Market Size and Growth

As per the Hydrogen Technology TIC Market size analysis conducted by the CMI Team, the global Hydrogen Technology TIC market is expected to record a CAGR of 17.5% from 2025 to 2034. In 2024, the market size is projected to reach a valuation of USD 5 Billion. By 2034, the valuation is anticipated to reach USD 18.4 Billion.

Overview

As per the industry experts at CMI, the worldwide market for Hydrogen Technology TIC is growing quickly due to increasing demand for hydrogen systems that are both safe and standardized. More and more TIC firms and regulatory, governmental, and non-governmental organizations and consortia are establishing services in the TIC sector to assess the production, storage, and operation of emerging green hydrogen value chains. In North America, companies are spending money to develop digital infrastructure using AI digital inspections, risk assessment product inspections, and digital inspections and documentation in the cloud.

On the other hand, in Europe, leading companies are working on regulatory and advisory strategies to ensure compliance with strict climate goals. Suppliers in Asia-Pacific are developing scale-up programs for industrial applications and transportation and mobility. Across the globalized region, trends such as sustainability, traceability, and cross-border certificates are resulting in significant strategic value creation.

Key Trends & Drivers

Increasing Demand for Hydrogen: The push towards clean energy alternatives has led to the renewed and increased TIC services. They implemented them in May 2025 with the National Green Hydrogen Standards and Certification Framework for large-scale hydrogen deployment. Later, in October 2024, Germany also adopted three EU-certified systems for renewable Hydrogen which incentivized per kilogram payment of verified green Hydrogen and thus created TIC firm momentum. Reinforcing this also expands across production, pipelines, and storage networks as countries begin defining standards while TIC companies broaden their offered services because there are constantly rising needs. This further boosts investment for testing capabilities over the world.

OEM Involvement in Hydrogen Fuel Cells: The role of OEMs as end integrators is expanding to include hydrogen fuel cells within their mobility and aerospace platforms, prompting the need for specialized TIC services pertaining to safety and performance. Effective February 2024, TÜV SÜD’s accreditation under ISO 22734:2019 allows certification of hydrogen generators, which opens possibilities for collaboration with OEMs on system validation. This makes assistance in testing integration of the fuel cells into vehicles and other industrial systems possible. The integrated OEM-sponsored TIC requirements are developing at a startling pace. Together with Panasonic, Toyota initiated testing on hydrogen fuel cells for logistics fleet applications requiring certification support as of May 2024. The hydrogen-powered mobility expansion presents significant opportunities for collaboration, thus making it a key segment for TIC services. Initiatives like these motivate ongoing inter-organizational collaborative work around the various stages of testing.

Standardization Initiatives and International Regulations: The lack of unified global standards TIC serves as a roadblock to advancing the trade of hydrogen fuel, as well as establishing infrastructure and uniformity of TIC across regions. With ISO and EU emission and traceability standards, India kickstarted GHCI in April 2025 which positions it with aligned initiatives. Germany also granted recognition to EU certification systems in November 2024, linking them to fiscal subsidies for green hydrogen producers. These frameworks facilitate borderless TIC services. Standardized frameworks help reduce costs as well as eliminate inspections, resulting in streamlined processes. There is an increasing participation of TIC firms in sponsoring these regulations. Global execution of hydrogen projects becomes more efficient thanks to standardized protocols.

Report Scope

SWOT Analysis

• Strengths: The Hydrogen Technology TIC market is positively positioned due to the strong global shift towards clean energy, supported by policies, funding, and goals for decarbonization. Strategic market actors such as SGS and Bureau Veritas possess decades-long certification experience, which offers trust and recognition throughout the industry. Growing hydrogen adoption in mobility, power, and industrial sectors offers supporting markets that demand strict safety and quality assurance. Advanced TIC capabilities like AI-based inspections and remote monitoring improve compliance alongside efficiency. All these strengths fortify TIC firms’ positions within the hydrogen value chain, and their credibility increases confidence concerning large-scale deployment of hydrogen technologies.

• Weaknesses: Due to a lack of standardization in the hydrogen industry’s global frameworks, certifications are stagnant in certain regions, which hampers borderless certification processes. An emerging market in several regions leads to unawareness of fragmented demand, driving costs up further due to specialized equipment and personnel needed to safely handle hydrogen. Cross-border scaled mobile or remote testing units drive mobile unit testing for logistical supply chains. Established global companies put smaller regional competitors out of business due to capital limitations or technical constraints hindering expansion.

• Opportunities: Expand TIC usage in the production, storage, and transport of hydrogen fuels with rising infrastructure investments globally. The establishment of hydrogen certification schemes will create new markets for TIC services testing and compliance. These applications include hydrogen-powered drones, ships, homes, and trains, which put further demand on TIC. Certifying countries in the Middle East or Export oriented economies like Australia will have a high demand for strict international certifications, which will increase the availability of providers for TIC Services. Strategic partnerships with OEMs, along with service digitalization can be leveraged by TIC firms to gain a competitive advantage. Innovations sustainability-linked certifications are also on offer.

• Threats: Rapidly changing technologies and regulations pose a risk to outpacing TIC capacity frameworks. Lack of global unified hydrogen standards adds complexity, which may stall market access across several regions. Economic slowdowns coupled with policy changes may curtail hydrogen investment, which would impact demand for TIC services. Inspection tools grow more digital and connected, increasing vulnerability to cybersecurity threats. Besides credibility and quality risks arising from shortened turnaround times without sacrificing accuracy demands posed by clients, tighter accuracy budgets worsen industry competition, further eroding profit margins alongside regionally validated in-house validation offered by major players.
