The wheel aligner equipment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Recent years have seen a solid growth in the size of the wheel aligner equipment market. The market is projected to expand from a value of $1.51 billion in 2024 to $1.62 billion in 2025, experiencing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%.
Multiple factors have contributed to this historic growth, including increased demand for heavy-duty wheel aligners, the expansion of the motorsports industry, the rising need for multi-functional alignment systems, increased consumption of commercial vehicles, and a surge in demand for electric vehicles (EVs).
The wheel aligner equipment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of wheel aligner equipment is anticipated to witness robust growth in the forthcoming years. The market is projected to surge to $1.98 billion by 2029, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.2%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the forecast period include an increase in automotive repairs, a rise in vehicle production, more complex vehicle suspension systems, an upswing in disposable income, and escalating demand for multi-functional alignment systems. Technological progressions, vehicle diagnostic systems, mobile wheel aligners, software-aligned solutions, and integration of telematics constitute the prominent trends to look out for in the forecast period.
The burgeoning demand in the automotive sector is set to drive the expansion of the wheel alignment equipment market. The automotive sector, which covers the conception, production, promotion, and sale of vehicles and related parts such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, is witnessing a surge in demand. This growth can be attributed to factors such as higher disposable income, urbanization, governmental incentives, and a rising demand for commercial vehicles in sectors like e-commerce and logistics. The wheel alignment equipment plays a crucial role in the automotive sector, as it adjusts the wheel's angles to optimize security, fuel efficiency, as well as extend the life of the tire. This makes it indispensable to service stations, repair garages, and production facilities. For example, in January 2025, the UK’s car and light vehicle manufacturing is forecasted to hit around 839,000 units, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, a trade organization based in the UK. It is projected to increase to 930,000 units by 2027 and then surge past 1.1 million by 2030. Hence, the escalating demand from the automotive sector is propelling the growth of the wheel alignment equipment market.
