Unlocking TIC+
A New Industry Perspective
The TIC Council defines TIC as 'Testing, Inspection, and Certification', but Red Swan Partners has enhanced this definition to reflect the sector’s rapid evolution. TIC+ expands beyond these core pillars to include: Assurance, Compliance, Consulting, Training, and Calibration - key services that are increasingly integral to the industry's most active players.
Red Swan Partners introduced TIC+ not to redefine the market but to provide a sharper, more strategic lens for investors seeking opportunities and companies considering an exit. By identifying the most engaged and acquisitive buyers, TIC+ serves as a crucial framework for understanding the forces shaping future M&A activity.
While TIC+ seeks to expand the traditional definition, we have also sought to better refine it by the exclusion of certain activities that while part of current TIC players are more closer linked to other industry sectors. As such TIC+ does not include:
-
Pure-play digital service providers, pharma development firms, clinical research organizations (CROs) and diagnostic companies, despite some overlap with TIC buyers.
-
Non-core TIC players, where TIC+ services make up only a minor, peripheral part of their broader business, making them unlikely to pursue sustained M&A in the sector.
By refining the TIC+ definition, Red Swan Partners delivers clearer market intelligence - empowering stakeholders with the insights needed to navigate and capitalize on this dynamic landscape.
