Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a method used to examine, test, or assess products, parts, or assemblies for discontinuities or discrepancies in functionality without causing any damage to the tested part or system. NDT techniques are applied in production lines, on-site inspections, and fabrication units to ensure product reliability, maintain manufacturing process integrity, achieve a consistent quality level, and reduce overall product costs.
The primary techniques of non-destructive testing (NDT) and inspection include magnetic particle testing, ultrasonic testing, visual testing, liquid penetrant testing, eddy-current testing, radiographic testing, acoustic emission testing, and others. Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a non-destructive procedure used to detect cracks and defects in parts and components by utilizing sound waves. NDT inspection methods encompass visual inspection, surface inspection, volumetric inspection, and others. These services find applications in various industries, including manufacturing, oil & gas, aerospace, public infrastructure, automotive, power generation, and other verticals.

The non-destructive testing (ndt) and inspection market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.97 billion in 2023 to $9.66 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of non-destructive testing (NDT) in the aerospace industry and the high demand for NDT methodologies in the oil and gas industry.
The non-destructive testing (ndt) and inspection market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.01 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising urbanization, an increase in research and development activities, and a growing demand for non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection services in the power generation sector. Key trends projected for the forecast period include advancements in digital radiography, increasing innovations in ultrasonic testing (UT), a growing use of robotics and automation, the application of infrared thermography, a focus on digital NDT and data analytics, and ongoing product innovations.
The NDT and inspection market is anticipated to experience substantial growth, propelled by the rapid expansion of industrialization and urbanization globally. As reported by The International Institute for Environment and Development, the global urban population reached 4.4 billion in 2021. Industries, particularly in high-paced manufacturing sectors such as aerospace, are increasingly investing in NDT and inspection services for frequent quality assessments and infrastructure failure detection. Collaborations with NDT service providers for training are also common to ensure production efficiency. Eurostat's statistical report in August 2022 highlighted an 8% increase in the European Union's industrial production in 2021 compared to the previous year. The value of sales for industrial production in the EU rose by nearly 14%, reaching $5429.08 billion (€5 209 billion) in 2021. This robust industrial growth contributes to the significant expansion of the NDT and inspection market.
A surge in research and development (R&D) activities is expected to be a driving force for the non-destructive testing (NDT) and inspection market. R&D initiatives, aimed at discovering new knowledge and advancing technologies, play a crucial role in enhancing manufacturing, processing, testing, and inspection processes. Ola Electric's investment of $500 million in establishing a battery innovation center in India exemplifies the emphasis on indigenous cell research and development. The Battery Innovation Center equipped with cutting-edge research equipment, including advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies, demonstrates the commitment to technological advancements that support the growth of the NDT and inspection market.
The NDT and inspection market are characterized by a key trend-technological advancement. Major players in this field are dedicated to developing innovative technological solutions to strengthen their market positions. VCxray Inspection Service's launch of x.OS in April 2022, an X-ray operating system for non-destructive testing (NDT), exemplifies the industry's commitment to advancing technological solutions.
Companies operating in the NDT and inspection market are strategically focusing on innovation to enhance their market standing. Waygate Technologies introduced the BRIC (Boiler Robotic Inspection & Cleaning) service in June 2021, utilizing cutting-edge robots for the safe and efficient inspection and cleaning of industrial boilers. This innovative service eliminates physical risks to inspectors, provides precise data, and significantly reduces inspection costs in industries such as chemicals, paper manufacturing, and energy.
In November 2021 Acuren's acquisition of Premium Inspection and Testing Group is indicative of the industry's consolidation. This acquisition broadens Acuren's service capabilities, including rope access-based industrial solutions, materials engineering and testing, and reliability engineering, further solidifying their position in the non-destructive testing and inspection sector.
