In-House services segment held the largest market size during the forecast period

To perform in-house TIC activities, a company must build in-house capabilities in terms of technology, test and measurement equipment, and skilled personnel. Approximately 60% of the testing, inspection, and certification is conducted in-house. This process is particularly evident in applications such as life sciences, utilities, and public sectors. The rest of the market is served by independent/third-party service providers (companies whose primary business activities are providing TIC services), termed as outsourced services. To enter the TIC market, companies must have expertise, reputation, authorizations, and accreditations in a large number of countries for further business operations, require huge capital and a wide geographic network of offices and laboratories at both local and international levels. Owing to the criticality of applications, industries such as the public sector and mining prefer in-house services rather than opting for outsourced TIC services.

Consumer Goods and Retails segment held the largest market size during the forecast period

The TIC market for consumer goods and retail is driven by the increasing need of TIC services in personal care and beauty products, hard goods, softlines and accessories, toys and juvenile products, and electrical and electronics, among others.
