European NDT and Inspection Market worth $4.80 billion by 2030
The report "European NDT and Inspection Market by Technique (Ultrasonic Testing, Visual, Magnetic Particle, Liquid Penetrant, Eddy-Current, Radiographic, Acoustic Emission), Inspection Service, Equipment Rental, and Calibration – Forecast to 2030" The European NDT and inspection market is projected to reach USD 3.48 billion in 2025 and USD 4.80 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2030.
A strong manufacturing and engineering base in Europe is one of the major propellants for the NDT and inspection sector. Industries like aerospace, automotive, defense, rail, and heavy industry mandate high standards for quality and reliability. Europe is home to major OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers that mandate higher standards for precision testing to ensure that weld integrity, dimensions, material strength, and soundness are all confirmed. Advanced NDT methods like phased-array ultrasonic testing, digital radiography, computer-assisted tomography, and eddy current testing are widely employed to test complex shapes and dimensions to ensure adherence to international standards of quality (EN and ISO). Additionally, the move of manufacturers towards the adoption of lightweight materials and high-performance alloys increases the demand for advanced testing methods that will ensure product safety.

“Aerospace sector captured the largest share of the European NDT and inspection market in 2024”
The aerospace sector represented the highest market share within the European NDT and inspection market in 2024 due to its requirements for high levels of safety, reliability, and compliance with regard to aircraft production, maintenance, and lifecycle management. The European aerospace OEMs, engine producers, and components manufacturers make extensive use of NDT for inspecting a number of key components. These include turbine blade inspection, fuselage inspection, inspection of landing gears, avionics inspection, and inspection of composite aircraft. In addition to this, a vast supplier chain for both Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers caters to this industry. The use of new materials like titanium alloys, composites, and additively manufactured components has further heightened the need for inspection methods like phased array ultrasonic testing, computed tomography inspection, and digital radiography. Due to increased aircraft maintenance and the growing demands posed by aging aircraft to conduct regular inspections, the aviation industry continuously and heavily invests in superior quality NDT solutions and inspection services to lead in the region.
“The services segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2025 and 2030”
The services segment is expected to offer the highest growth rate, primarily driven by the outsourcing of inspection work, regulatory requirements, and aging infrastructure, leading to the need for regular inspections. The adoption of advanced NDT methods is driving the need for special expertise, which can be more effectively provided by service companies than internal staff. Additionally, the shortage of certified inspectors accelerates this shift toward third-party service providers, positioning the service segment for strong, sustained growth.
“The UK accounted for a major share of the European NDT and inspection market in 2024”
The UK held a significant share of the European NDT and inspection market in 2024 due to its strong industrial base and high reliance on inspection technologies across critical sectors. The well-established offshore oil & gas industry, particularly in the North Sea, drives consistent demand for pipeline, platform, and structural integrity testing. Additionally, the advanced aerospace and defense manufacturing ecosystem requires rigorous, high-precision non-destructive testing to ensure safety and compliance, further strengthening market adoption. Growing activity in infrastructure development, rail maintenance, and manufacturing also contributes to increased NDT & inspection usage. Collectively, these factors position the country as one of the leading contributors to Europe’s overall NDT and inspection revenues in 2024.
