The vehicle diagnostics market is anticipated to expand due to the increasing trend of vehicle leasing. Vehicle leasing involves a contractual agreement wherein an entity or an individual rents a vehicle from a leasing firm or bank for a predetermined duration, usually spanning months to years. The popularity of vehicle leasing is rising because of factors such as availability of newer cars, lower maintenance expenses, versatility, and business tax incentives. Vehicle diagnostics plays a crucial role in vehicle leasing as it guarantees the upkeep and efficacy of leased cars, allows leasing companies to scrutinize vehicle health, identify problems, and enhance fleet management for smooth and dependable service throughout the lease term. For example, as reported by Verdict Media Limited's MotorFinanceOnline, a UK-based online news and analytics portal, in the first half of 2022, 20% or 1 out of 5 new leasing customers were inclined towards leasing a purely battery-operated vehicle (BEV). This indicates a massive 1575% increase in demand for BEVs compared to previous years. Hence, the growing trend of vehicle leasing is fueling the expansion of the vehicle diagnostics market.
