Market Overview of Global Industrial X-ray Film market:
According to our latest research, the global Industrial X-ray Film market looks promising in the next 5 years. As of 2022, the global Industrial X-ray Film market was estimated at USD 261.39 million, and it's anticipated to reach USD 361.63 million in 2028, with a CAGR of 5.56% during the forecast years.
X-ray film is a gelatin-covered polyester base. An emulsion coating both sides of the film contains ting silver halide crystals that are sensitive to such things as visible light X-rays, gamma rays, heat, moisture and pressure. The composition of x-ray film is similar to that of a photographic film. Industrial X-ray Film is used in welding, casting parts or composite pieces inspection and so on.
Positive Impacts
The emergence of the new crown epidemic has greatly promoted the development of e-commerce. Many companies have adopted the combination of online sales and offline sales to carry out business, so they will expand the sales channels of products. In addition, the new crown epidemic has greatly restricted people's travel activities and increased people's time to surf the Internet, so the online marketing of products can achieve better results.
Negative Impacts
The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted business and economic activities globally. It is expected to have a short-term impact on the Industrial X-ray Film market to a certain extent. With several countries across the globe announcing nationwide lockdowns and temporary closures of various industries, production and manufacturing have been severely affected. Stopping production not only aggravates the shortage of funds for small and medium-sized enterprises, but also reduces the solvency of enterprises, which may affect production and sales. Some enterprises have difficulties in operation and even go bankrupt. The epidemic situation has seriously affected the logistics and transportation, and the transportation of raw materials is difficult. The industrial chain of small and medium-sized enterprises is imperfect and fragile. Trade barriers have further impacted the demand-supply gap. Companies operating in the Industrial X-ray Film market have suspended non-essential visits/activities until the COVID-19 outbreak is resolved.
With the gradual control of the epidemic, some factories began to resume operation. However, enterprises need to protect the life and health of employees while operating production, such as purchasing masks, disinfectants and other epidemic prevention materials, disinfecting the working environment before and after production, and testing the body temperature of employees every day to ensure their health. These measures will increase production costs and affect the development of enterprises.
Nondestructive testing requirements
Industrial X-ray film is used in nondestructive testing (NDT). Nondestructive testing (NDT) is the process of inspecting, testing, or evaluating materials, components or assemblies for discontinuities, or differences in characteristics without destroying the serviceability of the part or system. Aerospace, defense, oil and gas, power generation and automotive are leading sectors that use NDT techniques to ensure the quality of products. These sectors use the NDT test to determine the physical properties of materials such as impact resistance, ductility, yield, ultimate tensile strength, fracture toughness, and fatigue strength. Industries such as automotive and aerospace, with their high image quality requirements are among the important end-users of high-resolution industrial X-ray inspection systems. The deep sea oil and gas industry basically relies on dependable equipment for carrying out safe and uninterrupted operations. NDT equipment therefore has achieved critical importance in the oil & gas industry, while creating opportunities for Industrial X-ray film.
The development of digital technology
Digital Radiography system is composed of explorer, impression processor, picture display and so on. Is to use the X-ray signal transmitted through the object is acquired by the explorer directly constitute a digital impression, the digital impression data transmission to the computer display on the display, combined with the digital impression workstation can be directly post-processing.
The main applications of Digital Radiography X-ray detector in the field of industrial nondestructive testing include casting nondestructive testing, circuit board testing, semiconductor packaging testing, lithium battery testing, food safety testing, etc. At present, the global industrial Digital Radiography X-ray detectors account for a relatively small share of the entire market, and X-ray films are still mainly used in the field and other industrial field fields. However, with the development of technology and the decrease of the cost of Digital Radiography X-ray detector, it will be a great challenge to the manufacturers of NetEase products.
