The research report titled, ‘Non-destructive Testing (NDT) Services Market by Type (Inspection, Training, Others), Method (Radiographic, Ultrasonic, Others), Application (Flaw Detection, Others), End-use Industry (Oil & Gas, Manufacturing, Others) & Geography—Forecasts to 2030’, provides an in-depth analysis of NDT services market across five major geographies and emphasizes on the current market trends, market sizes, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts till 2030.

The non-destructive testing (NDT) services market is projected to reach $16.83 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2023 to 2030. The growth of the NDT services market is driven by stringent regulatory standards imposed by governments regarding public safety and product quality, the rising need to assess the structural integrity of aging infrastructure and assets, and the rising significance of advanced NDT techniques in the industrial sector. However, the high cost of NDT services restrains the growth of this market.

In addition, increasing investment in infrastructure projects in developing economies and a high inclination towards outsourcing NDT processes are expected to generate growth opportunities for the stakeholders in this market. However, the lack of a skilled workforce and the increased complexity of machines and structures are major challenges impacting market growth. Additionally, the growing use of robots for NDT and the integration of AI technology in the NDT process are prominent trends in the NDT services market.

Based on type, the global NDT services market is segmented into inspection services, training services, calibration and evaluation services, equipment rental services, and consulting services. In 2023, the inspection services segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global NDT services market. The segment’s large market share is attributed to factors such as the increasing focus of players operating in the market on strategic developments to build inspection service capabilities and the need to inspect mass quantities of products among manufacturers.

However, the calibration and evaluation services segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The need to keep equipment calibrated as per industry standards and the growing need for equipment calibration to broaden service capabilities for customers is expected to drive the growth of this segment in the coming years.

Moreover, the flaw detection segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing use of NDT testing in manufacturing for flaw detection due to extreme temperatures, stress, fatigue, and dynamic loads, and the implications and increasing initiatives of companies for the development of NDT equipment for flaw detection, is expected to drive the growth of this segment in the coming years.

Based on end-use industry, the global NDT services market is segmented into oil & gas, aerospace, power generation, healthcare and medical devices, manufacturing, military and defense, supply chain and transportation, public infrastructure, water and waste management, and other end-use industries. In 2023, the manufacturing segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global NDT services market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the growing focus of companies on the development of radiography testing systems and the growing need for material testing in automotive manufacturing to ensure the structural integrity and reliability of components used in safety-critical areas such as bodywork, brakes, and steering systems.

Moreover, the manufacturing segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing adoption of X-ray technology and computed tomography (CT) for materials testing and the rising inclination of manufacturers towards additive manufacturing are expected to drive the growth of this segment in the coming years.

Based on geography, the global NDT services market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2023, Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of the global NDT services market. Asia-Pacific’s major market share is attributed to the increasing industrialization, growing power generation projects in the region, the surge in oil and gas production across the region, and the growing need for inspection services in the oil and gas industry.

However, the Middle East & Africa is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Factors such as the region’s leading position in the oil and gas industry, government focus on increasing production of oil and gas, growing integration of robots for inspection of oil and gas infrastructure, stringent regulations for inspection of oil & gas industry assets and infrastructure are expected to drive the growth of the NDT services market in the coming years.
