Analyst Perspective:
The testing, inspection, and certification industry is focusing on the adoption of various advanced technologies to promote safer and faster testing and inspection. Smart laboratories of the digital age is relying on technologies, namely artificial intelligence (AI), big data, cloud computing, and machine learning (ML), among several others. AI and ML, in conjunction with digital images, are being leveraged for semi-automated processes to reduce errors and lower uncertainties of conformity assessments in industrial testing. Big data allows for the management and analysis of the increasing qualities and types of data available for testing and inspecting products. Cloud computing is promoting instant data sharing, report issuing, and certification automation, among others. Drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are offering novel methods of conducting remote inspections and aerial mapping. They can be fitted with multispectral sensors for precise measurements in agriculture or thermal cameras for measuring heat distribution. Drone-based inspection of remote equipment is expected to grow rapidly in the conventional and renewable energy sectors.
Drones, fitted with thermal imaging equipment, are expected to assist in remotely monitoring the health of power lines and other equipment. Sensors are also expected to play an increasingly important role in process control and automated production lines. This can also provide growth potential for connectivity, data sharing, and integration with logistics while providing valuable data and feedback from markets. Integration of blockchain technology can improve traceability, transparency, and trade potential. It can offer a transparent, secure, and decentralized method of verifying certificates with increased efficiency and reduced costs. Thus, the adoption of advanced technologies by the North America testing, inspection, and certification market players is expected to transform the North America testing, inspection, and certification market in the coming years.
Market Overview of North America Testing, Inspection, and Certification Market:
The increased demand for safety and infrastructure improvements is fostering the North America testing, inspection, and certification market expansion. The North America testing, inspection, and certification market is also expanding owing to the adoption of sophisticated technologies, shorter product lifecycles, and intricate supply chains in numerous end use industries. Also, food safety audits are becoming more common in countries such as the US, which drives the North America testing, inspection, and certification market. The Food and Drug Administration of the US introduced the Food Safety Modernization Act in order to improve the country's food safety system, with a primary focus on reducing foodborne illnesses. The government established different requirements for various food goods under this act. As a result, the country's testing, inspection, and certification activities expanded rapidly.
Further, DEKRA was chosen by the California Energy Commission to create a Vehicle-Grid Innovation Laboratory (ViGIL) to enhance the interoperability of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. The facility, which is located in Concord, California, started its operations in 2022. The lab was supposed to assist electric car manufacturers, suppliers, device manufacturers, electric vehicle charging station manufacturers, charging point operators, and service providers with a variety of cutting-edge testing and certification services. Moreover, in Canada, as the need for medical-grade personal protective equipment (PPE) grows, it is crucial to guarantee that this equipment is available and safe to use in Canada. As of October 2020, the CSA Group has announced the establishment of a certified, special-purpose laboratory dedicated to testing and certifying the safety of medical-grade personal protective equipment (PPE). The laboratories will test and certify medical-grade PPE such as masks, filtering facepiece respirators, medical gloves, protective drapes, and gear such as surgical and isolation gowns for usage across Canada.
Moreover, the Government of Mexico is supporting product safety standards in the country. For instance, Intertek provides Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL) certification, which is accepted in Mexico as a product’s proof of compliance with applicable safety standards. As a result, the government awarded equal recognition to certain North American certification bodies such as Intertek and Mexico's NOM certification for a limited range of electrical and electronic devices brought into Mexico.
