Rising Adoption of Automated and Digital Testing Solutions
Material testing equipment market in India is witnessing a notable shift towards automated and digitally integrated testing systems. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, defense and construction are advancing their manufacturing practices; hence, the need for fast, accurate, and repeatable material test methods has become compelling. Automated testing machines using real-time data acquisition, remote monitoring, and software analytics are increasingly getting deployed so as to minimize human error and improve operational efficiency. For instance, in August 2024, ABB’s AquaMaster, deployed across 15 Indian cities, revolutionized water flow measurement by enhancing water flow measurement with 4G connectivity, aiding leak detection, reducing non-revenue water, and enabling remote utility management with high precision. These systems enable faster testing cycles, streamlined documentation, and seamless integration with quality management platforms, which are essential in highly regulated environments. Indian manufacturers are also aligning with global testing standards, driving demand for sophisticated equipment capable of complying with ISO, ASTM, and BIS protocols. In addition, digital transformation initiatives, supported by government programs like “Digital India” and “Make in India,” are further accelerating the adoption of intelligent testing infrastructure. With growing R&D activities and quality assurance becoming central to competitiveness, industries are investing in next-generation material testing solutions that offer enhanced accuracy, lifecycle testing, and multi-material capabilities. This trend is expected to drive long-term modernization across India's testing laboratories, academic institutions, and production facilities.
Expansion of Infrastructure and Construction Activities
India’s robust infrastructure growth is a key driver fueling demand for advanced material testing equipment across the construction and civil engineering sectors. With large-scale investments in highways, metro rail, smart cities, and renewable energy projects, there is a growing need to ensure the structural integrity and durability of building materials such as concrete, steel, asphalt, and composites. Government initiatives such as the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), Bharatmala, and PM Gati Shakti are contributing to a significant increase in construction activity, requiring stringent material quality assessments at every stage. Construction firms and quality control laboratories are investing in compression testing machines, universal testing machines (UTMs), non-destructive testing (NDT) devices, and other field-specific equipment to meet regulatory and performance standards. For instance, in October 2024, TUV India Pvt. Ltd. launched an NABL-accredited Advanced Chemical and Material Testing Lab in Noida, enhancing testing services for automotive, electronics, industrial, and consumer sectors to meet global standards. Moreover, the emphasis on sustainability and environmental compliance is prompting the use of recycled and alternative materials, which also require comprehensive testing before deployment. The increasing involvement of international contractors and consultants in Indian infrastructure projects is introducing global best practices in material testing, further driving equipment upgrades. As infrastructure continues to form the backbone of India’s economic development, the material testing equipment market is expected to grow in parallel, driven by safety, quality, and compliance imperatives.
