Eddy
current testing or ECT is a testing technique that has its roots in
electromagnetism. Making use of non-destructive testing, it is used in
non-destructive testing in a bid to characterize surface and detect
sub-surface flaws in conductive materials.
The
main applications of ECT include tubing inspections and surface
inspection. This sensitive technique can locate tight cracks of various
types of surface. Surface inspection can be done on both
non-ferromagnetic and ferromagnetic materials. The application of tubing
inspection, however, is confined to non-ferromagnetic materials.
The
factors that are driving this market are advancements in eddy testing
technologies. The development in this technology has encouraged
customers to adopt this technology. Increasing infrastructural
development and safety regulations by government in emerging economies
are responsible for the growth of the market.
However,
since ECT is electrical in nature, it’s usage is limited to conductive
material. There are also physical limits pertaining to the generation of
eddy currents and depth of penetration.

The
market is segmented by technique, service, end-use and by region. By
technique, the market is divided into conventional eddy current, remote
field testing, alternating current field, eddy current array and others.
By service, the market is segmented into inspection services, equipment
rental services, calibration services, training services. The market is
also segmented by end-use industry namely oil and gas, manufacturing,
aerospace, automotive, power generation and others.
Conventional
eddy market accounts for a major market share and the segment is likely
to steer the market during the forecast period of 2016-2024.
Conventional eddy market is reliable, versatile and fast method of
inspection. It is very efficient in detection of defect and for
measurement of thickness of conductive materials.
The
manufacturing segment is forecasted to lead the end-user industrial
category with the highest growth rate during the forecast period of
2016-2024. Safety awareness and policies of government are likely to
drive the ECT market during this period. Growing demand of electronic
equipment and consumer durable goods is expected to drive the demand for
inspection.
Geographically,
the market is segmented into Americas, Asia Pacific (APAC), Europe,
Middle East and America (EMEA) and Latin America. North America has been
leading the market and accounts for the biggest market share. North
America is anticipated to grow rapidly during the forecast period of
2016-2024. The end-user industry of oil and gas held the largest of the
market share in North America. Maintenance of gas and oil pipelines and
other refinery equipment requires inspection and thus ECT is widely used
in this category. The power generation industry is another sector in
North America where ECT technologies are widely used. The US accounted
for the biggest market share in this geographical segment and is
expected to lead throughout the forecast period.
Europe
also accounts for a substantial market share in this market and
occupies the second largest market share of ECT market. The region is
expected to grow well over the forecast period of 2016-2024. Owing to
the increasing demand for consumer goods in the APAC region, the region
is set to experience a rapid. The market of Middle East and Africa is
also expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. The
regions of Latin America largely remain untapped though the demand of
various types of consumer electronics are increasing day by day in these
regions.
The
global market of high voltage ECT is fragmented with many large and
well-established players occupying a strong position. Also, many new
players are also trying to enter the high voltage ECT market owing to
the expected high growth of the market.
Some
of the major players of the high voltage ECT market are Mistras Group
Inc. (U.S.),Magnetic Analysis Corporation Inc. (USA) ,Ashtead Technology
Ltd. (U.K.), Ether NDE Limited (U.K.), Zetec Inc. (U.S.), Olympus
Corporation Fidgeon Limited (U.K.), General Electric Company (U.S.), Ibg
NDT System Corporation (U.S.), Eddyfi NDT Inc. (Canada), (Japan), TUV
Rheinland AG (Germany) amongst many others.
