About Material Testing Equipment

Material testing covers a wide range of application and materials that include metals, concrete, composites, and ceramics. Material testing is primarily used to determine the physical properties of materials such as tensile strength, torsion, and elasticity. This process can be carried out through four types of equipment: hardness testing machines (HTMs), impact testing machines (ITMs), servo hydraulic testing machines (SHTMs), and universal testing machines. Each equipment serves a different purpose and involves testing materials for specific physical properties.
End-users of material testing equipment include construction, automobile, and aerospace industries, and heavy industry equipment such as mining excavators. The market for these end-users, especially construction and aerospace, is promising as the governments of developing economies such as India and Brazil are encouraging FDI for infrastructure development. Though the ongoing slowdown in the Chinese economy will affect the market in the latter half of the forecast period, it is likely to revive from the crisis and register a stable growth.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global material testing equipment market to grow at a CAGR of 3.84% during the period 2016-2020.
