Bureau Veritas' Strong Position Persists

Benjamin Slupecki

Bureau Veritas is one of only a handful of global firms in the testing, inspection, and certification sector, operating across multiple subindustries. The TIC market is highly fragmented, with many local/regional players that lack the capabilities to operate across multiple industries and, as such, struggle to successfully service the needs of multinational companies. BV’s scale allows the company to leverage its network of industry experts and testing sites to offer a broad service and bid for large multiyear contracts.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The TIC market is growing structurally as a result of intensifying regulation, outsourcing by public bodies, increasingly sophisticated consumer products (such as wearable tech), and growing demand for testing from middle-class consumers in emerging markets.

Bears

Material exposure to the oil and gas sector could negatively affect the company’s ability to grow as quickly as hoped over the next few years.
