Quality Control to Be a Key Driver for the NDT Equipment Market21 March 2006
Quality control is a necessary evil and is a very important factor that accelerates the growth of the NDT equipment market. Tight industry specification of the products and stringent quality control standards set by the manufacturers spur the need to perform testing. This has created plenty of opportunities for NDT equipment manufacturers. The drive, quest and need to inspect components for quality purposes will continue to dictate the growth of the NDT equipment market.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.testandmeasurement.frost.com ), World Nondestructive Test Equipment Market, reveals that the market earned revenues of $843 million in 2005 and estimates to reach $1,248.8 million by 2012.
If you are interested in a virtual brochure, which provides manufacturers, end users, and other industry participants with an overview of the latest analysis of the World Nondestructive Test Equipment Market then send an e-mail to Tori Foster -- Corporate Communications at tori.foster@frost.com with the following information: your full name, company name, title, telephone number, e-mail address, city, state and country. We will send you the information via e-mail upon receipt of the above information.
Inspection of various components in the manufacturing industries is the main function of the quality control department. NDT proves to be the most viable technique for inspection, as it does not alter the physical properties of the component under inspection. As industry specifications, standards become more stringent, and quality gets more pronounced, the need to perform NDT is expected to increase and will essentially drive growth.
"Outsourcing tends to be the boon and the bane of the NDT equipment market as small and medium companies outsource and contract their inspection requirements to small labs on account of cost cutting measures," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst S. Vidyasankar. "While this may prove beneficial in the short term, it does impact the NDT equipment market significantly. The competition from used and refurbished equipment also limits the end-users from investing in new assets and this also considerably affects the demand for new NDT equipment."
Cost cutting seems to be the most important strategy adopted by many companies and this primarily happens at the expense of quality. Difficult market conditions have forced these companies to look at cost as an issue and it gets more pronounced in the prevailing price competitive market scenario. This has shown the way toward outsourcing of the entire quality control activities to small inspection labs and this continues to restrain the growth of the market.
"The need to change the market perception regarding NDT as a cost becomes imperative," says Vidyasankar. "Failure to perform quality control on aircrafts or rails on account of cost cutting measures could have a detrimental and catastrophic effect on human safety and life. Elevating the awareness levels and educating the end-users about the need and the potential of NDT techniques would lead to better and improved adoption of these techniques."
The focus on meeting the stringent quality control standards provides plenty of opportunities for NDT equipment manufacturers; however on account of cost cutting measures end-users outsource their quality control activities to small labs. The education of the end-users on the potential of various NDT methods will yield better results and open up lucrative market opportunities.
