The automotive dynamometer market has expanded rapidly in recent years, illustrating its importance in testing and maximizing performance in vehicles. The automotive dynamo sector includes a broad range of applications, including engine testing, emissions testing, and assessing powertrain efficiency (among others).
Overall, market size growth in the global automotive dynamometer industry will be stable with steady year-to-year growth driven by increased demand from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), automotive testing centers, and mandates by government agencies to comply with stringent emission standards. Expanding vehicle production, combined with the adoption of advanced testing technologies, continues to drive the scale of the market globally.
Dynamometer market expansion and the growth of dyno use can be supported by a number of factors, from advances in the automobile industry to the movement toward electric and hybrid vehicles. Automotive manufacturers have heavily investigated highly accurate research testing equipment to determine how to increase fuel consumption. Stricter environmental regulations across the globe pushed manufacturers to provide better performance for vehicles, which increases demand for dynos.
The increase in motorsports/racing also pushes demand for performance testing equipment. Finally, another contributing factor to the use and demand for dynamometers is the off-road and heavy vehicles industry, which are becoming improved vehicles, thus having greater demand and a greater necessity for the dynamometer.
The future for dynamometers looks bright as new trends and technologies change the automotive sector. A major trend is further incorporation of software-based technologies like machine learning and real-time analytics with dynamometer testing for better accuracy. Also, with further advancements in electric vehicle testing which involve regenerative braking simulation and battery performance testing will see the majority of the level of investment.
Investment centers globally will continue to shift towards Asia-Pacific, with new vehicle production and testing facilities rapidly developed in China and India. The automotive sector is clearly turning towards more automation and digitalization in testing processes. The engineering side highlights the importance of continued research and development (R&D). Therefore, dynamometers will continue to play a key role in driving the automotive sector forward.
