The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has been unfavorable and unforeseen for all industry sectors, including automobile, construction, airlines, and manufacturing. Covid virus's spread in different parts of the world and global sales of NDT and inspection equipment and services for major sectors like oil and gas and aerospace are predicted to fall by 10-15% in the fiscal year 2020. The fall in the number of new oil and exploration projects, the temporary shutdown of production facilities, and the drop in crude oil prices are all predicted to hinder the expansion of the NDT and inspection mark industries. The global supply chain instability and lower industrial productivity impacted the global economy. The virus's quick outbreak also impacted the companies' production and manufacturing capacities.
The key players in the global X-Ray Non-destructive Testing (NDT) market in terms of value and volume include " Zeiss, Fujifilm, General Electric, Shimadzu, Comet Group, Baker Hughes, Mistras Group, Inc, Spellman, Olympus Corporation, Teledyne, Rigaku, Nikon, Werth, Marietta, Applied Technical Services, SEC, Vidisco and QSA Global. These leading players are focusing on new product development and technological innovation to improve their X-Ray Non-destructive Testing (NDT) production and achieve a competitive market share on a global scale. Moreover, some regional and country level players are also investing heavily to expand their product portfolio and to enhance their sales. For instance, In May 2020, YXLON International launched their new operating X-ray inspection system with the innovative universal x-ray and C.T. system YXL ON UX20.
In September 2019, MISTRAS Group acquired New Century Software (U.S.), a leading provider of pipeline integrity management software and services to energy transportation companies.
In June 2019, Olympus Corporation launched the DSX1000 digital microscope, which significantly improves the inspection workflow of users and enables the analysis of a wide variety of samples with a single tool.
In the global X-Ray Non-destructive Testing (NDT) market, the major countries are U.S.; Canada; U.K.; Germany; France; China; Japan; India; Brazil; Mexico; Saudi Arabia; South Africa. U.S. holds the largest share in the global NDT market during the forecast period. Furthermore, due to the presence of various high-profile infrastructure locations in this region, the need for X-ray detectors for inspection is likely to rise throughout the forecast period. The existence of large manufacturing industries such as automotive and heavy engineering, oil and gas, aerospace and defines, and power generation can be attributed to U.S. substantial share. The United States alone is expected to add nearly 3.7 million. Between now and 2023, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). These factors have resulted in a major increase in the demand for X-ray Inspection systems, pushing its market expansion in the U.S. area.
The key applications of X-Ray Non-destructive Testing (NDT) include Aerospace & Défense, Automotive, Construction, Electronics & Semiconductors, Energy & Power, and Others. The Energy and Power segment holds a significant share in the market during the forecast period. Nuclear power is used to generate electricity in numerous countries across the world. Nuclear power facilities generate more than half of the electricity in several countries. Non-destructive procedures are widely used in a variety of applications, including fuel inspection. Many techniques, including as ultrasonics, eddy current, radiographic tests, and acoustic procedures, are employed in this discipline.
The growing need for automated technologies drives the market expansion of X-ray sensors for non-destructive testing. As flat panel x-ray detectors become more widespread, a large market for x-ray detectors for non-destructive testing opens. Also, technology advancements in NDT, such as giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sensing and numerical modeling, as well as infrastructure advancements in emerging regions, are factors driving non-destructive testing adoption. Furthermore, Improved X-Ray detector quality and reduced X-Ray detector pricing are driving the growth of the global X-Ray detector for Non-destructive testing market.
The key restraint of the global X-Ray Non-destructive Testing (NDT) market, which is projected to hamper the market growth, include lack of skilled specialists, high equipment costs, and high maintenance costs. In addition to a lack of capable and competent individuals to carry out NDT and examination activities. Furthermore, large-scale infrastructure expansions in both developed and developing countries.
In 2021, Latin America dominated the global X-Ray Non-destructive Testing (NDT) market and accounted for more than 40% of the market revenue share in terms of value as well as volume. North America has by far the largest market for X-ray non-destructive testing equipment, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. North America had a revenue share of 38.4 percent in the global X-ray non-destructive testing equipment market. According to SIPRI Reports 2021, the growth in total military spending in 2020 was mostly affected by expenditure patterns in the United States and China. The United States boosted military spending for the third year in a row to $778 billion in 2020.
The region's developing countries are involved in the production of defines aircraft, which is projected to improve NDT and inspection equipment and services in the defines and aerospace industries. Many infrastructure expansion initiatives are now being built or are planned to be built, which is expected to drive the growth of the non-destructive testing equipment market in the region during the forecast period.
