The pandemic of COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on the testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) industry. Due to adoption of lockdowns by various national governments, manufacturing and industrial activity have decreased in numerous regional geographies. However, because of the increasing need for healthcare services and related items, such as medical supplies, the healthcare segment saw considerable TIC practices. People's increasing need for safe and adequate quality food items prompted the consumer goods sector to embrace TIC techniques during the epidemic. The inspection category is expected to provide the industry with a lot of possibilities. This is due to an increase in supply chain activities in nations like Switzerland, Japan, Germany, and Norway, which allows for the implementation of inspection techniques. Furthermore, the consumer products industry contributes to the inspection segment's segmental expansion. National governments and international authorities have imposed stringent rules on the quality of cosmetics, electrical and electronic products, sports and at leisure wear, and textiles and footwear, allowing these industries to deploy an effective inspection ecosystem.
In the worldwide certification TIC category, the infrastructure and construction application segment had the biggest revenue share. This might be ascribed to the infrastructure and construction sector's substantial usage of certified materials and technology. Regional governments' ongoing attempts to improve transit safety measures contribute to the transportation segment's market growth. The U.S. Transit Safety and Security Division, for example, offer certificates that aid with market penetration.
In 2017, testing services accounted for more than 65 percent of the global market for testing, inspection, and certification. The testing services are used to assess the services and goods' performance and features. The expansion of this market can be attributed to customers' growing worries about the safety and quality of items. Market titans are being compelled to protect their brand by maintaining product quality and adhering to government rules and standards as aware consumerism grows. In addition, the implementation of a number of regulatory criteria for product quality and safety is boosting market growth.
The market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World, according to Geographical Analysis. Testing, inspection, and certification are predicted to have the biggest market share in North America. The presence of major TIC players and the emergence of several start-ups in the region, rising demand for organic and processed foods, organizations’ increasing focus on meeting regulatory and compliance requirements, early adoption of the latest technologies, and government investments in technological advancement all contribute to the region's large share of the regional market. The Asia-Pacific region, on the other hand, is expected to grow quickly throughout the forecast period. APAC market growth is expected to be driven by factors such as growing consumer electronics demand, improved consumer awareness of quality, and an increase in the number of TIC start-ups supported by government funding.
