Industrial Radiography Market Report 2026

The industrial radiography market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.35 billion in 2025 to $1.47 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial safety regulations, growth in infrastructure projects, demand for quality assurance, expansion of oil and gas pipelines, aerospace manufacturing growth.

The industrial radiography market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.03 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation of inspection processes, adoption of computed tomography, growth in renewable energy projects, digital transformation in manufacturing, demand for predictive maintenance. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of digital radiography, expansion of non destructive testing applications, integration of ai based image analysis, shift from film to computed radiography, focus on inspection accuracy and safety.

The expansion of the energy and infrastructure sectors is expected to drive the growth of the industrial radiography market in the coming years. These sectors involve the development, maintenance, and management of essential systems such as power generation, transmission, distribution, transportation, and construction that support economic growth and societal well-being. Growth in energy and infrastructure is being fueled by increasing investments in clean energy and modern grids, driven by the global transition toward sustainability. Industrial radiography contributes to these sectors by providing nondestructive testing (NDT) and inspection services that ensure the safety, quality, and integrity of critical infrastructure components, thereby improving operational efficiency and reducing risks. For example, in July 2025, according to the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based national statistical authority, government spending on infrastructure rose in 2024 to £28.9 billion (US$ 38.3 billion) in current prices, approximately 2.2% higher than the previous year. Hence, the growth of the energy and infrastructure sectors is propelling the industrial radiography market.

Leading companies in the industrial radiography market are focusing on innovative products such as advanced X-ray computed tomography (CT) systems to offer efficient and versatile inspection capabilities. An X-ray CT system combines X-rays and computational algorithms to produce detailed cross-sectional images of objects or materials for thorough inspection and analysis. For instance, in April 2025, Nikon Corporation, a Japan-based optics and photographic equipment manufacturer, launched the VOXLS 20 C 225, a cutting-edge X-ray CT system designed to deliver exceptional inspection volume within a compact footprint. This system features a dual-source configuration, allowing seamless switching between high-flux and high-resolution X-ray targets to boost both productivity and image clarity. Its durable construction, including a granite base and precision motors, ensures reliable and repeatable measurements, making it ideal for high-end quality control across various industries.

In February 2024, Pinnacle X-Ray Solutions, LLC, a Georgia-based provider of nondestructive testing and inspection systems, acquired Willick Engineering Co., Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Pinnacle’s product and service portfolio, expand its presence on the US West Coast, and strengthen its national position within the industrial radiography market. Willick Engineering Co., Inc. is a US-based provider specializing in nondestructive testing X-ray systems.
