Ultrasonic NDT Testing Equipment market Segment Analysis - By End User Type

The aerospace and Defence segment held the highest market share in 2020 and is anticipated to witness significant market growth with a CAGR 9% during the forecast period 2021-2026. Ultrasonic NDT testing is a popular subsurface inspection method used in the aerospace and defence industries to identify voids, fractures, and laminations, as well as examine welds and measure thickness. Carbon fibre-reinforced plastic has become indispensable in the aerospace industry as a growing number of military and commercial aircraft designs rely on the lightweight and high-strength properties of contemporary composites. As these materials are prone to cracking, ultrasonic testing is performed to guarantee the materials' quality and structural integrity. Ultrasonic NDT testing is used in turbine maintenance to detect kinds of damage caused by surface erosion on the blade. The rise of commercial aircraft has been fuelled by increased air travel rates, notably in emerging economies such as North America and Latin America, as well as rising disposable incomes across the world. Manufacturers are concentrating on ways to address the requirement for weight reduction and improved fuel economy. Aluminium alloys, steel alloys, titanium alloys, and composite materials are among the materials used in commercial aircraft. With high passenger travel demand in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions, total demand for commercial aircraft is projected to expand over the next few years. According to Airbus, Airbus received 300 net commercial aircraft orders in the first three quarters of 2020, compared to 127 net orders in the same period in 2019. Airbus delivered 566 commercial aircraft in 2020 and has orders for 383 more. Consequently, with the rise of market for Aerospace and Defence, the market for Ultrasonic NDT Testing Equipment also develops.

Ultrasonic NDT Testing Equipment market Segment Analysis - By Geography

North America region held the highest market share in 2020 of around 36%. The United States dominates the non-destructive testing equipment market in North America, owing to the widespread use of NDT testing equipment across numerous industries. Furthermore, the region's market expansion is aided by the availability of NDT testing equipment training institutions and the high rate of growth in the building and industrial sectors. As per the United States Census Bureau, the total construction spending including both private and public infrastructures increased to $ 1,364,565 million in July 2020 as compared to $1,362,823 million in June 2020. With such rising investments, the country is anticipated to expand the construction of private residential buildings, public infrastructures including roads and highways, bridges as well as commercial buildings in the near future. The Canadian government announced investing $115 million for building a 27 storey residential building in Ottawa as an initiative towards making housing affordable during 2020. This project was developed by Claridge Homes, a part of CMHC’s Rental Construction Financing Initiative towards creating rental housing options in the expensive housing market. Such projects are anticipated to fuel the market demands. Aside from that, several market players have developed new ultrasonic non-destructive testing devices with upgraded and expanded features in order to boost their market share. For instance, in 2019, the NDT Sweeper Scanner, developed by Zetec Inc., is a highly flexible manual 2D encoded scanner for ultrasonic examinations in oil and gas, aerospace, and other industries. Many vendors in the industry are extending their product portfolios and working with other companies to produce more sophisticated instruments, either through acquisitions or new product development. For instance, in June 2020, Suspendem, a major provider of wind turbine maintenance and inspection services in North America, has been acquired by Acuren Inspection Inc. Suspendem's specialist knowledge in wind turbine services is combined with Acuren's extensive experience and capability in rope access, NDT, and engineering to give a holistic solution to the wind sector.
