The European TIC market for Automotive Industry reached USD 90 billion in 2023, with a projected CAGR of 3.7% from 2025 to 2030.

The most important component of quality control, which is essential to any manufacturing company's survival, is testing and inspection. Market share, cost, productivity, and on-time delivery are all directly impacted by quality control. Conformity assessment organizations, which offer services ranging from audit and inspection to testing, verification, quality assurance, and certification, make up the testing, inspection, and certification market study. The growing need for high-quality and safety features like airbags, electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), anti-skid braking systems, and pollution control systems are the main factors propelling the expansion of the Europe TIC market in the automotive sector. The automotive sector must also adhere to national and international safety standards and laws, as well as certain rules. However, the long lead time required for overseas qualification tests, compliance to CSR, lack of testing facilities and skilled personnel hamper the market growth.
