“The TIC market for the consumer goods end-user industry to hold the largest market share by 2022”

Governments have formulated stringent regulations and standards to ensure the quality and safety of products and there is increasing awareness among consumers regarding the quality of consumer goods. These products have become essential in everyday life and are manufactured keeping in mind the regulations specified by government bodies to guarantee product safety. The increasing demand for consumer goods leads to a greater requirement of testing, inspection, and certification services to ensure the product quality and safety.

“Trend of outsourcing TIC to third-party vendors is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period”

The market for outsourced TIC is served by a variety of independent service providers whose primary business activity is providing TIC services. Also, the major industries mainly outsource these services to third-party providers to reduce costs as the increasing regulations make it more costly to conduct these tests in-house.

Thus, vehicle testing would have a strong demand, especially in countries such as China and India. The industrial growth in China and India would also increase the demand for industrial infrastructure and TIC services as industrial plants are built with strict energy efficiency mandates.
