Non-destructive Testing Market Summary
The global non-destructive testing market size was estimated at USD 21.28 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 45.97 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2025 to 2033. The growing manufacturing activities across the developing and the developed nations are estimated to drive the market over the forecast period.
The increasing technological innovations have enabled the development of advanced non-destructive testing processes with improved & precise safety & fault detection. Furthermore, increasing awareness amongst the manufacturers regarding the use of Non-destructive Testing (NDT) is expected to improve the penetration of NDT techniques in the coming years.
The utilization of NDT techniques in projects allows for quicker completion due to the detection of faults in complex areas and irregular surfaces. This reduction in the possibility of failures is expected to drive the demand for non-destructive testing in the coming years. Additionally, the ease of operating and efficiency in fault detection provided by ultrasonic equipment, compared to other NDT equipment, is a significant factor contributing to the increasing adoption of the ultrasonic test method. Moreover, advancements in ultrasonic technology anticipated within the next eight years are likely to further boost the adoption of this testing procedure due to its simplicity.
The market is projected to experience significant growth during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increasing urbanization in developing countries like India and China, which involves extensive construction and manufacturing projects. The fast pace of such projects necessitates the implementation of testing processes to ensure the quality of work. This trend is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of non-destructive testing (NDT) in these countries, consequently enhancing its global market penetration.
Increasing oil and gas projects in the Middle East and North America are expected to deploy NDT techniques in order to complete the projects in prescribed timelines and with finesse, thus fueling the demand for NDT equipment in the regions. Besides, the advancements in non-destructive testing technology have led to the development of radiographic testing equipment such as industrial CT scanners, which precisely detect faults in machinery and components. However, the cost of the NDT equipment and the expertise required to perform the tests increases the complexity and difficulty of deploying the radiographic testing method.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had detrimental and unexpected consequences for various industries worldwide, such as automotive, construction, airlines, and manufacturing, among others. To mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus and its negative impacts, governments around the world implemented lockdowns as a precautionary measure. This led to disruptions in the global supply chain and a decline in industrial productivity, placing a strain on the global economy. Furthermore, the sudden outbreak of the virus also caused disruptions in companies' production and manufacturing capabilities.
Moreover, the influence of the pandemic on the non-destructive testing (NDT) market arises from the combined response of interconnected industries that utilize NDT for their operations. One such example is the defense industry, which has experienced a relatively mild impact compared to other sectors. This can be attributed to government budget allocations that safeguard the supply and demand ecosystem. While certain defense companies have been significantly affected by the financial shock, the impact is comparatively less than that observed in the aerospace sector.
