DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Lifespan Of Vehicles to Boost The Market Growth

One of the main factors driving the Automotive Load Battery Testers Market growth is the increase in the lifespan of vehicles, which increases the number of vehicles in use in several countries. The increase in the life expectancy of cars, which leads to an increase in the number of vehicles, is one of the key factors affecting the expansion of the industry. The growing car fleet increases the demand for car repair and maintenance services. The increase in the number of cars is mainly due to the increase in the average life of the vehicle. Passenger vehicles such as sports utility vehicles (SUVs), multipurpose vehicles (MPVs), crossovers and pickup trucks have gained popularity worldwide. Such vehicles require regular maintenance compared to other passenger cars. As a result, the need for auto parts such as battery repair services is increasing. Later, it also feeds the market of car testers. Modern vehicles have a rigid structure, a long service life and a very durable engine and are serviced at regular intervals. This has extended the life of vehicles as consumers can use their vehicles for longer. Therefore, the demand for car repair and maintenance services is increasing worldwide.

Increasing Electrification Of Vehicles to Propel The Growth Of The Market

As electric cars (EVs) and hybrids grow in popularity there has been a growing demand for specialized battery testers tailored to the unique needs of EV batteries. Electric cars require special test equipment due to their higher voltage and different battery chemistry. Therefore, demand for advanced battery testers is expected to drive market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Developing Supercapacitors And Economic Uncertainty to Hinder Market Expansion

Developing supercapacitors to replace batteries is the market's biggest hurdle. Lead-acid batteries have an inherently low power density, so their charge and discharge rates are slow. Their ability to store energy during their lives is reduced due to material damage. Due to many charge and discharge cycles, the chemical compounds inside the battery also degrade over time. Economic fluctuations and uncertainty can reduce consumer spending and investments in automotive services and equipment, including battery testing. During an economic downturn, consumers and businesses may prefer significant spending, leading to a slowdown in demand for emergency car care tools, which may hamper market growth.
