China Testing, Inspection, And Certification Market Growth & Trends

The China testing, inspection, and certification market size is anticipated to reach USD 69.09 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The high standards of living of Chinese citizens and the increased focus of customers on the quality and safety of food products and consumer goods such as toys, personal care & beauty products, and electrical & electronic appliances are driving the growth of the China testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market. Further, an increase in outsourcing of TIC services by prominent companies operating in the manufacturing, automotive, and consumer goods application areas is projected to boost the industry’s growth.

Furthermore, the TIC market is expected to grow at a faster pace in China owing to government investments in the transportation and energy sectors as well as the construction industry. The Chinese government has introduced favorable policies for international players to establish their foothold in the country to achieve progressive liberalization. The domestic players capture a majority share of the TIC market in several Chinese provinces. The government has encouraged foreign investments in the TIC market by lifting the barriers for international TIC providers to enter and operate in the Mainland marketplace.

For instance, in January 2023, TÜV Rheinland, a testing inspection and certification service provider, opened a laboratory center in China. Opening a new laboratory center in Taicang, China, is a significant step for TÜV Rheinland as it further expands its presence in the Asia Pacific region. The new laboratory center is expected to cater to the increasing demand for testing and certification services from various regional industries, including automotive, chemical, and consumer goods.

Previously, most companies in China conducted their testing, inspection, and certification operations in-house. However, with the growing acceptance of the China Compulsory Certification (CCC), a greater emphasis is placed on the need for strict regulatory standards and certifications. This has led to an increase in outsourcing activities of TIC in China due to cost benefits. This growing trend of outsourcing TIC services is anticipated to further drive the growth of the Chinese TIC market over the forecast period due to the increased accessibility of the domestic market for international players and the provision of cost-effective solutions by the TIC service providers.
