Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) Market

Government agencies in different countries have made certification testing and inspection mandatory to ensure items are safe and high-quality. To meet regulatory standards, consumer products must pass quality and safety tests conducted by an independent laboratory. Increasingly strict TIC laws and regulations that manufacturers worldwide must follow to ensure the safety of people and the environment, many manufacturers are using TIC services. The outsourcing of TIC services to external service providers is a long-standing business practice adopted by many manufacturers of products and components to ensure compliance with national and international quality and safety standards, as well as to reduce recovery and restoration costs and production efficiency. Outsourcing enables companies to allocate more resources to strengthening their core business processes, reducing operational costs, and providing faster and better services. Around 59% of companies use outsourcing to reduce their total costs, which allows for greater efficiency in production and processes, which contributes to an improvement in the company’s net profit. Another reason for the growth of the TIC industry is the strict TIC requirements by the governments for food and consumer goods.

In addition, the growing sensitivity of various governments to a cleaner environment, rules and regulations, beneficial initiatives, healthcare, and automotive industries, and the rapid adoption of digital technologies are expected to radically transform the testing, inspection, and certification market in the coming years. However, with the globalization of businesses, various local regulations and standards are likely to create barriers to product acceptance on a global scale. It leads to disputes between local and international standards and restricts market growth.

Market Dynamics

Consumer awareness plays a vital role in implementing products' quality and safety through various means, including social media, labeling, and nutritional facts. Modern-day consumers are progressively becoming aware of food-related issues, such as contaminants, allergens, physiological reactions, and effects of processed and stored food. The rising number of health-conscious consumers and increasing awareness about healthy and safe food products fuel the demand for TIC services in the food & beverage industry. Stringent regulations imposed by the government for food quality and safety concerns draw the attention of major players in the TIC market to formulate new and effective food testing and certification standards. Some of the most prominent TIC services offered by major players are food allergen testing, nutrition label testing, ISO 22000 Food Safety Management Certification, BSI Catering Food Safety Certification, Food Contaminant Testing, and Food Microbiology Testing, among others.

Drastically changing food habits, fast lifestyle, and the consistent surge in foodborne diseases have encouraged the government to introduce various regulations on food safety and its quality to reduce the number of deaths and illnesses caused. Organizations have dedicated themselves to implementing safety testing services based on framed government guidelines to address such safety concerns. Increasing standards and regulations on validation and verification services, consumer demand for certification, stringent regulations imposed by the government for food certifications, and extensive industry standards are significantly creating growth opportunities for the TIC market.
