Material testing equipment is generally referred to as analysis of various mechanical properties of materials such as hardness, thickness, moisture, corrosion, and others. Material testing is usually a destructive type of testing used for finding out properties of materials before its use in manufacturing a particular product. Growing importance of manufacturing quality products is driving the growth of the market.

The Middle East and Africa Material Testing Equipment Market Segments Size & Growth:

The Middle East and Africa material testing equipment market is valued at $XX Billion in 2017 and is expected to reach $XX Billion by 2024 at a CAGR of XX%. Key growth factors influencing the market growth involves growing importance of manufacturing quality products, economic benefits, growing demand from composite and plastic and plastic processing industries and investments made by the different organisational bodies are the factors favouring the growth of the market. However, high initial cost of installation and wastage of resources in destructive testing with political and economic uncertainties are hampering the market growth.

The Middle East and Africa Material Testing Equipment Market Segments Share:

The Middle East and Africa material testing equipment market share are categorised into type, material, end user, and geography. Based on Type, the market is segmented into mechanical testing and non-destructive testing in which mechanical testing is further classified into universal testing machines, servo-hydraulic testing machines, hardness testing equipment and impact testing equipment. Universal testing machines are holding to the major share in the market and accounted for over 56% of the market share. UTM’s perform tests such as bending, compression, tension and some other properties of material and augmented demand for liquid fuel worldwide propelling the demand for the pipeline infrastructure, driving the growth of the material testing equipment market. Non-destructive testing is classified into flaw detectors, hardness & strength testers, thickness gauges and others (moisture, corrosion, and others). It is testing of objects for their flaws and imperfections. NDT methods are expected to witness major technological innovations over the forecast period.

The material is segmented into plastics, metal, rubber & elastomer and ceramics & composites. These materials have their properties and are used according to their functionalities. Ceramics and composites are expected to be the fastest growing material segment of material testing equipment market owing to the high demand from aerospace & defence, automotive and construction industries. Due to its advanced material properties, these materials have great demand in these industries.

End users are automotive, construction, educational institutes, aerospace & defence, medical devices, power and others. Among which power is projected to be the fastest growing segment attributed to increasing investments in the wind energy sector by emerging economies. Educational institutions are holding the largest share in the market owing to the increasing R&D activities and collaboration with industries for better product developments.
