The automotive remote diagnostics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over the past years, there has been a quick expansion in the size of the automotive remote diagnostics market. Forecast estimates show that the market value will rise from $14.49 billion in 2024 to $16.54 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%.
The growth observed in the past can be linked to the growing complexity of automotive systems, escalated demand for efficiency in vehicle maintenance, the proliferation of fleet management solutions, regulatory necessities and compliance, and the increasing globalization of the automotive industry.
The automotive remote diagnostics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of automotive remote diagnostics is projected to experience sizable growth in the upcoming years, estimated to reach $27.69 billion in 2029 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.8%.
This forecasted growth during the period can be linked to the increasing implementation of connected vehicles, the move towards predictive maintenance, a heightened focus on fleet optimization, rising demand for improved customer service, and the development of subscription-based models. The key trends expected in the same period are the rising incorporation of artificial intelligence and machine learning, extending remote software updates, usage of blockchain for safe data exchange, a shift towards the use of cloud-based remote diagnostic platforms, and emphasis on personalized diagnostic analyses.
The surge in electric vehicle uptake is predicted to boost the expansion of the automotive remote diagnostics industry. Electric Vehicles (EVs) are propelled by one or more electric motors, drawing power from rechargable batteries or other sources, and usually produce no tailpipe emissions. The escalating adoption of EVs is stimulated by several contributing factors such as concerns for the environment, advances in battery tech, government incentives and competitive pricing. Electric cars need remote diagnostics due to the complexity of their electric drivetrains and battery systems, demanding prompt engagement for effective functioning, upkeep, and refinement. As per the International Energy Agency, a France-based independent intergovernmental body, in April 2024, approximately 14 million new electric cars were registered across the globe in 2023, taking the total to 40 million on the roads. Electric vehicles accounted for almost 18% of all car sales, a rise from 14% in 2022. Consequently, the growing demand for electric vehicles is propelling the growth of the automotive remote diagnostics industry.
