Global NDT equipment market to exceed $5.76 billion by 2022

Global Non Destructive Testing Equipment Market is anticipated to reach USD 5.76 billion by 2022, as per a new research report by Radiant Insights, Inc. Stringent government safety initiatives for inspection and quality control across numerous industry verticals are estimated to drive industry growth. The government is focusing on safety issues in order to prevent accidents.

NDT is a technique applied to detect the defects in component or material in order to avoid equipment failure. It is implied to assure safety for both tester and tested product. This equipment assures reliability by avoiding the risk of over sightedness and it is expected to aid in elevating the industry demand.

Lack of trained workforce for investigating the components and material is anticipated to hamper the non destructive testing equipment market growth. Additionally, training offered by training institutes on out dated equipment is likely to challenge the industry demand. However, the advancement in the technology acts as an opportunity in the non-destructive test equipments market as it offers more reliable and accurate inspection data. The data is more repeatable and recordable with advanced NDT technologies.

Ultrasonic testing is used in various industries such as aerospace and defense, aluminum construction, steel, manufacturing as well as automotive. It was valued for USD 1.18 billion in 2014 and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2015 to 2022 owing to properties namely flaw detection/evaluation, material characterization and dimensional measurements.
