Industrial X-ray involves the utilization of X-rays for the examination and assessment of materials and products across diverse industries. This technique facilitates non-destructive testing (NDT), enabling the detection of defects, inconsistencies, or internal structures without causing harm to the inspected item. Its applications span several sectors, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, electronics, and healthcare.
The primary product categories in industrial X-ray include X-ray instruments, X-ray consumables, and X-ray services. X-ray instruments encompass devices employed to generate and regulate X-rays for a range of industrial purposes, such as inspecting and testing materials and products for defects or ensuring quality assurance. Imaging techniques employed include digital radiography and film-based radiography, utilizing microfocus X-ray, high-energy X-ray, and other variants. These instruments find application in sectors such as aerospace, defense, power generation, automotive, manufacturing, food and beverage industries, among others. Distribution occurs through direct and indirect channels.

This industrial X-ray market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The industrial X-ray market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.79 billion in 2023 to $2.99 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be linked to the adoption of X-ray technologies in the food and beverages sector, increasing demand for X-ray products, the need for point-of-care imaging, the rising demand for early-stage diagnosis of chronic diseases, and the growing utilization of X-ray systems in new applications.
The industrial X-ray market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.99 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing demand for advanced medical imaging systems, heightened awareness of the benefits of digital X-ray imaging, efforts towards enhancing patient-centric healthcare systems, greater investments in healthcare infrastructure, and the expanding adoption of digital radiography technology. Key trends expected in the forecast period include technological advancements, the expansion of X-ray systems, innovations in product development, strategic partnerships and collaborations among industry peers, and the integration of X-ray systems with robotics and automation.
The industrial X-ray market is poised for growth, driven by the expanding food and beverage sector. This industry encompasses various activities such as production, processing, distribution, and sales of edible goods and non-alcoholic beverages. Factors such as evolving consumer preferences, population growth, globalization, and technological advancements fuel the expansion of the food and beverage sector. Within this context, industrial X-rays play a crucial role in quality control, detecting foreign objects, and ensuring product safety without causing damage. For example, data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics in March 2022 revealed that supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores, specialty food stores, and fresh food markets collectively sold 14.7 million metric tons of food and non-alcoholic beverages during the 2020-21 period. This marked a 1.4% increase compared to the previous 12 months, highlighting the growth trajectory of the food and beverage sector and its impact on the industrial X-ray market.
Leading companies in the industrial X-ray market are focusing on innovation to stay competitive. One area of innovation is the development of advanced products such as industrial X-ray diffractometers, which are used for identifying and characterizing the crystalline structure of materials. For instance, Rigaku Corporation, a Japan-based manufacturer of X-ray analysis and inspection equipment, introduced the XSPA-400 ER Detector in October 2022. This new addition to their product lineup offers improved resolution and sensitivity, thanks to its high-performance silicon drift detector (SDD). This enhancement enables users to obtain more accurate and reliable data across a wide range of X-ray diffraction applications.
