The Business Research Company's Non Destructive Testing (NDT) In Aerospace And Defense Market Report 2025 – Market Size, Trends, And Global Forecast 2025-2034

LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, August 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- What Is The Estimated Industry Size Of Non Destructive Testing (NDT) In Aerospace And Defense Market?
Recent years have seen significant growth in the market size for non-destructive testing (NDT) in the sectors of aerospace and defense. It's predicted to escalate from a value of $2.29 billion in 2024 to $2.59 billion in 2025, boasting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 13.1%. This considerable growth during the historic period is largely due to factors such as aircraft accidents and malfunctions, the requirement for more lightweight materials, extending the lifespan of traditional fleets, global confrontations and the modernization of the military, along with demands from aerospace Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

In the coming years, the non destructive testing (NDT) market in the aerospace and defense sectors is projected to undergo rapid expansion, with its value expected to reach $4.21 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. This anticipated growth over the forecast period can be linked to increased aircraft production, rising global defense expenditure, a shift towards composite materials, the growth of unmanned aerial systems, strict safety and quality regulation enforcement, and the integration of cyber-physical systems (industry 4.0). Throughout the forecast period, significant trends will include the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning for detecting defects, phased array ultrasonic testing, digital radiography and computed tomography (CT), the use of automated robotic NDT systems, and inspections assisted by augmented reality (AR).

What Are The Major Factors Driving The Non Destructive Testing (NDT) In Aerospace And Defense Global Market Growth?
The increase in defense budgets is projected to fuel the expansion of non-destructive testing (NDT) in the aerospace and defense market. The defense budget denotes the total funds earmarked by a government for the growth and maintenance of its military and defense-related pursuits. The surge in defense budget assignments can be attributed to escalating geopolitical strains and security risks, compelling nations to augment their military prowess, modernize their armaments, and preserve national security in an increasingly volatile global scenario. Non-destructive testing (NDT) in the aerospace and defense industry aids in optimising defense budgets by identifying defects early on without causing harm to parts, thereby curbing expensive malfunctions and reducing the frequency of component replacements. For example, the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), a strategic security research body based in the UK, published a report in February 2025 stating that global defense expenditure climbed to $2.46 trillion in 2024 from $2.24 trillion in the preceding year. Consequently, the surge in defense budgets is fostering the growth of non-destructive testing (NDT) in the aerospace and defense market.

What Are The Prominent Trends In The Non Destructive Testing (NDT) In Aerospace And Defense Market?
Leading businesses in the aerospace and defense sector that specialize in non-destructive testing (NDT) are prioritizing technological advancements, like cutting-edge x-ray inspection techniques, to boost defect identification, increase safety measures, ensure the reliability of structures, and simplify maintenance protocols for crucial aerospace and defense components. Advanced X-ray inspection methods are a forefront non-destructive testing (NDT) solution that employs high-resolution imagery to identify minor structural anomalies thereby contributing to the enhancement of the safety and reliability of aerospace and defense systems. For example, Rad Source Technologies Inc., an American company specializing in x-ray and irradiation solutions, launched the NDT 1000 X-ray Inspection System in February 2024. This system is a compact, portable tool designed to provide real-time, high-resolution images for non-destructive testing in industries such as aerospace, defense, electronics, and automotive. Using a standard 120V outlet, it can penetrate materials like steel up to 0.6 inches in less than a second, giving clear digital images that make defect detection quicker and more accurate. The main aim of this system is to improve on-site inspection capabilities, make maintenance processes more efficient, and enhance overall quality control in the evaluation of critical components.
