Vue d'ensemble
Scope of the Report
Aerospace NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) products are essential in the aircraft manufacturing and maintenance industry to ensure the safety and reliability of aerospace structures and components. These products employ various inspection techniques to identify defects or anomalies in materials without causing damage to the inspected parts. One commonly used aerospace NDT product is the ultrasonic testing (UT) equipment. Ultrasonic testing uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into materials and detect internal flaws. This technique can identify defects such as cracks, voids, and delaminations by analyzing the echoes produced when the sound waves encounter material interfaces.
According to the IATA, the total volume of air passenger traffic in 2022 increased by 64.4% compared to 2021. Global passenger traffic for the whole year was 68.5% of pre-pandemic (2019) levels. Total global aviation revenue grew by 43.6% to $727 billion in 2022. In 2022, global airlines were expected to have a net loss of $6.9 billion, significantly better than the net loss of $42 billion in 2021 and $137.7 billion in 2020.
