Market Trends of Europe Industrial Computed Tomography Industry

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Europe Industrial Computed Tomography Market according to our research experts:

Aerospace to Witness Significant Adoption

  • The European Aeronautics industry develops and manufactures civil and military aircraft, helicopters, drones, aero-engines, and other systems and equipment. In Europe, industrial computed tomography is redefining the boundaries of inspection in the aerospace industry. In aerospace, computed tomography can be used to inspect smaller to medium-sized components such as turbine blades, aluminum castings, and tube welds. Thus the demand for computed tomography has been increasing significantly.
  • In Europe, leading aerospace manufacturers across the globe now consider computed tomography (CT) scanning to be an essential part of the non-destructive testing (NDT) toolkit. Industrial CT can penetrate almost every material, from superalloys to lead to aluminum, providing hidden details that could be found by cutting and destroying finished parts.
  • Industrial CT can penetrate almost every material, from superalloys to lead, revealing hidden details that previously could only be found by cutting and destroying finished parts. The solution, widely used in Europe, is advanced software that uses computed tomography scan data to create a three-dimensional virtual volume of a part, containing complete detailed information about its geometry, both surface, and interior.
  • In Europe, over time, computed tomography became more mainstream throughout the aerospace sector, ensuring its presence in factory testing. For instance, in February 2022, YXLON International, with its presence in Europe, introduced a new computed tomography system to the global market. The YXLON UX50 computed tomography system has been developed specifically for operation in industrial environments. The development and launch of new computed tomography equipment are increasing the adoption rate even further.

United Kingdom is Expected to Witness Significant Market Growth

  • Industrial computed tomography is primarily used by motor manufacturers across the United Kingdom for metrology, porosities and inclusions analysis, retro engineering, assembly verification, and many other applications linked to the automotive quality process. Therefore, the demand for industrial computed tomography has been increasing significantly.
  • Moreover, the society of motor manufacturers and traders stated that the automotive industry is a vital part of the United Kingdom economy and integral to supporting the delivery of the agendas for leveling up, net zero, advancing global Britain, and the plan for growth. In 2021, according to the society, automotive-related manufacturing contributed EUR 67.0 billion in turnover and EUR 4.0 billion in value added to the United Kingdom economy and typically invested around EUR 3.0 billion each year in R&D.
  • In the United Kingdom, with the advent of computed tomography use in the automotive industry, car manufacturers could perform without the time-consuming dismantling process to analyze the in-tact vehicle. Failure Investigations and computed tomography scanning provide an ability to inspect internal features of complex components that have undergone fatigue or mechanical testing without changing failure conditions. These inspections help detect the failures and, once seen, allow the smooth flow of operations.
  • Furthermore, computed tomography has been used extensively in the oil and gas industry across the United Kingdom for imaging, quantifying properties, and determining the distribution of fluids in porous rocks. These factors are boosting the demand for industrial computed tomography.
  • For instance, the UK oil and gas industry has come to an agreement (North Sea Transition Deal) with the UK Government to manage the green energy transition. In March 2021, the north sea transition deal aimed to support workers, businesses, and the supply chain through the transition to cleaner energy. The deal will commit joint investment from the sector and Government of EUR 14.0 - 16.0 billion (USD 19.0 - 22.0 billion) by 2030 in new technologies. Thus the requirement for Industrial computed tomography will boom in the market.
