Global Borescope Market Growth Analysis Report - Market Size, Share, Forecast Trends and Outlook (2025-2034)

Global Borescope Market Size

The global borescope market size was approximately USD 804.21 million in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of around USD 1246.40 million by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

A borescope refers to a remote visual inspection tool that is inserted into an object, enabling the operator to see the interior of the structure, engine, casting, or some other manufactured device. It has a miniature camera that is attached to a thin, flexible, semi-rigid, or rigid tube. Borescopes are widely used in various sectors, including power generation, industrial, manufacturing, aviation, and aerospace.

• The growing use of the tool in industrial systems and equipment that need non-destructive testing is aiding the borescope market demand. The critical inspections of machinery and components necessitate the use of borescopes, the absence of which can lead to the disassembly of the parts of a plant. This further leads to a rise in the cost of downtime, labour, and lost productivity.

• The borescope market growth is being driven by increasing innovations and technological advancements. The capture of high-quality images by borescopes is being facilitated by newer features such as memory storage, WiFi and LAN ports. The adoption of rechargeable lithium batteries as the energy source also enables their use for longer periods.

• The importance of weld quality is growing with heightened customer expectations. Customers anticipate products and components to exhibit superior quality and avoid unexpected failures. The use of borescopes for inspecting welds can lower costs by detecting defects at the early stages of production and extending the lifespan of the components by correcting them.

Market Share by Type

As per the borescope market analysis, flexible borescopes are widely used to inspect small diameters and challenging areas. They can be used around corners and tight nooks due to their ease of use and control. Meanwhile, a rigid borescope is employed in applications that need straight-line access to the targeted viewing area, such as the manufacturing sector.

It is also used by companies that carry out repetitive inspections where they can mount the scope to a fixed position such as those specialising in metal casting and cylinder bore inspections. Moreover, video borescopes, also known as videoscopes, contain video cameras that are attached to the end of the probe. Videoscopes capture both images and videos that can be viewed on a monitor or screen.

Market Share by Region

North America is anticipated to hold a significant portion of the global borescope market share in the coming years. Non-destructive testing (NDT) is gaining importance in a wide range of industrial sectors. including civil, aeronautical, and systems engineering in the United States. The non-destructive texting techniques enable the examination of the properties of various kinds of structures without damage. The rising construction and infrastructure sectors of the United States and Canada further contribute to the increasing demand for borescopes in the region.
