Market Overview -

The automotive testing, inspection and certification (TIC) industry encompasses three main categories: testing, inspection, and certification. According to the National Accreditation and Certification Administration (CNCA), certification, accreditation, inspection, and testing are fundamental systems for strengthening quality management and improving market efficiency under market economies. They are crucial components of market regulation and are often called the "physical examination certificate" of quality management, the "letter of credit" of the market economy, and the "passport" of international trade.

Testing: The activity of determining one or more characteristics of the subject of conformity assessment according to procedures. This involves using instruments and equipment to conduct evaluations based on technical standards and specifications, with the results of these evaluations being test data.

Inspection: The activity of examining a product design, product, process, or installation to determine its conformity with specific requirements or, based on professional judgment, its conformity with general requirements. This involves relying on human experience and knowledge, using test data or other evaluation information, to determine whether relevant regulations are met.

Certification: The third-party certification of a product, process, system, or personnel. This refers to the conformity assessment activity in which a third-party certification body certifies that products, services, management systems, or personnel conform to relevant standards and technical specifications.

Market Drivers -

Electrification is one of the most direct technological trends driving the growth of TIC. Battery systems (cells, modules, and packs) require extensive specialized testing in areas such as safety (thermal runaway, short circuit, and post-crash safety), lifespan (cycle and calendar life), performance (energy density, power degradation), and charging interoperability and grid coupling. Consequently, the specialized battery TIC market is expanding at a double-digit CAGR, driving investment and outsourcing demand for dedicated test labs, thermal runaway test benches, environmental cycling, and high-power charge and discharge testing capabilities. The increasing complexity and diverse chemistry of battery testing also create pressure for continuous updates to standards, equipment, and methodologies.

Testing approaches are evolving toward a "virtual + physical" and "software-driven" approach. Virtual simulation, HIL/SiL, scenario-level simulation, and cloud-based big data verification significantly improve the efficiency of software, algorithm, and sensor verification. However, this also shifts the demands for data annotation quality, simulation credibility, and toolchain revalidation to new TIC categories (such as simulation verification compliance, model validation, and dataset credibility assessment). Functional safety (ISO 26262) and its implementation in automotive electronic architecture remain core testing areas. With the increasing complexity of ADAS and domain controllers, demand for functional safety verification, ASIL assignment, redundancy strategy validation, and system-level integration testing continues to expand. This market is also growing at a steady pace, further driving the specialization of related TIC services.

Connected and autonomous driving features require multiple testing dimensions, including cybersecurity, continuous software compliance, sensor calibration, and scenario coverage verification. From sensor-level perception performance and algorithm robustness in long-tail scenarios to vehicle-side and cloud-based software update security and OTA process audits, TIC has expanded from pre-shipment compliance testing to continuous monitoring and auditing throughout the vehicle lifecycle. This not only increases the demand for interdisciplinary and cross-domain capabilities (network attack and defense, software engineering, safety management system audits, and remote diagnostics), but also encourages large TIC service providers to leverage global laboratory networks, standardized tool chains, and digital delivery capabilities to secure long-term outsourcing contracts from OEMs, thereby increasing market concentration and service premiums. Overall, mandatory regulatory requirements, the technological evolution of EVs and software-defined vehicles, and the parallel improvement of functional safety and network security will together constitute the core driving force for the continued expansion of the automotive TIC market in the coming years. Both the market size and service depth will evolve towards a more professional and high-value-added direction.
