Vehicle diagnostics involves the systematic identification, analysis, and resolution of issues or malfunctions within a vehicle's systems, components, and subsystems. This process empowers mechanics, technicians, and automotive professionals to accurately diagnose and rectify problems pertaining to critical aspects such as the engine, transmission, braking system, electrical system, emissions system, and other vital components.
Key products of vehicle diagnostics include the OBD2 scanner, multi-system auto diagnostic tool, OBDII scanner Bluetooth automotive ECU coding diagnostic tool, OBD2 car code reader or scan tool, OBD2 adapter check engine diagnostic tool, smartphone diagnostic tool, and various other diagnostic products. Additionally, exhaust gas analyzers are utilized to measure and analyze the composition of exhaust gases emitted by vehicles, aiding in assessing engine performance and emissions levels. Different types of vehicles involved in vehicle diagnostics encompass light-duty vehicles, commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. Various equipment such as exhaust gas analyzers, wheel alignment equipment, headlight testers, paint scan equipment, and dynamometers are employed for tasks ranging from automatic crash notification and vehicle tracking to vehicle health alert monitoring and roadside assistance.

The increasing prevalence of vehicle leasing is poised to drive growth within the vehicle diagnostics market in the foreseeable future. Vehicle leasing entails a contractual arrangement wherein a lessee rents a vehicle from a lessor for a specified duration, typically ranging from months to years. This surge in vehicle leasing is attributed to various factors such as access to newer vehicles, reduced maintenance costs, flexibility, and tax benefits, particularly for businesses. Vehicle diagnostics play a critical role in vehicle leasing by ensuring the maintenance and performance of leased vehicles. This enables lessors to monitor vehicle health, detect issues promptly, and optimize fleet management to ensure efficient and reliable operation throughout the leasing period. For example, data from MotorFinanceOnline, powered by Verdict Media Limited, revealed that in the initial six months of 2022, 1 out of every 5 (20%) new leasing clients were seeking to lease a pure battery electric vehicle (BEV), indicating a notable surge of 1575% in BEV demand compared to previous years and underscoring the pivotal role of rising vehicle leasing in propelling growth within the vehicle diagnostics market.
