A bend testing machine, also known as a universal testing machine, is mainly used to determine the ductility, resistance, bend strength, and fracture strength of various materials. These machines are also utilized to test metal products such as iron and steel.

Manufacturers are persistently striving to introduce innovative bend-testing machines to help end-use industries test composites, ceramics, wood, and plastic. The ability of these machines to measure the overall modules of strength and rigidity of a product is expected to boost the market.

Increasing concerns about the quality of material for evaluating its durability and sustainability are projected to drive the market. Further, high demand for the components and materials made of steel and iron in the construction industry is another crucial factor that might push the global bend testing machine market size in the upcoming decade.

How is the Construction Sector Pushing the Bend Testing Machine Market?

The emergence of smart factories and Industry 4.0 in both developed and developing countries is moving testing processes from laboratories to production floors. Thus, the installation rate of bend testing machines is likely to surge at a significant pace in a wide range of end-use industries worldwide.

The increasing inclination of construction companies toward the utilization of prefabricated modular building blocks from conventional ones is another vital factor that would foster growth in the global market. Additionally, the launch of technologically advanced products such as high-volume fly ash concrete, high-performance concrete, condensed silica fume, durable concrete, and mineral admixtures is set to accelerate the bend testing machine market growth.

Which Factors May Obstruct the Bend Testing Machine Market?

Improper placement of testing samples can lead to the generation of inaccurate results. Thus, operating a bend testing machine might require highly skilled employees. Operators should also know the technical specifications of these testing machines.

Not knowing about the load cell capacity of these machines can result in errors in terms of quality tests. Besides, demand for bend testing machines may get hampered in the assessment period on the back of improper tightening of grips. Slippage of the sample can occur if the grips are not properly tightened.
