By End-Use Industry Type

The market is segmented into aerospace & defense, transportation, building & construction, wind energy, marine, and others. The aerospace & defense is expected to remain the most dominant segment of testing equipment in the composites industry over the next five years. Increasing production rates of the key commercial and regional aircraft, such as B737, B787, A350XWB, A320, and Bombardier C Series; development of new aircraft or variants of existing programs, such as B737max, A320neo, B777x, and A330 neo; introduction of stringent regulations; and increasing penetration of composites are the major drivers of the market.

Transportation is estimated to experience the highest growth during the forecast period, driven by the increasing penetration of composites in the structural parts in the automotive industry. The increasing penetration of composites is largely because of the implementation of stringent regulations on automakers by governments of many countries regarding the enhancement in fuel efficiency and reduction in carbon emissions.

By Composite Type

The market is segmented into polymer matrix composites, ceramic matrix composites, and metal matrix composites. Polymer matrix composite generates the highest demand for testing equipment and is expected to remain the largest composite type over the next five years, driven by the dominance of polymer matrix composites in various end-use industries.

By Testing Type

The market is segmented as destructive and non-destructive testing. Destructive testing equipment is further segmented into impact testing, static testing, dynamic testing, and others. Similarly, non-destructive testing equipment is further segmented into radiography testing equipment, shearography testing equipment, ultrasonic inspection equipment, visual inspection equipment, eddy-current testing equipment, and thermography testing equipment. Non-destructive testing equipment is expected to remain the most dominant over the next five years, driven by its higher usage in a wide array of end-use industries ranging from aerospace & defense, and transportation, to wind energy.

Regional Analysis

The composites testing equipment market is broken down geographically into areas like North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). North America, driven by the USA, holds the largest share of the global composite testing equipment market. The region is the manufacturing capital of the advanced composites industry with the presence of all the major players. This region also holds a healthy share in the other composite markets including wind energy, transportation, building & construction, and marine. The continuous shift of automobile manufacturing plants to Mexico is likely to create a strong demand for composites and testing equipment.

Asia-Pacific is projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, driven by China and India. Development of indigenous commercial, regional, and military aircraft, such as COMAC C919, ARJ21, and Mitsubishi MRJ; commencement of assembly plants of major commercial aircraft, such as A320 in China; the highest wind turbine installation; and increasing penetration of composites in the transportation industry are some of the major growth drivers of the region.
