The global ultrasonic non-destructive test (NDT) equipment market was impacted severely by the economic recession of 2009 to 2010. Since then, the market has done well to maintain a stable growth rate.

This market engineering study discusses the current state of the total global ultrasonic NDT equipment market; it provides analyses for the following segments: thickness gauges, digital flaw detectors, phased array flaw detectors, and test machines. Regions covered include North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and ROW. The study also gives an overview of the current trends impacting this market, the size of the market, its future potential, and its competitive environment. The base year is 2012, and the forecast period is 2013 to 2017.

Key Questions This Study Will Answer

• Is the ultrasonic NDT equipment market growing, how long will it continue to grow, and at what rate?
• What are the strategic growth regions and the factors driving and restraining these markets?
• How is the competition in the market structured? What is the competitive environment for individual product segments?
• Which end-user industry segments will offer growth opportunities in the next 5 years?
• Are the products/services offered today meeting customer needs or is additional development needed?
• Which product segments offer the highest growth opportunities, both in terms of revenue and volume sales?
  

Summary of Key Findings

• In this market, year-over-year unit sales vary considerably, and the market is quite dependent on general economic conditions.
• Equipment manufacturers are moving toward low- end phased array flaw detectors that provide basic functionalities.
• Because of maturing technology, customers have placed extra emphasis on equipment features and software capabilities.
• High growth regions include regions in ROW, such as the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America (especially Brazil).
• A lack of skilled technicians, especially in the phased array ultrasonic testing segment, means that equipment must be easy to use.
