Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global automotive testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market was valued at $16.7 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow from $19.3 billion in 2021 to $28.5 billion in 2028, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.75% during the 2021-2028 period.


The COVID-19 pandemic delivered an unprecedented and staggering negative demand shock to the automotive TIC market across all regions in 2020. Despite 15.5% growth in 2020 versus average 2017-2019 year-over-year growth, the market contracted amid the pandemic. The projected 5.75% CAGR from 2021-2028 reflects a return to pre-pandemic growth trajectories driven by demand recovery as pandemic impacts recede.


Automotive certification relates to certifying automobiles or specific components as per the requirements of numerous statutory regulating organizations. Automotive testing and certification are critical to achieve regulatory requirements. Here, these services help raise production standards by testing, inspecting, and certifying products according to legislation worldwide. They assure that commodities are safe, dependable, sustainable, and high quality.


The growing number of occurrences of component failure in autos resulted in a rise in the use of TIC. Component failures cost the organization a significant amount of money and consumer discontent. Furthermore, the industry's key vendors' challenges of maintaining the quality of their vehicles have created new prospects for the market. For instance, in March 2021, Jaguar Land Rover reported that more than 100,000 sales are affected annually owing to quality difficulties, resulting in a negative reputation. The company intends to address the quality issue with a new business strategy.


Lockdowns and Restrictions due to COVID-19 to Hamper Market Growth


COVID-19 has posed significant economic and healthcare difficulties to the world. The disease's rapid spread had a huge influence on the global automotive sector, resulting in a drop in vehicle demand. The COVID-19 pandemic has spread to multiple countries and caused a global economic downturn. Strict precautions are taken to limit the coronavirus significantly, which impacted the market landscape.


Manufacturing units worldwide have been shut down, and vehicle sales have plummeted due to the coronavirus's spread. Volkswagen, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, BMW, PSA Group, Rolls-Royce, Ducati, and Tesla are among the global automotive firms that have halted production due to COVID-19 outbreak. With economic and industrial activity essentially halted, a significant demand-side impact is projected, resulting in a dramatic decrease in car sales volumes. As this expansion is directly tied to automobile production, the scenario is projected to impact the market.


COVID-19, on the other hand, is hastening the digitalization of the automotive TIC sector. Automotive TIC businesses use digital software systems to conduct audits, damage assessments, and certifications. For example, Bureau Veritas has developed customized digital tools to facilitate remote operations for various industries. Hence, though COVID-19 posed a challenge to the growth of this market, it also provided new opportunities.


LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Digitization to Set a Positive Trend for Market Growth


The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the market's digitalization trend, with some of the world's largest corporations investing in TIC software solutions. Furthermore, government authorities accept remote testing, which aids in the market's expansion. The German KBA (Kraftfahrtbundesamt), the Irish NSAI (National Standards Authority of Ireland), the Dutch RDW (Rijksdienst voor het Wegverkeer), and the Luxembourgish SNCH (Société Nationale de Certification et d'Homologation) all accept TUV SUD's remote TIC services for automobiles.


Furthermore, periodic technical inspection (PTI) is a law enforced by several governments, including the U.S. and Germany to ensure that vehicles on the road are in good technical condition and comply with safety and pollution regulations. The country's transportation department inspects passenger and commercial motor vehicles to ensure that all parts and components are in excellent operating order to improve traffic safety. As a result of COVID-19, most PTI was completed using emerging digital technologies such as smart sensors, cloud, and data analytics. As a result, the market in the region will rise as more countries mandate PTI.


DRIVING FACTORS


Rising Focus of Governments for Imposition of Strict Regulatory Standards on Automotive Industry to Drive Market Growth


Various regulatory rules concerning passenger safety and environmental concerns (pollution, emission levels, and noise) apply to the global automotive sector. These regulations/standards directly impact the design of vehicle components. By law, automakers must include safety measures such as airbags and seat belts in their vehicles. Major regulatory organizations employ tariffs and other trade barriers to punish and deter firms that violate pollution and safety standards. This factor forces automakers to design fuel-efficient vehicles with lower emissions systems, such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems, turbochargers, and catalytic converters, while also including safety features such as electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS). Hence, due to strict regulations implemented by the governments globally, the demand for these services is expected to boom during the forecast period.


Increasing Penetration of Internet of Things (IoT)-based Technology to Fuel Market Growth


The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected computing devices that exchange data for executing a task without requiring human interaction. Testing and inspection of the software powering the smart digital systems will become as vital as hardware testing & inspection as the linked gadgets, mobile payments, and connected autos are becoming more prevalent. For instance, AsiaInspection, a quality control and compliance firm, performs product inspections, laboratory testing, and supplier audit programs. AsiaInspection's customer interface has been digitized such that the inspection is completed within 48 hours after making an appointment, and a thorough report is provided online the same day.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Varying Regulations/Standards Across Regions to Restrain Market Growth


Distinct regional norms and standards are expected to create challenges to product acceptability worldwide as trade and businesses become more globalized. This factor leads to local and international standard inconsistencies and stifling market expansion. Discrepancies in tax rates result from differences in regulatory requirements across different regions, resulting in additional expenditures for businesses (handle tax-related issues to hiring local staff). Local laws apply to TIC firms, and they must follow the regulations and conventions of the countries in which they operate. Therefore, this may limit their efficiency.
