Services NDT and Inspection Market

The services NDT and inspection market is projected to reach USD 17.31 billion by 2030 from USD 11.41 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2025 to 2030. The growing trend of prioritizing safety, compliance with regulatory requirements, and maintaining the integrity of organisation's assets across oil & gas, power generation, aerospace, transportation & manufacturing segments, will drive the demand for NDT & inspection services. The increasing failure risks associated with aging infrastructure and complex material systems are prompting operators to adopt more frequent, specialized inspection programs and long-term service contracts. As a result, many industries are moving towards advanced forms of ultrasonic technology, digital radiography, improved robotics, and data-driven analytics for making decisions to utilise these types of services. The increasing requirement for technically skilled service technicians and the need to assess critical components using very highly accurate methods will lead service providers to develop greater roles in operations reliability and life cycle management.
