TIC Market for Fire Safety Equipment

Industry Overview

The Global Fire Safety Equipment Testing, Inspection, And Certification Market reached approximately USD 0.58 billion in 2023, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4% from 2025 to 2030.

Testing in TIC means an industrial activity that assures manufactured products, individual components, and multi-component systems are suitable for the predetermined purpose. Inspection and testing are the operating parts of quality control which supports cost, productivity, on-time delivery, and market share, thus the critical factor for the survival of any manufacturing company. The testing, inspection, and certification market report is composed of conformity assessment agencies, which provide services from audit and inspection to testing, verification, quality assurance, and certification.

Globalization has led to product standardization norms and has penetrated developed technologies across various industries such as fire safety equipment, food and beverage, electronics and automotive industries, etc., resulting in the growth of the TIC market during the forecast period 2025-2030.  Moreover, the growing middle-class population, rapid urbanization, mandatory safety regulations, upsurge in the illicit trade of counterfeit and pirated products, advancement in networking and communication technology, the inclination of outsourcing testing, inspection, and certification services has propelled the growth of the TIC market in the fire safety equipment. Nevertheless, TIC provides various advantages related to its credibility and image, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, less turnover of employees, high level of cost control improvement, and fast improvement of different processes. There is an increase in demand for fire safety systems in various industrial verticals such as automotive, manufacturing, energy and power, oil & gas, petrochemical, mining, construction, etc., and rising automation in buildings which will drive the market growth of the TIC market. Moreover, the developed and emerging economies like Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America have implemented mandatory regulations for the installation of fire safety equipment in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. 

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a short-term decline in demand and revenue in the first quarter of 2020. This has impacted a decline in the installation of new fire safety equipment in industrial and commercial sectors. Nevertheless, there is a growth in spending on new construction activities and replacing obsolete fire alarms, sprinklers, and detectors, which will propel the growth of the fire safety equipment market. Thus, TIC is playing a crucial role by offering assurance that the products and services offered to the customers will provide safety and health standards.

Business organizations in the TIC market are intensifying IT infrastructures and developing business continuity plans, implying that the testing, inspection, and certification market are holding the substantial potential to bounce back from the COVID-19 outbreak. This is due to the fact that TIC services will enhance and protect brand reputation, verify products’ safety, and enables trade.

Market Segmentation

Insight by Sourcing Type

Based on sourcing type, the TIC market for fire safety equipment is bifurcated in-house and outsourced. Among the two segments, outsourced fire testing is anticipated to grow at a faster pace during the forecast period due to the growing regulations which require more cost and time that make in-house a costly affair. Moreover, many big firms in the consumer goods & retail sector are outsourcing their consumer goods for fire testing because outsourcing is cheaper than in-house, resulting in the outsourced fire testing services market growing rapidly.

Insight by Service Type
