The global leak test equipment market was valued at US$ 377.0 Mn in 2016 and is projected to expand at a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% from 2018 to 2026, according to a new report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR) titled “Leak Test Equipment Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026”. The report suggests that expansion of the global automotive, medical & pharmaceutical, and packaging industries along with increasingly stringent regulations pertaining to leakages is likely to spur the demand for leak test equipment during the forecast period (2018 to 2026).
Rising cost of helium, used as a tracer gas in leak test equipment, to restrain the global market
Leak testing procedures are essential to ensure superior quality of the product along with safety of consumer. However, a large number of industry verticals are facing problems due to the rising cost of helium gas, as helium supply is facing a shortage worldwide. Helium is a naturally-occurring gas that is utilized for numerous purposes across various fields. A significant number of industries rely on helium leak testing methods, as helium is a highly popular tracer gas in leak testing production.
However, the demand for helium is exceeding the available supply, due to the higher usage of helium across various industries, which has been raising the cost of helium in recent years. Several companies are presently using alternative equipment that employ air leak testing method, as this type of leak test equipment utilizes affordable hydrogen gas, rather than costly helium. However, for some companies, altering a procedure that is established can be a difficult task, as wrong decision pertaining to the leak test method can compromise the quality of the products.
