by Brianna Crandall — April 6, 2015—Independent tech-focused global research firm TechNavio has published a new report on the global nondestructive testing (NDT) equipment market, which is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.24 percent from 2014 to 2019.

According to the report, the need to improve the quality and lifespan of aging assets has become a crucial factor that is expected to propel market growth during the forecast period. System failures can be avoided by regularly examining assets, thus enabling early remedial measures, reminds TechNavio.
