Innovative Business Models

Why

• Traditionally, the NDT equipment market has relied on hardware sales for revenue generation. Today, hardware generates almost 95% of the revenue.
• However, market participants find that hardware-based revenue generation is saturated. As a result, they are turning toward software solutions to add value for customers and increase products' price-performance ratio.
• Hence, developing new business models that are software-centric becomes extremely important to witness higher growth, sustain, and lead the competition.

Analyst Perspective

• NDT equipment companies that generate significant revenue have invested in software and developed a software-centric business model or are currently in the development process.
• However, such initiatives are missing among smaller companies. The analysis suggests that providing customer value and extending hardware capability is possible with software. Hence, market companies across all revenue segments should focus on developing software-focused business models.

Industry Convergence

Why

• Combining precise measurement techniques with non-invasive inspection methods lays the foundation for fully integrated solutions for holistic asset integrity management and quality assurance.
• The interworking of dimensional metrology and NDT with Industry 4.0 technologies, such as cloud computing, big data, AI/ML, digital twin, and robotics, delivers enhanced value to customers.

Analyst Perspective

• Though the integration of the 2 disciplines is in the nascent stage, they are being used across all stages of the product development life cycle.
• Industry consolidation with potential partnerships, as well as acquisitions, is anticipated over the next 2-5 years.
• A holistic and versatile solution, computed tomography (CT) will lead this convergence trend.

Transformative Megatrends

Why

• The growing emphasis on improving worker safety and enhancing inspection efficiency will continue to drive the adoption of digital technologies such as AR/VR, AI/ML, digital twins, and industrial metaverse.

Analyst Perspective

• Industrial metaverse will feature in the digital transformation roadmap of several NDT industry participants over the next 2-3 years.
• Through a metaverse platform, experts from different geographic locations will collaborate.

Competitive Environment

Growth Restraints

• The shortage of skilled technicians will affect the NDT equipment market during the forecast period.
• The high cost of NDT equipment will restrain market growth to a certain extent, especially in the emerging countries of APAC and ROW.

Growth Driver Analysis

• Aging infrastructure is creating an intense need for regular inspection, thereby driving the Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Equipment Market
• NDT denotes the technique used to inspect materials and components to detect and measure defects and deteriorations in their material properties prior to any failure occurring.
• The primary objective of NDT is to guarantee the safe use of engineering structures, as well as to maintain the high quality and performance of products.
• Hence, despite the current economic crisis, the need and demand for NDT will continue as an essential tool for assessing the residual life of assets in several industries, including O&G, power generation, and construction, thereby ensuring overall productivity. Thus, aging infrastructure will drive the NDT equipment market, and its impact will remain high during the forecast period.
