We have classified automotive testing equipment into the following product types:

• Engine Dynamometer
• Chassis Dynamometer
• Vehicle Emission Test System
• Wheel Alignment Tester

A chassis dynamometer is commonly used for millage accumulation and emission testing. This segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2015 and is expected to witness considerable growth through the forecast period of 2016–2023. This growth is primarily attributed to its increasing installations at original equipment manufacturers' (OEM) plants. The vehicle emission test system equipment category is expected to witness the fastest growth with the initiatives taken by several countries to reduce vehicle emissions and greenhouse gases (GHG).

The U.S., Japan, China, and Europe are major markets for vehicle emission test equipment. Engine dynamometer testing equipment is used to measure torque and power from the coupled engine. An engine dynamometer is used in vehicle testing factories and automotive service centers to evaluate vehicle and engine performance. Wheel alignment testers are also expected to witness considerable growth with increasing vehicle production and the introduction of wireless wheel alignment testing solutions.

We have considered the following types of automotive test equipment to estimate the overall market size:

• Handheld Scan Tool
• Mobile Device-Based Scan Tool
• PC/laptop-based scan tool

Most of the automotive test equipment is handheld. It includes emission analyzers, gas analyzers, battery testers, fuel pressure testers, air pressure and vacuum testers, thermometers, airbag scan tools, simulators, and others. The handheld scan tool segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2015 and is expected to maintain its dominating position throughout the 2016–2023.

Mobile device-based scan tools are expected to witness the fastest growth with the continuous evolution of user-friendly applications-based car diagnostic and analyzing solutions. Vehicle manufacturers are introducing advanced vehicles with electronic components and car diagnostic computers. This is influencing the demand for mobile device-based scanning tools. PC- and laptop-based solutions are gaining popularity in wheel alignment testing applications.

The global automotive testing equipment market is classified into four major regions, i.e., North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). The Rest of the World region is further classified into South America, Africa, and the Middle East.North America is expected to witness significant demand for automotive testing equipment with the increasing sale of motor vehicles, stringent emission regulations, an increasing vehicle fleet, and the introduction of mandatory vehicle repair and maintenance laws. Asia Pacific is the largest regional market for automotive test equipment solutions.

It is also expected to be the fastest-growing regional market for automotive test equipment throughout the forecast period of 2016–2023 due to rising vehicle production and an increasing number of independent service centers and workshops, particularly in China, India, and Southeast Asia.
