How Is Urban Population Propelling Non-Destructive Testing and Inspection Use?

The Population Division of the U.N. Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) predicts that the global urban population will rise by 2.5 billion by 2050, in comparison to the 2018 population. The 2018 Revision of World Urbanization Prospects reveals that nearly 68% of the world population will reside in urban localities by 2050. As per this report, 90% of this surge will be recorded in Asia and Africa. The rising urban population will result in the large-scale construction of residential and commercial structures globally.

Thus, the increasing construction activities will help the non-destructive testing and inspection market progress during 2021–2030. According to P&S Intelligence, the market generated a revenue of $9 billion in 2020. Construction companies use NDT inspection methods to detect and assist in the repair of corrosion and cracks to avoid any unprecedented damage. The adoption of this testing method helps prevent road or bridge closure or a potential catastrophic failure. Owing to these advantages of NDT and inspection methods, construction firms are using them for infrastructure inspection and structural health monitoring.

In contemporary times, the non-destructive testing and inspection market has been dominated by NDT Global GmbH, Cygnus Instruments Ltd., Fischer Technology Inc., Bosello High Technology srl, T.D. Williamson Inc., Sonatest, Eddyfi NDT Inc., Magnaflux Corporation, SGS S.A., Ashtead Technology, Nikon Corporation, MISTRAS Group Inc., Olympus Corporation, and General Electric Company. In recent years, these companies have engaged in the introduction of novel products and services. For example, in March 2021, Nikon Corporation introduced a new CT/X-ray system, which is equipped with half-turn CT, rotating target 2.0, auto filament control, local calibration, and quick-change features. 

In the coming years, the Asia-Pacific region will emerge as a significant user of NDT and inspection services, equipment, and methods. This will be on account of the improving infrastructure sector and increasing automation in the manufacturing industry of India and China. The aerospace and defense, oil and gas, and construction industries use these testing methods to ensure work quality and employee safety, as NDT helps protect staff and equipment and assists enterprises in following the regulations and requirements. 

Therefore, the rising construction activities and soaring infrastructure investments will accelerate the use of NDT and inspection methods in the forthcoming years.

Why Oxygen-Free Copper Market Opportunities Galore in APAC?

Image
 The major factors in the global oxygen-free copper market are skyrocketing demand for oxygen-free copper wires in the electronics & electrical industry and electric vehicles (EVs). This surging demand is owing to their ease of welding, renowned creep resistance, high impact strength, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and high ductility. The market is predicted to grow significantly in the coming years. The outbreak of COVID-19 had disrupted the entire circular economy, significantly reducing this market’s sales because of the ruptured logistical network, shutdown of electronic & electrical product factories, and reduced EV production. Within the grade system, the oxygen-free copper market can be bifurcated into oxygen-free electronic and oxygen-free categories. The latter bifurcation generated higher revenue in the market in the past, not only in terms of value but also in terms of volume. The category will continue to exhibit this trend in the coming years as well. T

How Will Rapid Industrialization Drive Hydraulic Equipment Demand?

Image
The Government of India completed the construction of 2,734 projects under the Smart City Mission till 2021. The government is currently working on the construction of 100 smart cities, 6 new ports and 14 coastal economic zones (CEZs). Likewise, Infrastructure Australia (IA) approved the construction of 44 new infrastructure projects in February 2021. The rising construction activities, on account of the booming population and mounting investments being made in the construction sector, will propel the need for hydraulic equipment in the coming years. Additionally, the rapid industrialization in developing countries will drive the hydraulic equipment market growth during 2021–2030. According to P&S Intelligence, the market generated a revenue of $37 billion in 2020. For instance, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) aims to offer institutional support to special economic zones (SEZs) and industrial and technology parks in Brazil. The UNIDO will help Brazil

Sales of Hexamine Set to Shoot Up in Coming Years

Image
The mushrooming usage of hexamine in several industries such as rubber, pharmaceutical, explosives, and fuels is a major factor responsible for its soaring sales across the world. Moreover, the booming population in several countries is pushing up the demand for medical and pharmaceutical products. This is due to the fact that the surging population is causing poverty, which is, in turn, propelling the incidence of various diseases such as neurological disorders and urinary tract infections. Apart from the aforementioned factors, the rising requirement for hexamine in the plastic industry is also contributing toward the surging sales of the material throughout the world. It is used in plastic synthesis and heavily required in the packaging and construction industries, on account of these industries being prominent end users of plastics. With the surging population level, the number of construction and infrastructural development projects is increasing rapidly in many countries around t
