Automotive Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

The process of ensuring that a vehicle or component meets all applicable safety and performance requirements is referred to as "automotive testing, inspection, and certification" (TIC). Crash testing, noise vibration and harshness (NVH) testing, corrosion resistance testing, and emissions certification are all examples of TIC tests and inspections. The goal of TIC is to protect driver and passenger safety while also ensuring that vehicles meet environmental standards.

Global Automotive Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) Market

Drivers

• Imposition of Various Regulations and Safety Standards

The global automotive industry is governed by a variety of government regulations concerning passenger safety and environmental concerns. These regulations/standards have a direct impact on and influence the design of vehicle components. Strict government regulations require automakers to include safety features such as seatbelts, airbags, and crumple zones in their vehicles. Tariffs and other trade barriers are imposed by major regulatory bodies to penalise and discourage manufacturers from violating emission and safety standards. This compels automakers to create more fuel-efficient vehicles with lower emissions while also including safety features such as anti-skid braking systems (ABS), electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), airbags, and emission control systems such as catalytic converters with turbochargers and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems.

• Expansion of Automotive Industries in Developing Regions

Throughout the last decade, the automotive market in developed countries has remained stable and consistent in terms of production rate. In comparison, several emerging markets, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, have more than doubled their market size in recent years. As the automotive industry shifts away from mature markets and toward emerging markets, emerging markets are expected to hold the key to the modern-day automotive industry's consistent growth. In the early 2000s, emerging economies accounted for only one-fourth of total global automotive production, but by 2015, they accounted for more than half. This indicates that the automobile industry has experienced consistent growth, particularly in emerging economies.
