*The testing segment to hold the largest share during the forecast period*

Testing services hold the largest share in the Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) market, primarily due to their critical role in ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and quality assurance across various industries. These services are essential for verifying the safety, quality, and reliability of products and processes, ranging from consumer goods to industrial equipment. As regulatory requirements become more stringent and consumer expectations rise, the demand for testing services continues to grow, driving their dominance in the TIC market.

*In-house sourcing segment to record largest market share during the forecast period*

The dominance of the in-house sourcing segment in the market share is attributed to its suitability for critical applications, particularly in industries like the public sector and mining, which favor internal testing procedures over outsourced ones. In-house testing affords firms complete control over their processes and facilities, leveraging their core business expertise.

Establishing in-house capabilities demands investments in biotechnology, testing equipment, and skilled personnel. Around 60% of testing, inspection, and certification services are conducted internally, notably in sectors such as life sciences, utilities, and public administration. For example, Intertek undertakes internal testing, inspection, and certification for major aerospace firms like Boeing, Airbus, and GE Aviation, ensuring adherence to industry standards with cutting-edge equipment and expertise.

*The medical & life sciences is likely to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period*

The highest growth in the test, inspection, and certification market is anticipated in the medical and life sciences sector in the foreseeable future. As medical technology evolves, there's a heightened demand for TIC services to ensure patient safety. Testing, inspection, and certification are imperative for various medical devices such as implants, diagnostic tools, ophthalmic, orthopedic, dental, and vascular devices to meet international standards, enabling global market access for manufacturers.

Evolving regulations, particularly in the medical device domain, compel manufacturers to embrace TIC services for compliance. Key services in this sector encompass biocompatibility, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), clinical research, and wireless/telemedicine testing, all aimed at guaranteeing device quality and safety. Accreditation from regulatory bodies is a prerequisite for TIC service providers to issue certifications for medical devices to their clients.

The testing, inspection, and certification market is dominated by a few globally established players such as SGS SA (Switzerland), Bureau Veritas (France), Intertek Group plc (UK), Eurofins Scientific (Luxembourg), DEKRA (Germany), TUV SUD (Germany), DNV GL (Norway), TUV RHEINLAND (Germany), Applus+ (Spain), ALS (Australia), TUV NORD Group (Germany), Lloyd's Register Group Services Limited (UK), MISTRAS Group (USA), ASTM (US), Element Materials Technology (UK), and UL LLC (US).
