Brinell Hardness Tester Market Key Profiles, Driver, Outlook & Competitive Landscape To 2026
Global Brinell hardness
tester market was valued at US$ 70.0 Mn in 2018, up from US$ 67.5 Mn in 2017.
By 2027, the market is projected to reach US$ 104.3 Mn, exhibiting a CAGR of
4.6% over the forecast period (2019–2027). Brinell hardness tester is used to
determine hardness of the material. Most commonly it is used to test materials
that have a coarse or rough structure which is hard to be tested by using
another test method.
Other Applications
segment held dominant position in the market in 2018
Others segment held the
dominant position in the global market and is expected to retain its dominance
over the forecast period. The aerospace and automotive sectors are increasingly
focused on product development and quality control. Producing fasteners for the
aerospace and automotive industries requires high focus on quality and material
selection, in order to meet high-performance expectations. Hardness testing is
often the best approach to ensure that components perform satisfactorily in
their intended applications. In the automotive industry, Brinell hardness
tester performs various hardness tests such as metal tensile tests for
aluminum, stainless steel, a variety of deep-drawn sheets, and determination of
the shear strength of brake linings and rim testing. For instance, Hegewald
& Peschke Company offers various hardness testers, which are specifically
designed for the automotive sector.
Key players in the
market are focused on adopting product acquisition strategies, in order to
enhance their market share. For instance, in March 2018, Phoenix Testlab GmbH
acquired a universal testing machine, Type Inspekt 10 kN from Hegewald &
Peschke, to equip its test laboratories. This universal testing machine is
versatile and can be used for a wide range of tests on different components
that are mainly used in the automotive sector. These tests include, cable
strands (mainly electric switch) and start push-button elements.
The aerospace industry
requires the highest standard of equipment and consumables to ensure
repeatability and reproducibility of results. This in turn helps the aerospace
industry to ensure that the chances of critical failures are vanishingly small,
while maintaining efficiencies in both the design as well as production. The
aerospace mechanical testing portfolio includes tensile strength and elongation
testing, compression testing, impact testing, fracture toughness testing,
stress rupture, fatigue testing, hardness testing, abrasion and wear testing,
bend testing, pressure testing, shear testing, and torque testing. Moreover,
aerospace industry relies on innovative materials to improve the aircraft’s
performance, weight, and strength. Beyond material innovations, proper and
thorough testing is required to assure that the new materials can withstand
rigorous operational use over an extended period of time in harsh environments.
Therefore, several vendors in the market are focused on investing and
developing new products to expand their product portfolio. For instance, in May
2017, R-TECH Materials invested in The Zwick Roell Group’s latest composites
testing technology, 250kN Zwick Universal Testing Machine, to aid its rapidly
growing aerospace testing business. This 250kN Zwick Universal Testing Machine
is expected to help R-TECH to carry out liquid, humidity, or temperature
pre-conditioning of samples, which are essential for the aerospace sector.
These factors are expected to contribute to growth of the global Brinell
hardness testers market during forecast period.
Asia Pacific held the
dominant position in the Global Brinell hardness tester market in 2017
Asia Pacific Brinell
hardness tester market generated revenue of US$ 25.88 Mn in 2017. By 2027, the
market is projected to reach US$ 40.99 Mn with a CAGR of 4.9% over the forecast
period. Emerging economies in Asia Pacific such as ASEAN and India are
estimated to be the opportunistic countries with huge market potential during
the forecast period. Large scale manufacturing as well as industrial production
in China is expected to drive demand for Brinell hardness testers in the country.
For instance, as per WMR’s analysis, in 2016, China was the largest market in
the global industrial output with contribution of around US$ 4,566 Bn.
Moreover, vendors recognize the importance of this region, particularly in
India, and are working towards penetrating this market by strengthening their
sales and distribution networks. According to Worldwide Market Reports, Asia
Pacific region is one of the biggest market for Brinell hardness testers and
equipment, owing to presence of key players such as Mitutoyo, Zwick Roell
Group, FINE Group, Akash Industries, and Struers. Therefore, these factors are
expected to aid in growth of the Brinell hardness testers market over the
forecast period in the region. Moreover, growing infrastructure development and
growing construction industry in emerging economies boost the adoption of
hardness testing equipment. LAMEA Brinell hardness tester market is
projected to exhibit the second highest CAGR over the forecast period.
