Automotive Diagnostic Scan Tools Market

Automotive Diagnostic Scan Tools Market



Growth Factors of Automotive Diagnostic Scan Tools Market

The automotive diagnostic scan tools market size was valued at USD 34.87 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 36.36 billion in 2024 to USD 60.66 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period of 2023-2030.

COVID-19 and restrictions on lockdown mostly in the second quarter of 2020 have had a negative impact on the automotive diagnostic scan tools market growth. For instance, the report by the IEA concerning the transport implications of the COVID-19 crisis based on data about changes in transport behaviour showing that road passenger transport declined by nearly 50% by Q2 of 2020, which is a 2019 baseline.

The advanced architecture of vehicles working as separate systems such as electronic control modules and advanced driver assistance systems makes it hard for a layman to diagnose a fault. The tools with standardized fault codes are quite easy to use, ensuring that consumers can identify problems without having to part with their hard-earned cash to have the car worked on. With the increase in the automotive electronics market, there will be an increase relating to the automotive diagnostic scan tools market share.

Also, due to government regulations in the U.S. and Europe, familiar cars have OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics II) which allows tracking devices of fleets to inspect other parameters in cars including fuel consumption rate and speed. This data is useful in the tracking of performance and management of utilization of the vehicle by the fleet operators. An increase in the popularity of OBD-II in commercial fleets will drive the automotive diagnostic scan tools market.
