Hydrogen Technology Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) Market Introduction and Overview

According to SPER Market Research, the Global Hydrogen Technology Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) Market is estimated to reach USD 19.34 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 18.46%.

The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Hydrogen Technology Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis.  The growing share is fueled by the rising adoption of hydrogen as a clean energy source and the increasing demand for strict safety and performance standards. As nations prioritize hydrogen in their energy transition plans, the need for dependable testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) services is escalating. These services guarantee that hydrogen production, storage, and distribution technologies comply with regulatory standards and safety protocols, building trust among stakeholders. The development of hydrogen applications, including fuel cells and hydrogen-powered vehicles, requires thorough testing and certification to reduce risks and improve operational efficiency. However, Building a low-carbon hydrogen system is challenging due to limited clean hydrogen infrastructure, high costs of production, and lack of a global market. Green hydrogen is particularly expensive but essential for Net Zero goals.
By Service Type: In 2024, the testing segment led the market, driven by the growing adoption of hydrogen-based systems like fuel cells and storage solutions. Ensuring their safety, efficiency, and performance became essential, with testing identifying hazards such as leaks or material degradation, especially in high-pressure environments. Stricter regulations and increased research and development in hydrogen infrastructure further boosted demand. Meanwhile, the inspection segment is expected to see significant growth as the need for regular checks to prevent risks like leaks or equipment malfunctions rises with the expansion of hydrogen systems.

By Testing Type: In 2024, the hydrogen permeation and compatibility testing segment led the market, driven by the need to prevent material degradation, embrittlement, and leaks, which pose significant safety risks. As hydrogen use increases, ensuring the compatibility of materials like metals, polymers, and composites with hydrogen environments becomes essential, particularly in storage, transportation, and fuel cell systems. This growth is fueled by the demand for advanced testing solutions to meet strict regulatory standards. Meanwhile, the pressure cycle, leakage, and tightness testing segment is expected to experience the highest growth due to the risks associated with storing and transporting hydrogen under extreme pressure.

By Application: In 2024, the refining and chemical segment dominated the market, driven by hydrogen's role in refining operations like hydrocracking and desulfurization to produce cleaner fuels. As industries seek to meet stricter environmental standards, demand for hydrogen-based processes increases, fueling the need for comprehensive testing and inspection. Hydrogen's growing use in chemical production also boosts the need for TIC services. Meanwhile, the mobility segment is expected to grow the fastest, driven by the rise of hydrogen-powered vehicles and infrastructure.

By Process: In 2024, the generation segment led the market, driven by the growing focus on green hydrogen production and the need for strict quality control in hydrogen generation technologies. As industries transition to low-carbon hydrogen, particularly through electrolysis and renewable methods, ensuring efficiency, safety, and compliance becomes essential. Testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) of hydrogen generation plants are vital for meeting regulatory standards and optimizing performance.

By Regional Insights: The hydrogen technology testing, inspection, and certification market in North America is expected to experience the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The region's strong commitment to building a hydrogen economy, backed by government policies and private sector efforts, has increased the demand for extensive TIC services. Key drivers include significant investments in hydrogen research and development, the creation of hydrogen refueling networks, and collaborations aimed at scaling hydrogen production and usage.



Market Competitive Landscape:
The market is moderately consolidated. Some of the market key players are Applus+, Bureau Veritas SA, DEKRA SE, DNV GL, Intertek Group plc, SGS SA, TUV NORD GROUP, TUV Rheinland, TUV SUD, UL LLC, and others.

Recent Developments:
  • The Baker Hughes Company opened a new hydrogen testing facility in January 2024 with the goal of confirming that their NovaLT industrial turbines can run on hydrogen mixtures of up to 100%. In addition to offering complete fuel flexibility, the facility has a test bench that can do full-load testing, accommodate pressures up to 300 psi, and store 2,450 kg of fuel. A key location for the Baker Hughes Company's customer partnerships in the growing hydrogen economy will be this new hydrogen testing facility.
  • In November 2023, the first phase of an investment program for USD 10 million was launched by London-based TIC services provider Element Materials Technology. Purchasing cutting-edge hydrogen testing apparatus and growing its worldwide hydrogen technology staff are two aspects of this commitment.
