For more than a hundred years, industrial radiography in Europe has changed from film-based methods to more advanced digital and computed radiography systems. Strong oversight from national governments and the EU has led to widespread use, especially in the aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, and power generation industries. By 2024, almost two-thirds of inspection facilities had switched to digital systems. About 40% of new installations had AI-powered defect recognition built in. Portable, battery-powered, and wireless radiography units, as well as cloud-based workflows, are being used more for inspections in the field and at sea. Sustainability goals also drive innovation. For example, manufacturers are working to make detectors that use less radiation, are made of materials that can be recycled, and produce less chemical waste, all in line with EU safety and environmental goals.
Digital transformation, AI-driven automation, and the rise of mobile inspection solutions, especially for pipelines, marine, and infrastructure, are some of the most important trends in the market. Increasingly aerospace and additive manufacturing companies are using computed tomography for volumetric analysis. There is a moderate amount of competition, with global OEMs like Comet/YXLON, Dürr NDT, GE, and Fujifilm at the top, along with new companies like X RIS. Companies in Europe are focusing on R&D, new products, partnerships, and making services more local. Imaging resolution, portability, AI-enabled analytics, and following strict safety and environmental rules all help to set products apart from each other. This makes the market landscape dynamic but stable.
