The global non-destructive testing market size was valued at USD 20,019.5 million in 2023 and is expected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9% from 2023 to 2030. The growing manufacturing activities across the developing and the developed nations is estimated to drive the market over the forecast period. Furthermore, the increasing technological innovations pace have enable the development of advanced non-destructive testing processes with improved & precise safety & fault detection. Furthermore, increasing awareness amongst the manufacturers regarding the use of Non-destructive Testing (NDT) is expected to improve the penetration of NDT techniques in the coming years.

The utilization of NDT techniques in projects allows for quicker completion due to the detection of faults in complex areas and irregular surfaces. This reduction in the possibility of failures is expected to drive the demand for non-destructive testing in the coming years. Additionally, the ease of operating and efficiency in fault detection provided by ultrasonic equipment, compared to other NDT equipment, is a significant factor contributing to the increasing adoption of the ultrasonic test method. Moreover, advancements in ultrasonic technology anticipated within the next eight years are likely to further boost the adoption of this testing procedure due to its simplicity.
