Automotive diagnostics Market Expected to Reach $109.84 Billion by 2030—Allied Market Research

According to a recent report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Automotive Diagnostics Market by Type, Device, and Application: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030,” the global automotive diagnostics market was valued at $40.77 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $109.84 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.5% from 2021 to 2030.

North America dominates the automotive diagnostics market in terms of revenue, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. U.S. dominated the global automotive diagnostics market share in 2020. Mexico is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period, owing to increase in demand for vehicles equipped with advanced features across the country.

Diagnostics are designed to be used in vehicles to determine the condition of the components used in the vehicle. Numerous types of vehicle diagnosis systems are offered by the companies operating in the market, which has created a positive impact on the growth of automotive diagnostics market. In addition, with advancements in vehicular technology, the need for installing on-board vehicular technology increased significantly, which has encouraged automotive diagnostics service providers to develop on-board diagnostics (OBD) for vehicles, thereby propelling the market growth.   

Numerous developments have been carried out by the top manufacturers such as BMW AG, Continental AG, Delphi Automotive PLC., Denso Corporation, and Harman International toward offering automotive diagnostic systems. For instance, in April, 2019, Denso Corporation opened a Connected Services Pennsylvania Technical Center in Scranton. It was previously a part of EASE Simulation, Inc., an automotive diagnostics developer, that was fully acquired by DENSO in 2018. The technical center operates under Denso Products and Services Americas, Inc., and further enhances Denso’s ability to deliver cutting-edge aftermarket products and services to customers across North America.

The global automotive diagnostics market report is segmented into type, device, application, and region. Depending on type, the market is bifurcated into on-board and off-board diagnostic system. On the basis of device, it is segregated into hand-held tools, mobile-based tools, PC-based tools, and others. The applications covered in the study include passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, and electric vehicles. Region wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Factors such as development of the automotive industry, increase in demand for IoT-based technology, and high demand for safety features in vehicles augment the growth of the global automotive diagnostics market.
