Global Electric Vehicle Testing, Inspection and Certification Market Research Report: Forecast (2021-2026)

With the increasing adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs), the demand for EV Testing, Inspection, & Certification (TIC) is also rising significantly. It is primarily to ensure the safety & conformity of EVs at the full-vehicle & component level. 

The Global Electric Vehicle Testing, Inspection, and Certification Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 15.21% during the forecast period, i.e., 2021-26, says MarkNtel Advisors. Technological advancements and the increasing complexity of automobile subsystems have paved the way for EVs. However, these vehicles come with complete parts that might pose potential risks of failure and become fatal for automobile users. 

Therefore, EVs must endure the formal testing, inspection, and certification process before becoming accessible to the general public. Hence, the demand for TIC is increasing significantly across the world.

Furthermore, the rising occurrence of vehicle recall due to component failures, coupled with increasing EV production across emerging economies, shall also fuel the market growth in the forecast period, further states the research report, "Global Electric Vehicle Testing, Inspection, and Certification Market Analysis, 2021."

Covid-19 Mildly Impacted the Global Electric Vehicle Testing, Inspection, and Certification Market

Last year, the Covid-19 pandemic negatively impacted almost all industries, where the automotive industry was the most affected. It further mildly hampered the EV industry and Global Electric Vehicle Testing, Inspection, and Certification Market later.

The initial quarter was the toughest for the market due to the stringent norms on movement imposed by the government to combat the virus. Yet, market players introduced new modes to sustain amidst the crisis. The market swiftly adopted digitization to conduct the TIC services and remote EV inspection. It also created significant growth opportunities for market players. Hence, with the gradual upliftment of restrictions, the market is expected to expand & regain its usual pace in the coming years. 

Market Segmentation

In-House Type to Capture Larger Market Share Through 2026
