Testing Inspection and Certification Market Outlook:
Testing Inspection and Certification Market size was valued at USD 36.09 billion in 2025 and is likely to cross USD 52.91 billion by 2035, expanding at more than 3.9% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of testing inspection and certification is assessed at USD 37.36 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. The tool optimizes compliance processes, enabling manufacturers to shorten the time it takes to bring their products to testing, inspection, and certification market. This is in line with the trends observed in the TIC industry where validation through AI, real-time analytics, and digital compliance are becoming the new normal.
