Top Impacting Factors
Increase in Applications of NDT in Oil & Gas and Nuclear Power Sectors
Increase in the number of oil & gas and power generation projects, particularly in the nuclear energy sector in the U.S., has significantly increased the adoption of RT system for non-destructive testing, as it plays a vital role in efficient functioning of these industries. Non-destructive testing equipment are used in oil and gas operations of critical assets such as tanks, vessels, heat exchangers & condensers, piping, and rotating equipment to identify potential damage. In addition, increase in the number of failures in oil & gas equipment and tools, especially pipes, fuel the need for non-destructive testing equipment in this industry. Moreover RT systems are used in nuclear power plants for safe and complete testing of critical parts of nuclear power plants without modification of the plant.
Stringent Safety Government Regulations
Stringent product usage specifications, quality control requirements, and government safety regulations drive the market. Government of various countries have taken initiatives to avoid mishaps in the past resulting due to leakage in nuclear reactors, pipeline explosions, and refinery blasts. The U.S. Government has mandated non-destructive testing equipment manufacturers to periodically engage in inspection activities. In addition, The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is the recognized European organization for planning, drafting, and implementing European Standards across all areas of economic activity with exception in electro-technology and telecommunication. Therefore, the impact of this factor is expected to be high in the near future.
Lack of Skilled and Qualified Professionals
Lack of skilled technicians is a major restraint for the adoption of RT system in the NDT market. Technicians required for the inspection process are certified, but do not possess the essential skills to perform inspection with satisfactory levels of quality. In addition, most training institutes are not updated with the latest systems, and technicians are trained on outdated products that have become obsolete. This is a major hindrance for the growth of the RT system market, as it restricts the adoption of advanced products and technologies. Non-destructive testing system manufacturers have tapped on this opportunity, and have set-up their own training centers or academies. For instance, system manufacturers, such as Olympus, Carestream, and GE Measurement and Control Solutions have established training centers to train people on using all types of equipment. Increase in the number of training institutes is expected to neutralize the effects of this factor of the market growth in future.

Analyst Review
Technological advancements facilitates more reliable and accurate inspection data. Advanced technologies in RT system includes computed tomography (CT) system and automatic X-ray inspection (AXI) system, which provide superior ways of presenting data and generate inspection reports of advanced systems to consumers. For instance, automatic optical inspection is used by electronics component manufacturers for detecting flaws in printed circuit boards. However, several printed circuit board (PCB) manufactures use various technologies, such as ball grid array (BGA) integrated circuits, and chip scale packages (CSPs) for testing in cases wherein solder connections are not visible. Hence, the advent of advanced automated testing system is expected to drive the market in near future.
Owing to the technological shift from traditional inspection systems to advanced systems, various industries are replacing the traditional inspection systems with automated devices. In addition, increase in demand for high accuracy and durable inspection devices fuel the market growth. While these inspection system finds its maximum use in aerospace & defense and oil & gas applications.
The RT system delivers benefits such as the ability to provide a digital file format image that can be stored and processed using image processing software, the number of software components in radiography system is on an increase greatly, and continuous efforts and developments are in progress with regard to image analyzing and processing software. As a result of the move toward the digitizing of the radiography equipment market, there has been a distinct move toward developing software-driven equipment. Software has become an integral and critical part of radiography system, as it ensures ease of use for operators. This aids customers to interfere with their production process, and retune or change parameters to avoid recurrence of final defect, and thereby, fuel the demand of Industrial RT systems for non-destructive testing.
