Automotive Garage Equipment Market

Automotive garage equipment refers to the tools, machines, and other products used in the maintenance or repair of automobiles. This includes tools used for diagnostics, maintenance, and repair. It also includes tools used for lubricating, cleaning, and inspecting vehicle components. Some of the automotive garage equipment include wheel balancer, tire changer, alignment machine, vehicle lift, air compressor, diagnostics scanner, jacks and stands, engine hoist, battery charger, hydraulic fluid extractor, and others. The global automotive garage equipment market has been segmented by different equipment types namely vehicle diagnostic & testing equipment, lifting equipment, wheel & tire service equipment,  body shop equipment, washing equipment, and others in the report.
 
The market growth is attributed to the growing demand for vehicle maintenance, increasing number of vehicles, and rising number of service stations. Increasing demand for technological advancements in garage equipment, such as wheel balancers, wheel aligners, and tire changers, is also expected to drive the growth of the automotive garage equipment market. Furthermore, the increasing number of government initiatives for vehicle safety and emission checks is also expected to fuel the demand for automotive garage equipment. Governments in various countries such as the International Council on Clean Transportation in Europe and National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration in the U.S., Central Pollution Control Board in India, and others have introduced stringent vehicle regulations for vehicle safety and fuel efficiency. Such regulations have compelled automotive garage equipment manufacturers to invest more in advanced equipment to offer efficient repair and maintenance services. As vehicular pollution control is among the major concerns now-a-days, the emission testing equipment are gaining traction in the market. For instance, in September 2022, Continental AG launched two exhaust emissions testers for car workshops namely the DX280 DC and the CCP800 at Automechanika 2022 in Frankfurt, Germany. These products are aimed at equipping the German automotive workshops with upcoming automotive regulations.
 
Furthermore, the companies need to comply with some regulations related to health and safety, hence the garage should be well-equipped and maintained & inspected regularly. Some of these regulations include the lifting operations and lifting equipment regulations 1998, the provision and use of work equipment regulations to minimize vehicle damage, and others. However, the high cost associated with the installation of garage equipment is expected to restrain the growth of this market.
 
Digitalization in Automotive Industry
Digitalization in automotive industry is growing rapidly, therefore the vehicle repair and maintenance required advanced diagnostic tools such as vehicle instrument console, ADAS repair system, and digital lock repair. Moreover, the increasing number of road accidents further generating the need of regular repair and maintenance of vehicles. For instance, in August 2021, Forward Lift Company launched new frame-engaging mobile column lift adapter, that allows technicians to easily lift and repair forklifts.
