The hydrogen automotive testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market is estimated to reach USD 35.8 million by 2030 from an estimated value of USD 18.3 million in 2024, at a CAGR of 11.8% during the forecast period. The market is driven by increasing adoption of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, stringent safety and emission regulations, and rising investments in hydrogen infrastructure. Government incentives, growing environmental concerns, and advancements in hydrogen technology are boosting demand for quality assurance. Additionally, global standardization efforts and the expansion of hydrogen refueling networks are accelerating the need for TIC services.

"Inspection segment is expected to remain the second-largest, by service."

Based on service, the hydrogen automotive testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market has been segmented into testing, inspection, and certification. The inspection segment is projected to be the second-largest segment in the hydrogen automotive testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market. This growth is driven by the increasing need to ensure the integrity, safety, and performance of hydrogen-powered vehicles and infrastructure throughout their lifecycle. As hydrogen vehicles operate under high-pressure systems and involve complex components such as fuel cells, tanks, and pipelines, regular inspection is critical to detect wear, corrosion, or potential failures. Regulatory bodies across regions are implementing stricter safety mandates, requiring routine inspection for certification and compliance. Moreover, the rapid deployment of hydrogen refueling stations and the growing production of hydrogen-powered fleets have increased the demand for on-site and in-service inspection solutions. These factors collectively drive the expansion of inspection services within the hydrogen automotive TIC ecosystem.

"Buses: The second-largest segment of the hydrogen automotive testing, inspection and certification (TIC) market, by vehicle type."

By vehicle type, the hydrogen automotive testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market has been segmented into five categories: passenger cars, buses, light commercial vehicles, medium duty vehicles, heavy duty vehicles, and ICE hydrogen vehicles. The segment, buses, is expected to capture the second-largest share of the market by vehicle type. This growth is driven by increasing government support for zero-emission public transportation and rising investments in sustainable urban mobility. Hydrogen-powered buses offer longer range and faster refueling than battery-electric counterparts, making them ideal for intercity and high-frequency routes. Several countries, particularly in Europe and Asia, are deploying hydrogen buses as part of their clean energy transition strategies. Additionally, the need for rigorous testing, inspection, and certification of fuel cell systems, storage tanks, and safety protocols is growing to ensure regulatory compliance and operational safety, further boosting TIC service demand in this segment.
