Computed tomography (CT) is evolving into an important nondestructive testing (NDT) option for quality control of manufactured goods because of its ability to provide 3-dimensional and subsurface or internal views for inspection. Additive manufacturing is creating more demand for industrial CT systems as the automotive, aerospace and defense, and medical device industries use the method (also known as 3D printing) to produce small and midsized components. CT systems can analyze structural integrity, powder and material characterization, and dimensional quality across all phases of product development. Among all systems used for inspection in additive manufacturing, Frost & Sullivan expects industrial CT to witness the highest growth in the next few years.

Despite the unique advantages that industrial CT systems offer in development and manufacturing, however, scanning speeds and the high cost of CT scanners hamper equipment adoption. Market participants are focusing on growth opportunities stemming from higher resolution, the flexibility to scan multiple parts and materials, and higher throughput, with research and development activities centering on X-ray source, X-ray tube, rotational stage/manipulators, detectors, software-based features, and form factor to accelerate clients’ return on investment.

Industrial CT systems are more technologically complex than other NDT and dimensional metrology solutions. The generation and direction of X-rays, capture of rays on detectors, and conversion of 2D images to 3D require highly skilled personnel and large investments, which makes market entry tough for new companies.

The Frost Radar™ reveals the market positioning of companies in an industry using their Growth and Innovation scores as highlighted in the Frost Radar™ methodology. The document presents competitive profiles on each of the companies in the Frost Radar™ based on their strengths, opportunities, and a small discussion on their positioning. Frost & Sullivan analyzes hundreds of companies in an industry and benchmarks them across 10 criteria on the Frost Radar™, where the leading companies in the industry are then positioned.

Growth Index

Growth Index (GI) is a measure of a company’s growth performance and track record, along with its ability to develop and execute a fully aligned growth strategy and vision; a robust growth pipeline system; and effective market, competitor, and end-user focused sales and marketing strategies.

  • Market Share (previous 3 years)
    This is a comparison of a company’s market share relative to its competitors in a given market space for the previous 3 years.
  • Revenue Growth (previous 3 years)
    This is a look at a company’s revenue growth rate for the previous 3 years in the market/industry/category that forms the context for the given Frost Radar™.
  • Growth Pipeline
    This is an evaluation of the strength and leverage of a company’s growth pipeline system to continuously capture, analyze, and prioritize its universe of growth opportunities.
  • Vision and Strategy
    This is an assessment of how well a company’s growth strategy is aligned with its vision. Are the investments that a company is making in new products and markets consistent with the stated vision?
  • Sales and Marketing
    This is a measure of the effectiveness of a company’s sales and marketing efforts in helping it drive demand and achieve its growth objectives.

Innovation Index

Innovation Index (II) is a measure of a company’s ability to develop products/ services/ solutions (with a clear understanding of disruptive Mega Trends) that are globally applicable, are able to evolve and expand to serve multiple markets and are aligned to customers’ changing needs.

  • INNOVATION SCALABILITY
    This determines whether an organization’s innovations are globally scalable and applicable in both developing and mature markets, and also in adjacent and non-adjacent industry verticals.
  • RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
    This is a measure of the efficacy of a company’s R&D strategy, as determined by the size of its R&D investment and how it feeds the innovation pipeline.
  • PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
    This is a measure of a company’s product portfolio, focusing on the relative contribution of new products to its annual revenue.
  • MEGATRENDS LEVERAGE
    This is an assessment of a company’s proactive leverage of evolving, long-term opportunities and new business models, as the foundation of its innovation pipeline.
  • CUSTOMER ALIGNMENT
    This evaluates the applicability of a company’s products/services/solutions to current and potential customers, as well as how its innovation strategy is influenced by evolving customer needs.
