X Ray Machine Market

The X ray machine market for tire inspection is projected to grow from USD 254.5 million in 2025 to USD 299.5 million by 2032, at a CAGR of 2.4%.

Stricter quality and safety standards in intelligent tire manufacturing are accelerating the adoption of high-speed and 3D X ray inspection systems, particularly for validating sensor placement, bonding integrity, and internal structural stability. Machines capable of delivering more than 150 scans per second are becoming essential for meeting these verification requirements. Market growth is further supported by new tire manufacturing facilities integrating in-line inspection from inception, expanding laboratory installations for R&D and failure analysis, replacing legacy systems with AI-enabled digital platforms, and increasing use of X ray inspection in aftermarket and retreading operations to assess carcass integrity before reuse.

Major players in the X ray machine market for tire inspection are AMETEK Micro-Poise (US), Technip Energies N.V. (France), Comet (Germany), MESNAC (China), and Nikon Corporation Industrial Solutions (Japan). These players have been adopting various strategies to sustain their positions in the market. Major strategies adopted are product launches, deals, and expansions. These strategies have been analyzed to understand the positions of these companies in the market. AMETEK is expanding software-enabled analytics and tailoring solutions for global OEMs. For instance, Ametek offers CTXS Plus, a fully autonomous X-ray inspection system with multi-axis robot tire handling and Automatic Defect Recognition (ADR) software. It can handle tires with bead diameters of 13” to 30”. While Technip embeds inspection within digital plants and emphasizes system integration over standalone products through its TBR 13-27” is an X-ray inspection machine with automatic defect recognition developed by Technip Energies Inspection, Monitoring, and Robotics Teams. It performs in-line inspections of truck and bus radial tires. Comet continues component-level innovation to support high-resolution industrial CT.

MESNAC bundles inspection with production equipment while expanding into international markets. For instance, in June 2025, MESNAC and NETZSCH signed a strategic cooperation agreement, marking the beginning of in-depth collaboration in areas such as technological R&D and global market expansion. The collaboration aims to combine NETZSCH's advanced technology in high-end equipment manufacturing with Zhejiang MESNAC's expertise in intelligent turnkey solutions to jointly drive industrial innovation.

Ametek Micro Poise operates under the copyright name Micro Poise, a business unit of AMETEK Inc., with headquarters in the US and serving tire manufacturers globally. The company is active across segments such as tire uniformity testing, tire geometry measurement, force and moment testing, balancing systems, quality assurance equipment, and tire inspection and testing systems used in manufacturing and quality control environments. Micro Poise provides products, including tire uniformity machines, geometry and runout measurement systems, balance testers, and force and moment testing equipment, which are used to evaluate tire structural consistency, dimensional accuracy, and performance characteristics. These systems are designed for in-line and end-of-line inspection, supporting the detection of uniformity issues, dimensional deviations, and performance-related defects before tires are released to the market. In April 2025, AMETEK opened a new Customer Solutions Center in Beijing, China, designed to provide localized testing capabilities, interactive product demonstrations, and a collaborative environment for engaging with technical experts and advancing solutions across applications such as renewable energy, semiconductors, optics and photonics, and industrial measurement technologies. 

Technip Energies N.V. is an engineering and technology company. The company is active across several segments. including energy project engineering, sustainable chemistry, LNG and hydrogen solutions, carbon capture, and industrial inspection, monitoring, and automation technologies, and industrial inspection and non-destructive testing systems. It provides X ray and computed tomography-based inspection solutions through its inspection and robotics activities, supporting applications such as tire inspection, advanced manufacturing quality control, and safety-critical component inspection. These solutions are designed to deliver high-resolution internal imaging, automated defect recognition, and integration with production and monitoring systems. In February 2025, Technip Energies merged its subsidiaries, CyXplus and Cybernetix, to consolidate inspection, monitoring, and robotics capabilities and strengthen technology development and delivery efficiency.
