The NDT services market is poised for growth driven by the increasing utilization of renewable energy resources. This form of energy, derived from rapidly regenerating natural sources, relies on NDT for various purposes, like ultrasonic testing in wind turbine examination. India, as reported by Invest India in 2022, experienced substantial year-on-year growth of 9.83% in renewable energy additions, reinforcing the pivotal role of renewable energy in propelling the NDT services market.

Anticipated growth in the NDT services market is attributed to the surge in oil and gas projects. These comprehensive endeavors encompass exploration, extraction, and processing of these resources, necessitating regular inspections and quality assurance provided by NDT services. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicts technical advancements driving increased per well recoveries and shale gas output. This sector's growth is underscored by estimates showing a rise in natural gas percentage from 34% to 39% by 2050, propelled by heightened drilling activities, thereby fueling demand for NDT services.

Technological advancements stand as a prominent trend shaping the NDT services market landscape. Industry leaders are focusing on innovation to maintain their market positions. For instance, in October 2022, ICR Integrity, a UK-based player in NDT services, introduced INSONO, an innovative technique for inspecting composite repairs on metallic components. This technology ensures repair integrity and detects defects within composite materials and steel substrates, assuring operators of application quality and long-term performance.

Leading companies within the NDT services sector are prioritizing innovation with products like the Eddyview II portable eddy current flaw detector. This product, incorporating standard eddy current testing and Eddy Current Array (ECA) capabilities, was launched in October 2022 by United Western Technologies in the US. Featuring an 8-inch touch screen display, gesture-controlled adjustments for key parameters, and compatibility with a range of probes including eddy current array probes, it targets various industrial applications requiring high-quality flaw detection.

In May 2023, Previan Technologies, a Canadian industrial technology group, acquired Sensor Networks Inc. (SNI), a US-based provider specializing in sensing tools for inspecting safety-critical components. This strategic acquisition, undisclosed in amount, aims to integrate SNI solutions into Previan's Eddyfi Technologies unit, augmenting expertise and bolstering NDT Global's capabilities. The addition of SNI's high-end technology is expected to enhance productivity and remote monitoring capabilities within critical industries.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) encompasses a range of inspection methods allowing inspectors to assess materials, systems, or components without causing lasting alterations. These techniques are vital for examining characteristics, detecting variations, welding faults, or discontinuities within materials, structures, or systems without compromising their original state.

The primary NDT services encompass inspection, equipment rental, training, and calibration. Inspection services enable inspectors to gather crucial data without causing irreversible changes to materials or systems. This involves evaluating the structural integrity of subsurface infrastructure during trenchless rehabilitation and maintenance. Various testing techniques, including visual inspection, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, eddy current, ultrasonic, radiographic, acoustic emission, and terahertz imaging, are incorporated into these services. NDT services find application across multiple industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, aerospace, government infrastructure, public safety, automotive, power generation, among others.
