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.
