The expansion of oil and gas pipelines is anticipated to boost the industrial X-ray tubes market. Oil and gas pipelines, which are underground steel or plastic tubes designed for the transportation and distribution of petroleum products across regions, are equipped with pumps, valves, and control devices. Industrial X-ray tubes play a crucial role in non-destructive testing (NDT) for evaluating and inspecting pipeline properties without compromising the integrity of the original system. For example, in May 2022, the Energy Information Administration reported that the US added approximately 7.44 Bcf/d of new natural gas pipeline in 2021, with an additional 0.43 Bcf/d in new capacity added in Q1 2022. This surge in oil and gas pipeline construction is a key driver for the industrial X-ray tubes market.

The increasing demand in the automotive industry is expected to contribute to the growth of the industrial X-ray tubes market. The automotive industry encompasses various activities related to the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, selling, and maintenance of motor vehicles. Industrial X-ray machines are utilized for non-destructive testing, enabling the examination of materials without causing damage. This method is particularly valuable for inspecting objects that cannot be disassembled or compromised during testing. In May 2023, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association reported a global production of 85.4 million motor vehicles in 2022, reflecting a 5.7% increase from the previous year. Hence, the rising demand in the automotive sector is a significant factor propelling the growth of the industrial X-ray tubes market.

Key players in the industrial X-ray tubes market are focusing on the development of innovative products, including high-resolution X-ray tubes, to enhance profitability. High-resolution X-ray tubes are designed to produce a small focal spot, which is crucial for achieving high-resolution imaging. For example, in January 2023, Scanna-MSC, a UK-based privately owned company specializing in security screening and detection equipment, launched a new series of portable X-ray systems for industrial non-destructive testing (NDT). These systems are engineered to inspect products, equipment, and components without causing any damage. They feature durable, portable digital radiography (DR) systems that are particularly well-suited for applications like inspecting pipe welds and decommissioning munitions. Portable X-ray systems play a vital role in inspecting materials and structures non-destructively and consist of X-ray tubes, generators, and detectors. They are widely utilized across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and energy, to identify issues such as cracks, corrosion, and welding defects. The introduction of innovative high-resolution X-ray tubes is advancing the industrial X-ray market by providing more precise and detailed imaging, thereby improving quality control and reliability in NDT applications.

In July 2023, Nikon Americas Inc., a US-based manufacturer of cameras, microscopes, and related products, acquired Avonix Imaging LLC for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is expected to introduce fresh and innovative products, thereby enhancing the overall value of both organizations. Nikon's acquisition of Avonix Imaging is poised to enhance Nikon's expertise in X-ray digital inspection solutions, provide access to novel products, and strengthen the collaboration between Nikon and Avonix Imaging in delivering cutting-edge X-ray and CT systems and services. Avonix Imaging, a US-based manufacturer of X-ray imaging, industrial computed tomography, and industrial X-ray tubes, aligns with Nikon's strategic vision for advancement in this sector.
