Materials Testing Services in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

On the safe side: A rise in imported goods has increased demand for safety standards tests

Materials Testing Services in Australia

The Materials Testing Services industry tests a range of items and substances used to construct, produce, manufacture and wholesale many outputs, such as machinery, equipment, property, infrastructure, textiles and final goods. These items include metals, polymers, concrete, asphalt, ores, metals and chemicals, and consumer products. For example, industry operators may test soils for particle size and compaction for the construction sector, or bricks and concrete for durability and consistency. As Australia has an established and sophisticated regulatory system, the industry's testing services are an essential requirement for many suppliers of goods, property and infrastructure. Suppliers that do not test their products risk releasing a subpar product, which could lead to product recalls or legal action. As a result, companies that must adhere to strict health and safety regulations generally support demand for industry services.

Industry firms test materials for a variety of applications and downstream industries. Materials testing includes analysing metals, composites, ceramics, polymers, concrete, geomaterials, textiles, and consumer goods.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
