Non-destructive testing (NDT) involves inspection, testing, or evaluation of components, materials, or assemblies. NDT involves examination for disparities in characteristics or discontinuities, primarily without hampering the serviceability of the product or part. Re-usability of an object after inspection with little-to-no effect on operating performance, coupled with the right balance between quality control and cost-effectiveness, positioned NDT as a go-to solution across all end-user verticals. The factors significantly driving the growth of the market include stringent regulations mandating safety standards and rising focus on safety and maintenance of aging infrastructure. Non-destructive testing equipment emerged as an essential par t of every industrial toolbox. Building welded structures or industrial plants without NDT would be synonymous to building without cleaning or measuring or welding. Maintaining aircraft, refineries, or rotating equipment without NDT would be like maintaining without lubrication or checking for corrosion or tightness. In terms of technique, ultrasonic and radiography testing are witnessing incremental innovations aimed at filling gaps in the existing market product portfolio. Within ultrasonic testing, the market for phased array ultrasonic testing is witnessing saturation, while guided wave ultrasonic testing is being dubbed as one of the most significant techniques.

The massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) technology is the most recent iteration of antennas. With the wide range of advantages, such as increased range and 3D beamforming, it is expected that this technology will rapidly expand the adoption rates of this technology, especially in the advanced telecommunication markets, like North America and Europe. However, in the case of much higher demand zones of Asia-Pacific, this technology is still in the testing phase and is limited to the top-end commercial applications only. The ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 propelled the industries in all the sectors to either stop their manufacturing completely or grant work from homes to their employees. This boosted the usage of internet for browsing online media content, increased calling are some of the factors that are putting a burden on the existing networks. Therefore it has become imperative for the players in the telecom industry to look for solutions like MIMO in order to provide uninterrupted services to its consumers. In recent years, the increasing number of mobile devices for commercial use, coupled with the trend of ‘bringing your own device’ (BYOD) to work, created an enormous demand for high-speed internet connections, which is expected to further propel the growth of the market.
