NDT Inspection Services Market Introduction

In 2021, the global NDT Inspection Services Market was worth USD 17.77 billion. Between 2023 and 2032, it is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.

NDT stands for Non-Destructive Testing and is also known as Non-Destructive Examination or Evaluation (NDE) and Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI). It refers to a set of inspection techniques that allow inspectors to assess and collect data about a material, system, or component without causing irreversible damage.

In this field, NDT is regularly utilized as an umbrella term to allude to non-ruinous investigation strategies, examination devices, or even the entire field of non-damaging assessments.

While NDT methods are most commonly associated with industrial applications, such as examining weak areas in boilers used in an oil refinery, they are also employed in the healthcare sector. For example, an expecting mother obtaining an ultrasound to check on her baby’s health and an X-ray or MRI to learn more about physical damage would be considered NDT use cases.

Market Dynamics

Drivers for the Global NDT Inspection Services Market:

With the rise of automation in both industrial production and infrastructure sectors, as well as the desire for minimal breakdown and downtime across industries. The demand for fault detection related to cracks, porosity, manufacturing disorders, and other issues has skyrocketed. As a result, adherence to industrial safety standards is a key element for the significant growth of the NDT market.
Furthermore, various federal institutions and regional groups, such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), have been established worldwide to ensure instrument safety and monitor engineering service testing. This is necessary to obtain approvals and certificates from concerned authorities, thereby positively impacting the NDT market.

Additionally, surging equipment prices have increased the number of firms that outsource inspection activities to third-party service providers with the necessary aptitude and expertise, boosting the market for NDT services.

Restraints for the Global NDT Inspection Services Market:

NDT training services are governed by ISO and ASNT standards, which specify the skill set that NDT inspectors must possess. However, there is a scarcity of educators, which has become an area of concern for training institutes.

On the other hand, the COVID-19 outbreak is projected to have a negative influence on the NDT Services market as it necessitates the deployment of workers onsite. Furthermore, the aerospace sector, one of the primary end-user segments, has been severely impacted globally. Once this pandemic has been brought under control, this market is projected to employ drones for NDT Testing Services in crucial industries such as Oil & Gas, etc.
