India Material Testing market is
anticipated to register a high CAGR during the forecast period, 2025-2029. Material testing is the process of measuring the
physical, structural, and mechanical properties of various materials and
components. It is used to examine whether metals, ceramics, and polymers are in
optimal condition by evaluating their behaviour under various conditions. Mechanical
testing, thermal testing, resistance testing against corrosion, radiation, and
biological deterioration, and non-destructive testing are the four types of
material testing. These tests are mostly performed on universal, servo-hydraulic,
hardness, and impact test equipment and are used for manufacturing, quality
control, research, and laboratory purposes. Numerous technological
breakthroughs, such as the development of testing equipment with multi-stage
testing capabilities and picture-video recording functions, are boosting market
expansion. Additional factors, including increased product usage by the medical
sector to assess material integrity, surface morphology, and adhesion
capacities, as well as substantial research and development (R&D) efforts,
are expected to drive the market further, during the forecast period.
The market is further driven
by rising demand for improved power quality, increased adoption of renewable
energy sources, increasing number of power plants and the modernization of
existing power infrastructure are likely to boost market expansion. The market
is highly fragmented, with numerous local and global firms. Product innovation,
partnerships, and collaborations are just a few of the primary techniques used
by these firms to improve their market position.
Growth of the automotive and
aerospace industries drive the market of the material testing services.
The growth of the automotive
and aerospace industries in India has also increased the demand for material
testing services.
With technological
advancements such as electric vehicles (EVs), autonomous driving, and
lightweight materials, the automotive industry is constantly evolving. Material
testing is essential for ensuring the longevity, crashworthiness, and overall
performance of automotive components. Materials such as metals, composites,
plastics, and adhesives are tested for flexible strength, fatigue resistance,
impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal properties. The demand for
material testing services is increasing as the automotive industry continues to
innovate and introduce new materials and designs. The automotive industry
requires the testing of various components and parts used in the manufacturing
process. With the focus on making India a manufacturing hub, the demand for
material testing services is expected to increase further.
The aerospace industry
requires materials that are exceptionally strong, reliable, and resistant to
extreme conditions. To ensure the safety and performance of aircraft components
and structures, they are rigorously tested. Material testing services are used
to assess the properties of materials such as strength, stiffness, heat
resistance, fatigue resistance, and non-destructive testing (NDT) to detect any
defects or flaws. The aerospace industry is expanding in response to rising
demand for air travel, creating a greater demand for material testing services.
