Market Drivers
1. Focus on Environmental Protection and Clean Energy Transition
Environmental sustainability is increasingly prioritized across North America, driven by both government policies and proactive industry initiatives. A notable development was the enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which came into effect in January 2023 in the U.S. The Act offers various funding mechanisms, tax credits, and incentives—such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) of 30% and the Production Tax Credit (PTC) valued at US$ 0.0275/kWh in 2023—to support the shift toward a clean energy economy.
These incentives have boosted the adoption of renewable energy, thereby increasing the demand for TIC services across industries involved in the energy transition. As a result, TIC providers are expanding their service offerings and footprint. For instance, in July 2023, TUV SUD America Inc. invested US$ 44 million to establish a state-of-the-art environmental laboratory in Michigan, U.S.—a move that underscores the rising demand for advanced testing capabilities.
2. Stringent Environmental Regulations and Sustainability Certifications
In July 2020, the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA)—also known as CUSMA in Canada and T-MEC in Mexico—came into force, accompanied by the Environmental Cooperation Agreement (ECA). This trade agreement includes some of the most rigorous environmental provisions seen in free trade agreements, compelling businesses to adopt eco-friendly practices to meet regulatory expectations and gain market advantages.
Businesses are increasingly pursuing certifications such as:
- Intertek Green Leaf Mark
- EcoVadis Sustainability Rating
- 1% for the Planet
These certifications help demonstrate sustainable practices to customers, investors, and regulators. Additionally, TIC companies such as SGS SA and Bureau Veritas offer circular economy certifications that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The growing focus on sustainability and the circular economy is further fueling the TIC market’s expansion across North America.
