India has made substantial investments in building new infrastructure like highways, bridges, railroads, roads, harbors, and power plants. Using NDT (Non-destructive testing) methods, flaws, and defects can be found early on in the production or building process, allowing for prompt fixes or replacements. This preventative method lessens the likelihood of expensive breakdowns, speeds up operations when they do occur, and boosts productivity overall.
Businesses are encouraged to engage in NDT inspections due to the possible cost reductions associated with NDT services. Non-destructive testing services are projected to rise from their 2022 valuation of $18.9 billion at a CAGR of 7.9 percent during the forecast period between 2023 and 2030. Over the projected period, the non-destructive testing market is expected to grow due to an increase in manufacturing activity in both developing and developed countries.
Looking at the opportunities, companies have sprung up to gain profits. Test 2 Build, established in 2020, is one of the leading companies in the sector that endeavors to achieve high-quality standards in delivering precise results in a timely fashion.
The customers in this sector confront a variety of challenges which include the design of the structures notwithstanding long lifespan, quality assurance, and quality control.
