Vehicle inspection services to account for largest size of automotive inspection market, by application, during forecast period

Vehicle inspection services (VIS) are offered by automotive TIC companies. It is a technical inspection service provided by TIC companies for commercial vehicles (commercial van and truck fleets; heavy and mid-duty trucks; tractors; trailers; construction equipment; forklifts) and passenger vehicles (cars, motorcycles, pick-up trucks, boats and recreational trailers, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and recreational vehicles (RVs)). VIS services should ideally follow national/international regulatory standards for environmental protection. These services are also applicable to imported and used vehicles. Used vehicle inspection is another innovative approach that can be employed if a vehicle is returned with damage beyond expectations (excessive wear and tear), which drastically impacts its resale value. Vehicle inspection offers an autonomous and undisputable calculation of each returned vehicle’s value so that the customer can claim the cost of repairs or check the difference between the resale and market values. It is verified by the Vehicle Inspection Management System (VIMS), which takes the entire inspection process into consideration and provides a detailed cost analysis of every fault in the car.

In-house automotive TIC service market for electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and battery systems is expected to grow at highest CAGR during forecast period

In automotive applications, in-house testing for electronic control units (ECUs) and other core components is done by automakers at their manufacturing facilities. They are collaborating with public bodies and organizations including customs, competition authorities, and industrial health and safety authorities for conducting activities related to quality control and assurance.  The market for electric vehicles is rapidly growing owing to factors such as increasing urbanization, growing demand for global hybrid vehicles, rising car sales in emerging markets, surging demand for air-conditioning systems with improved efficiency, and declining battery prices. Electric and hybrid electric vehicles largely depend on their batteries, which act as energy storage systems. The performance and safety check of such batteries is, therefore, crucial, which requires comprehensive battery testing services such as battery life cycle testing, battery abuse testing, battery performance testing, and battery environmental testing/battery durability testing.

HVAC Controls Market Dynamics: Increasing Adoption of Smart Devices




The HVAC controls market is mainly dependent on HVAC equipment, as they are a vital part of HVAC systems. The demand for HVAC equipment is increasing because of the boom in the construction sector across the globe. Increasing urbanization in developing countries of APAC has created a huge demand for HVAC equipment. For instance, upcoming projects in India related to smart cities, bullet trains, and infrastructural development are fueling the growth of the HVAC equipment and controls market in this country. Population growth and urbanization are driving the market for HVAC equipment and, eventually, the market for HVAC controls. 

An increasing number of public–private partnership (PPP) projects are boosting the construction sector in the Middle East. The Tarif International Airport construction project in Saudi Arabia is a prime example of a PPP project, which includes the construction of the airport to handle 5 million passengers yearly. Several construction projects are getting implemented in Qatar because of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Suspended construction projects in the UAE due to the global economic crisis have been fully recovered. Such boom in the construction sector is fueling the demand for HVAC equipment, thus driving the HVAC controls market growth.

Global warming and energy-saving have become major issues to be handled globally. However, awareness regarding the use of effective HVAC systems and controls is low. The implementation of HVAC in residential buildings in developed countries is high; however, because of the high cost associated with the implementation of HVAC, the adoption is low even though the environmental benefits are high. Setting up an HVAC system in a building is a part of a subcontract given to a specialized company by contractors. However, a majority of subcontracting companies lack technical expertise and also have the financial budget issue, which lead to the implementation of ineffective HVAC systems and controls. Additionally, with respect to contractors of HVAC systems, there is a lack of awareness regarding the standards for HVAC. 

Residential HVAC construction firms are unaware of the latest SEER standards, which would ultimately hamper their business. These factors are hindering the adoption of HVAC controls, which leads to the setting up of HVAC equipment with manual operation systems. However, governments support the adoption of HVAC systems by providing tax credits and rolling out regulations and standards.


Continuous development of technologies and rapid innovation in various devices have increased the interest of customers toward the use of devices such as smartphones in HVAC. Inability to understand the technicality of devices and handle HVAC systems in a building has given rise to the concept of smart devices such as smartphone, smart thermostat, and smart meter. Smart devices deliver real-time data and enable a user to remotely manage HVAC systems. In case of commercial buildings, smart devices help gather information in the cloud architecture and send it to a facility manager (FM)of a building; this enables the FM to optimize the energy consumption in the building. The trend of remotely handling HVAC controls in a residential building has increased owing to the high use of smartphones. 

 
Applications of the aforementioned devices in commercial buildings allow operators to collect data over time and optimize energy consumption. The use of Wi-Fi thermostat and programmable thermostat via smart phones helps in managing and saving energy. Honeywell, Emerson, Venstar, Danfoss. and Rheem Manufacturing Company are some of the companies that develop smart devices, including color touch thermostat and voice-enabled thermostat.

Growing competition from SiC in high-voltage semiconductor applications
Silicon carbide (Sic) power semiconductor devices, since their launch at the commercial level in 2001, have been trying to penetrate the power semiconductor device market globally by replacing pure silicon. These devices offer improved power efficiency and advanced power handling capacity in terms of power rectification, power factor correction, power amplification, and power transmission. In high-voltage range applications, SiC semiconductor devices are the best choice in terms of their power efficiency and performance than their GaN counterparts. For instance, at the border-line voltages between medium and high voltages, ranging from 700V to 1,200V, the efficiency of GaN devices reduced considerably. Thus, the preference of SiC power semiconductor devices over GaN power semiconductor devices in power applications acts as a restraint for the growth of the gallium nitride semiconductor device market.
