Testing, Inspection, And Certification Market Worth $499.0 Billion By 2030

Testing, Inspection, And Certification Market Growth & Trends

The global testing, inspection, and certification market size is anticipated to reach USD 499.0 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The incremental deployment rates of testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) systems and solutions can be accredited to the rise in manufacturing activities worldwide. Furthermore, the onset of Industry 5.0 and the rise in connected systems further augments the need to deploy TIC-based technologies in tandem with manufacturing activities.

The need to optimize manufacturing processes and end products has resulted in the manufacturing application segment capturing the highest growth rate of 6.4% over the forecast period. For instance, in January 2022, SGS, a Swiss international business that provides inspection, verification, testing, and certification services, has launched a new Vehicle Over the Air (OTA) performance testing laboratory in Suzhou, China. The lab will assist automotive manufacturers in helping them test, validate, and comply with evolving wireless standards and regulations. It fully integrates beneficial resources in automobile, communication, electronics, and reliability testing to provide commercial customers with technical verification, quality improvement product certification, and technology development services.

The integration of cloud technology with the TIC market is one of the significant market drivers. The need to access data instantly, automate certification, and issue reports on a real-time basis highlights the importance of storing essential TIC-related data in the cloud. Moreover, cybersecurity concerns such as increasing instances of cyberattack and data privacy threats further highlight the importance of a safe cloud architecture to safeguard data from people with malicious intent.

This is expected to help in general data regulation, security certifications, and software testing. For instance, in February 2022, Intertek Group plc, one of the prominent providers in connectivity testing and cybersecurity, established its Acucert, the first ISO/IEC certified cybersecurity testing lab in Mumbai, India. Acucert has significant expertise in IT system and software testing while meeting stringent quality control standards. Further opening a new testing lab would help them promote internationally and nationally.

The gradual acceptance of big data analytics with the TIC-based technology model is also expected to offer an impetus to the TIC market. The adoption of big data analytics technology by service providers is expected to diversify their service offerings, such as data-based services and predictive maintenance data and enable service providers to offer better solutions to their customers.

In September 2021, TÜV SÜD, a safety, security, and sustainability solutions provider, offered wind turbine certification for areas affected by tropical storms. Within the scope of type certification, the company has designed a computer framework to analyze the data of the areas and check compatibility for these regions based on the worldwide IEC 61400 standard. The computer model allows for the simulation of even the most extreme wind conditions in tropical cyclone-prone areas and the use of this simulation to determine if a wind turbine is suited for such places.

Asia Pacific is expected to capture the highest growth rate over the forecast period. Rapid industrialization and rising infrastructure development in Australia, South Korea, and India facilitate deploying proficient TIC solutions. Furthermore, the emerging technology ecosystem in countries such as Japan and China have resulted in several companies outsourcing their software and product development tasks. The ability to gain high-performance products at affordable rates from these countries promotes companies to access TIC solutions and services related to specific needs and requirements, thereby offering an impetus to market growth.

In December 2021, Eurofins Scientific, a global scientific leader in bioanalytical testing and a clinical diagnostic testing leader with Transgenic Inc., announced the acquisition of GeneticLab Co., Ltd., a molecular biology-based testing vendor. This acquisition will assist the company in strengthening its position in the Japanese market. It would further expand the company’s global presence in Asia, specializing in advanced genetic testing.
