The global non-disruptive testing and inspection market size was US$ 8.5 billion in 2021. The global non-disruptive testing and inspection market is forecast to grow to US$ 14.8 billion by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.

Non-destructive testing and inspection is an essential method to verify an object, material, or system without damaging anything. The process inspects or evaluates material components for checking discontinuities without damaging the reliability of the part.

Factors Influencing the Market

The increasing demand for non-disruptive testing and inspection services, mainly for power generation and technological advancements, will propel the growth of the market in the coming years. 

Rising demand for non-disruptive testing and inspection services for the aging infrastructure is likely to drive market growth. Non-disruptive testing and inspection services help tackle corrosion issues. In addition, the rising adoption of IoT solutions will surge the growth of the global non-disruptive testing and inspection market in the coming years.

During the estimated period, the market is expected to be fueled by stringent government regulations regarding product safety and quality.

On the contrary, a shortage of technical experience may limit the growth of the market during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively influenced the global non-disruptive testing and inspection market. The demand for non-disruptive testing and inspection service declined significantly due to the postponement of R&D activities. In addition, the halt on the new oil & gas exploration projects and reducing demand for crude oil has hampered the market growth.
