Market Overview:
The global automotive on-board diagnostics (OBD) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles, and rising awareness about vehicle health among consumers. The global automotive OBD market is segmented by type into hand-held scan tools, mobile device (phone or tablet)-based tools, PC/laptop based scan tools, and others. The hand-held scan tool segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period owing to its low cost and easy portability. However, mobile device (phone or tablet)-based tools are expected to grow at a higher CAGR due to their growing popularity among consumers for their ease of use and features such as real-time tracking of engine performance parameters. The global automotive OBD market is also segmented by application into passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle segments. The passenger vehicle segment dominates the overall automotive OBD market owing to high demand for these vehicles across all regions globally.

Product Definition:
OBD is a computer-based system that monitors the performance of some components in a vehicle. OBD II, the most common type of OBD, was introduced in 1996 and became required on all passenger vehicles sold in the United States starting with the 1998 model year.
OBD systems can monitor things like engine temperature, how much fuel is being consumed, and how much air is being drawn into the engine. When a problem is detected, an indicator light on the dashboard will typically turn on to let you know something needs attention.
Most automakers offer free software updates for their vehicles’ OBD systems; these updates can correct problems or add features to your car’s computer system. In many cases, you don’t even need to take your car to a dealership—you can simply download and install the update yourself using a USB cable connected from your computer to your car’s diagnostic port (which is usually located under or nearthe steering wheel).
Hand-Held Scan Tools:
Hand-held scan tools are used for accessing data from on-board diagnostic systems of vehicles. They are widely used in the automotive industry to diagnose vehicle malfunctions. The global hand-held scan tool market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to its features such as portability, ease of use, and cost effectiveness.
Mobile Device (Phone or Tablet) -Based Tools:
The global mobile device (phone or tablet) -based tools and it's usage in Automotive On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The major factor that propels the growth of this market includes growing demand for smartphones with large displays, which makes them suitable for automotive applications.
Application Insights:
The on-board diagnostics market has been segmented into two applications, namely the passenger vehicle and the commercial vehicle. In 2017, the passenger vehicle segment dominated the overall OBD market with a share of over 90% in terms of revenue. The growing need for advanced diagnostics tools among consumers is one of the major factors driving this growth. Furthermore, an increase in production and sales volumes across all brands globally has also paved way for technological advancements which are subsequently adopted by manufacturers across all regions.
Passenger vehicles make up a majority part of any modern automotive fleet; they are usually more expensive than commercial vehicles but offer higher safety standards owing to their ability to transport passengers from one place to another without having drivers along side them at all times (in case of trucks/lorries).
Regional Analysis:
The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to lead the global market in terms of revenue over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing sales of vehicles in China and India. In 2016, sales of passenger cars and commercial vehicles increased by 6% and 9%, respectively, as compared to 2015. Furthermore, growing penetration rate for OBD2 technology along with rising demand for advanced safety systems is expected to drive the regional market further.
Europe accounted for a significant share in 2016 owing to stringent government regulations regarding vehicle emissions coupled with implementation of real-time monitoring systems across all new diesel engines introduced from 2017 model year onwards within Europe Union countries. Moreover, presence of major automotive manufacturers such as Daimler AG; Ford Motor Company; BMW Group; Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for passenger cars and commercial vehicles
- Stringent government regulations for vehicle emissions control
- Growing demand for advanced safety features in automobiles
- Proliferation of internet-of-things (IoT) and connected cars
- Development of next-generation OBD systems
