Summary

Electric Vehicle Testing, Inspection, and Certification Overview

The electric vehicle testing, inspection, and certification market is projected to reach $4,038.2 million by 2031 from $1,104.7 million in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 15.49% during the forecast period 2022-2031. The growth in the electric vehicle testing, inspection, and certification market is expected to be driven by technological advancements in electric vehicle systems and increasing sales of electric vehicles around the world.

Market Lifecycle Stage

Electric vehicle testing, inspection, and certification is a crucial phase in the development of electric vehicles as well as for the success of vehicle suppliers and manufacturers. One of the main factors influencing the growth of the testing, certification, and inspection industries for electric vehicles is the increased need for their safety and efficiency. The electric vehicle sector must also adhere to stringent restrictions as well as national and international safety mandates. Electric and hybrid vehicle development is expected to increase over the coming years, creating lucrative opportunities for those testing, certifying, and inspecting these vehicles.

The electric vehicle testing, inspection, and certification market is in the growth phase. The implementation of electric vehicle testing, inspection, and certification is increasing in electric vehicles. As a result, the electric vehicle testing, inspection, and certification market is expected to flourish in the forecast period.

Impact

Growing electric vehicle demand in developing markets, stringent regulatory requirements imposed by governments on the electric vehicle industry, and consistently increasing instances of vehicle recall due to component failure are all driving this market's expansion. Furthermore, the increasing introduction of electric cars, rising customer perception of product quality and safety, and incorporation of technology advances with the rising adoption of connected devices in the electric vehicle industry are all providing opportunities for market players to expand.

Impact of COVID-19

The electric vehicle testing, inspection, and certification market's revenue growth was adversely affected by the rapid spread of COVID-19. During the pandemic, major electric vehicle companies such as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, PSA Group, Volkswagen, Ducati, Tesla, BMW, Rolls-Royce, and General Motors halted the manufacturing of electric vehicles. Production processes and the supply chain were also impeded by frequent lockdowns and safety mandates. As a result, the demand for testing, inspection, and certification services drastically decreased because of the decline in EV sales on a global level.
