Hydrogen technology testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) is the process of making sure hydrogen technologies satisfy regulatory, quality, and safety criteria. It covers assessing hydrogen generation, storage, and transportation systems for adherence to sector-specific norms and environmental rules. The market is expanding because of the increasing need for certification and testing procedures to guarantee the safety, efficiency, and performance of hydrogen fuel cell systems due to technological advancements in the field.
Additionally, there must be stringent adherence to regulations for fuel cells because they are becoming increasingly important in the energy and transportation industries. Furthermore, market participants in hydrogen technology TIC work with sectors including energy, transportation, and industry to guarantee that hydrogen systems are secure and up to code. The development and commercialization of hydrogen technologies on a global scale are supported by their critical testing, inspection, and certification services. Moreover, TIC services are in high demand because of the worldwide trend toward renewable energy sources and the advent of hydrogen-powered vehicles, which is fueling the hydrogen technology testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market in the coming years.
However, the market expansion of the hydrogen technology testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) sector is impeded by factors such as high advanced technology costs, complicated manufacturing processes, and rising competition. Furthermore, the COVID-19 epidemic disrupted supply chains, curtailed manufacturing, and delayed projects, which slowed down the hydrogen technology testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) industry. However, the market is beating back the pandemic due to the increasing demand for hydrogen generation. The market growth potential can be further enhanced by the increasing sophistication of hydrogen storage, increased government funding for clean energy and production technologies as well as strict safety standards, which are all factors that could lead to opportunities in hydrogen technology testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market.
The hydrogen technology testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market is segmented based on process, application, service type, and testing type. Based on the process, the market is segmented into generation, storage, and transportation/distribution. By application, the market is segmented into refining & chemicals, mobility, energy, and others. By service type, the market is segmented into testing, inspection, certification, and others. By testing type, the market is segmented into pressure cycle, leakage and tightness test, overpressure, burst, and flow test, hydrogen permeation and compatibility test, hydraulic test, environmental simulation test, electromagnetic compatibility test, and vibration test.
The generation in the hydrogen technology testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market is expected to hold a major global market share in 2023 because hydrogen is growing in favorability and more popular as a green energy choice. Moreover, technologies that can produce hydrogen are in great demand because of the growing interest in renewable energy sources by both governments and businesses. In order to guarantee trustworthy and long-lasting hydrogen energy solutions on a global scale, there is a growing demand for TIC services to conduct rigorous safety, efficiency, and compliance testing on hydrogen production, storage, and transportation, which are further factors driving the market’s expansion.
The mobility segment is expanding rapidly in the hydrogen technology testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market. This is owing to the increasing interest in fuel cell electric cars (FCEVs) and other vehicles fueled by hydrogen. Innovation in transportation is being propelled by government and industry investments in hydrogen mobility, which offers a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. In addition, rigid TIC procedures are necessary to guarantee security, effectiveness, and conformity with hydrogen systems regulations, which is driving the growth of the mobility market.
The Asia Pacific hydrogen technology testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market is expected to report the highest market revenue share. It can be attributed to major businesses embracing hydrogen technology for transportation, power generation, and industrial uses, strong government backing for renewable energy, and rising investments in hydrogen infrastructure. In addition, North America is projected to grow rapidly in the global hydrogen technology testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market because of increasing funding for renewable energy, new government programs encouraging the use of hydrogen, and growing demand in the transportation and manufacturing industries, investing more in infrastructure, and promoting sustainability and energy efficiency.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
