The global X-ray inspection systems technology market industry has been divided into four segments based on imaging technique, dimension, vertical, and region.
The industrial X-ray inspection systems technology based on imaging technique is segmented into film-based imaging and digital imaging. Among these two, digital imaging holds the largest market share for the rising use of systems based on digital imaging techniques. These systems are used for detecting the damages like cracks, saves time for the image process, and 3D visualization ability is helping for the growth of the x-ray inspection market in this segment
The global X-ray inspection systems technology based on dimension is classified into 2D and 3D. During the forecast period, 3D X-ray inspection systems technology is predicted to grow at a significant CAGR for the usage of 3D X-ray inspection systems in a wide range of industries, in the manufacturing of semiconductors to automotive and especially plays a major role in quality control. These are also used to diagnose issues like metal, foreign materials, bridging, and construction defects in 3D planes.
Based on vertical, the global X-ray inspection systems technology is bifurcated into several verticals like automotive, oil & gas, aerospace, power & infrastructure, government, manufacturing, and many more. Out of these segments, the oil & gas vertical accounts for the largest X-ray inspection systems market share for its efficient operation in delivering solutions for the pipes, boilers, pressure vessels, and valves inspection. X-ray inspection systems are having applications in both upstream and downstream segments of the oil and gas wells.
Regionally, the global X-ray inspection systems technology segment is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the world. During the review period, the Asia-Pacific region is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR for the continuous demand for cost-effective and fast-processing X-ray inspection systems mostly from oil & gas, and power generation verticals.
Region-wise, the global X-ray inspection systems technology market is segmented into Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, and the rest of the world. Asia-Pacific region is predicted to grow at a significant CAGR for the constant demand for fast-processing and cost-effective X-ray inspection systems highly from oil & gas, and power generation verticals. The advanced technologies in industrial X-ray products, rising consumer awareness regarding the benefits of products like quality and ergonomics are rising the demand for the market.
Moreover, growing government initiatives to invest in infrastructure development projects in this region are increasing the demand for the market. The food industry and power generation sector that needs highly advanced systems for detection techniques may demand the growth of the market. However, North America holds the major market share due to the presence of major key players, usage of advanced technologies, high adoption rate among several industries.
The prominent key players in the X-ray inspection systems technology market trends are the following:
At Munich’s Productronica exhibition in September 2023, YXLON International will unveil the Cheetah EVO and Cougar EVO series of its new X-ray inspection systems. In advanced electronics, where technology is moving at an increasingly fast pace, YXLON has found that a single X-ray system does not provide optimum solutions for customers anymore. Therefore, they have developed customized systems for SMT, semiconductor, and laboratory applications, which are designed to meet specific needs and overcome unique challenges faced by each sector. Keith Bryant, who serves as Global Director of Electronics Sales at YXLON, notes: “No more compromises need to be made by clients.”
Videray Technologies Inc., the world leader in handheld X-ray inspection equipment, announced on February 2024 the release of their patented pending design PXT; it is the industry's first handheld 140kV transmission X-ray generator. This design enhances safety measures taken during use as well as making inspections more powerful, thus adding convenience, which was among top priorities according to feedback given by Videray customers over time from all corners worldwide but also opening up entirely new usage scenarios across many industries heretofore unimaginable even within this field itself due largely because people thought such things couldn't happen before now. With our MTP+ detectors paired together, one can see through the steel up to thirty millimeters thickness while still maintaining resolution levels greater than a hundred micrometers per pixel, enabling operators to carry out detailed checks easily.
In October 2023, Antares Vision Group launched an X-ray scanner system designed specifically for cereals, rice, legumes, coffee, and sugar, among other food ingredients and raw materials. The XR Bulk from Antares Vision Group uses a unique design incorporating vertical piping that allows for smooth product flow during inspection while still ensuring full coverage against all types of contaminants that fall under this category. Previously, bulk products were inspected with either vertical metal detectors, which had limited detection capabilities, or belt systems that disturbed their natural flow- XR Bulk is the first model on the market able to combine handling through a vertical pipe with x-ray power needed for effective detection.
One of the key market players in X-ray inspection systems, HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK GMBH launched a new pulsed X-ray technology that provides maximum detection capability in a limited space.
A prominent market player in advanced detection solutions, Peco InspX Corporation developed a new solution to effectively detect vent tube fragments.
