NDT and Inspection Companies

The NDT and inspection market is projected to reach USD 22.34 billion by 2030 from USD 14.99 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period.

The growth of the non-destructive testing (NDT) and inspection market is primarily driven by increasing emphasis on asset integrity, safety, and regulatory compliance across industries such as oil & gas, aerospace, automotive, and power generation. Stringent safety standards from organizations like ASME, ASTM, and ISO are compelling industries to adopt advanced NDT techniques, including ultrasonic, radiographic, and eddy-current testing, to detect flaws without compromising component integrity. Rising infrastructure development, aging industrial assets, and the demand for predictive maintenance are further accelerating the adoption of automated and digital NDT solutions. The integration of technologies such as AI, robotics, machine vision, and digital twins is enhancing defect detection accuracy, enabling real-time monitoring, and reducing downtime. Additionally, the growing shift towards renewable energy and the proliferation of high-performance materials like composites are creating new opportunities for advanced inspection methods. Together, these factors are fostering consistent growth in both developed and emerging markets.
