Composites Testing Equipment Market Share Analysis

Composites Testing Equipment Market Share by End-Use Industry Type

The global composites testing market is segmented based on the end-use industry as 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 variant 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 increasing penetration of composites in the structural parts in the automotive industry. Increasing penetration of composites is largely because of implementation of stringent regulations on automakers by governments of many countries regarding the enhancement in the fuel efficiency and reduction in the carbon emissions.

Composites Testing Equipment Market Share by Composite Type

Based on the composite type, the global composites testing equipment market is segmented as 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.

Composites Testing Equipment Market Share by Testing Type

The global composites testing equipment market is segmented based on the testing type as destructive and non-destructive. 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, thermography testing equipment, and others. 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, transportation, to wind energy.

Regional Insights

North America holds the highest share in the global composite testing equipment market, driven by the USA. The region is the manufacturing capital of the advanced composites industry with the presence of all the major players. This region also holds 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 as well as the 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 the 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.

Key Players

General Electric Company, Olympus Corporation, Sonatest Ltd., Mistras Group, Yxlon International GmbH, Zetec, Inc., Ashtead Technology Inc., and Bosello High Technology SRL are the key players of the testing equipment for the composites industry. New product development and collaboration with customers are some of the key strategies adopted by companies to gain a competitive edge over other competitors.
