Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

Testing, Inspection, and Certification Market size is anticipated to grow from USD 242.76 billion in 2024 to USD 511.48 billion by 2037, reflecting a CAGR of around 5.9% during the forecast period, from 2025 to 2037. Currently in 2025, the industry revenue of testing, inspection, and certification is estimated at USD 252.79 billion.

The testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market is experiencing sustained expansion amid rising regulatory complexity, increased digitization, and growing demand for assurance in safety-critical sectors. TIC services are now becoming important enablers in infrastructure, consumer products, and energy systems as global industries focus on improved product reliability and system compliance. In October 2024, Element Materials Technology acquired ISS Inspection Services to strengthen its industrial testing portfolio across oil & gas and infrastructure sectors.  By integrating ISS capabilities, companies aim to deliver deeper value across complex inspection projects. The shift is a sign of further concentration of TIC businesses on the international level and is indicative of the increasing trend towards greater focus on specialized services in the sector.

Digitalization and industry convergence are the two major trends that are revolutionizing the delivery of TIC services. Modern solutions and laboratory automation systems are essential to address compliance needs in newly emerging areas such as AI, renewable energy, and smart mobility. In June 2024, Element introduced RegNav, an artificial intelligence-based regulatory solution designed to help create safer and more effective medical devices.

Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Global energy transition and infrastructure upgrades: TIC services are gradually becoming popular as the world economy turns to green energy systems and enhanced infrastructures. Today, more and more governments and private sectors require TIC providers to ensure structural integrity, energy performance, and compliance with environmental standards. In January 2025, Kiwa PVEL and Kiwa PI Berlin published a white paper that aimed at outlining the standards of PV module quality to enhance the bankability of solar projects. The paper outlines rigorous testing benchmarks critical for performance assurance in renewable energy systems. Such development demonstrates how the TIC industry is aligning itself with global sustainability goals by offering testing frameworks that directly impact investment viability.
  • Digitization of assurance services and AI integration: The integration of AI and digital technologies is enhancing TIC capabilities across diagnostics, testing, and predictive maintenance. TIC firms are developing AI-based solutions to improve real-time compliance and enhance systems. In July 2024, Bureau Veritas acquired Security Innovation Inc. to expand its cybersecurity and software testing capabilities. This is also in line with testing, inspection, and certification market trends where TIC players are being called upon to provide more bundled solutions in the validation of security. Such acquisitions are evidence of the growing trend towards tech-oriented assurance solutions that protect digital environments.
  • Surging food and consumer product compliance demand: The growth of TIC services in food and consumer sectors is due to increasing global trade and quality standards and consumer safety concerns. Regulatory tightening across geographies fuels localized testing needs and traceability systems. In March 2025, Merieux NutriSciences completed the acquisition of Bureau Veritas’ food testing activities across Japan, Morocco, Southeast Asia, and South Africa. The acquisition enables more localized testing capacity with globally harmonized quality standards. It supports the emerging trend of TIC services in food safety and emphasizes the importance of TIC suppliers in the supply chain.

Challenges

  • Fragmented standards and cross-border compliance complexity: The globalization of TIC business brings a major problem of managing the inconsistent national regulation of the industry. These varying regional certification requirements create obstacles to establishing unified testing protocols, leading to increased compliance costs for multinational clients. This fragmentation of the standards not only complicates the TIC processes but also makes it challenging for business entities to have a smooth flow of operations across the borders, which in turn may affect the efficiency and market entry of businesses operating in the global testing, inspection, and certification market.
  • Talent shortage and specialized skills gap: The rapid advancement of TIC applications, particularly in emerging fields like AI testing, battery validation, and renewable infrastructure, has created a demand for specialized skillsets. However, there is a notable scarcity of talent in areas such as inspection engineering and quality systems testing. This talent shortage is a risk factor for the growth of TIC services as it may hinder the industry’s capacity to satisfy the expanding needs of sectors that require skilled and knowledgeable professionals. Closing these skills gaps is therefore imperative to sustain the TIC sector growth and its ability to adapt to new technology and compliance demands.

Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) Segmentation

Service Type (Testing and Inspection, Certification)

Testing and inspection segment is expected to account for around 73.9% testing, inspection, and certification market share by 2037, fueled by rising safety assurance mandates and infrastructure quality needs. These services act as the first line of defense in product lifecycle validation and compliance across different sectors. In March 2024, Warringtonfire announced the opening of the UK’s largest testing facility dedicated to structural fire safety evaluations. This expansion strengthens testing capacity for façade systems and construction material certifications. Such developments highlight increased regulatory requirements in the built environment sector.

With increasing global standards, testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) firms are increasing capacity to cater to demands in non-destructive testing and evaluation, performance evaluation and material authentication. These functions are useful in high risk areas of operation such as in the aviation, energy and construction industries. Testing and inspection services provide early risk detection and compliance transparency, making them essential to maintaining operational and safety benchmarks in both legacy and new-age industries.

Source (In-House, Outsource)

By 2037, In-house TIC services segment is set to capture over 65.1% testing, inspection, and certification market share, due to internal quality assurance requirements in large-scale manufacturing and process industries. Companies prefer to build internal capacity for mission-critical testing where proprietary systems require customized protocols. In August 2023, Element Materials Technology announced an USD 8 million expansion of its Cincinnati facility to increase testing capacity. Such investment caters for demand in materials validation and compliance within aerospace and manufacturing industries.

In-house services also offer real-time testing benefits and quicker feedback cycles, reducing downtime and boosting process efficiency. As digital twins and AI monitoring become more prominent, internal TIC frameworks offer adaptable and data-based quality systems to companies. This is quite evident in regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, defense, as well as electronics, where real time assurance and security are critical.
