The Non-destructive Testing Services Market is expected to reach USD 18.58 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period (2024–2031). The growth of the NDT services market is driven by stringent regulations for public safety and product quality, the rising need to assess the structural integrity of aging infrastructure and assets, and the growing significance of advanced NDT techniques in the industrial sector. However, the high costs of NDT services restrain the growth of this market.
Furthermore, increasing investments in infrastructure projects across developing countries and the increasing outsourcing of NDT processes are expected to generate market growth opportunities. However, the lack of skilled NDT technicians and the increasing complexity of machines and infrastructure are major challenges for the players operating in this market. Additionally, the growing use of robots for NDT and the integration of AI technology into NDT processes are prominent trends in the NDT services market.
