detection of faults using advanced equipment such as industrial CT scanners. The use of radiographic testing provides the most precise results as compared to all other test methods, which helps technicians and operators to focus on particular areas so that minimum faults occur in the final product. However, the cost incurred in deploying the testing equipment is considerably high, which is expected to hinder the growth of the segment to some extent in the forthcoming years.

The manufacturing vertical segment dominated the non-destructive testing market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 22.4% in 2020. The segment is expected to witness a CAGR of more than 7.8% over the forecast period primarily due to ever-increasing volume of manufacturing across the globe. The manufacturing vertical is expected to deploy numerous NDT processes thereby leading to an increase in demand for non-destructive testing services, globally. Moreover, non-destructive testing has been traditionally used extensively in oil and gas applications. Test methods such as ultrasonic and eddy current have been used to detect cracks in the pipes both underground and elevated. However, with increasing awareness, Non-destructive testing techniques are being deployed in several other applications such as aerospace, defense, and automotive.

The power generation segment comprises numerous industries such as power grids and hydroelectric power plants. The segment is expected to witness healthy growth over the forecast period with a CAGR of more than 7.0%. Continuous increase in the power demand in developing nations is the major reason for the considerable adoption rate of non-destructive testing techniques in power generation as the use of NDT techniques guarantees faster production rates.

North America emerged as the dominant segment in 2020 with a revenue share exceeding 34.0%. This is attributed to the adoption of NDT techniques across numerous applications, the availability of a skilled workforce, and the number of non-destructive testing training institutes in the region. Furthermore, power generation using shale oil in the U.S. and Canada is expected to positively impact the growth rate in the region. Besides, the growing emphasis on the use of NDT to avoid unexpected failures of systems is expected to drive the regional market.

In Asia Pacific, the market is expected to witness a CAGR of more than 8.0% over the forecast period. This growth is ascribed to an increase in manufacturing, construction, and power generation activities in the region. Although the region faces a scarcity of skilled labor currently, it is expected to reduce, as the awareness and adoption of non-destructive testing techniques increases in the coming years. Furthermore, Middle East, due to the significant presence of the oil and gas industry is expected to be a potential market for NDT techniques.
