Automotive Chassis Dynamometer Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Single Roller, Multi Roller), By Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, Commercial Vehicles) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Automotive chassis dynamometer is also known as rolling-road. It is a mechanical device having a platform with a pair of rollers, braking absorption system and a software that measures torque and power of vehicles. The vehicles are driven onto the metal rollers to test the engines. These metal rollers are connected to an electronic measuring instrument that finds out how much speed, horsepower, or torque the engine is capable of producing by measuring the time taken by the drums to accelerate. Also, the device is capable of analysing suspension problems, environmental performance, and emission performance, tuning the engine and testing vehicle performance. Chassis dynamometers are usually available in two types, such as single row rollers and double row rollers. The OEMs are developing highly accurate and technologically advanced chassis dynamometers owing to which the market is gaining high traction over the past few years. Moreover, the increasing number of sales and production of automobiles owing to the rapid development such as high performance, fuel efficient, light weight as well as integration of technologically advanced systems. All these factors are creating high demand for automotive chassis dynamometers in the global market.

Various advantages of chassis dynamometer such as high accuracy of the measurement, easy upgradable system, and modular solutions are some of the major factors driving the growth of chassis dynamometer in the global market. Besides, high labour cost as well as growing automation are also estimated to propel the growth of chassis dynamometers market over the forecast period. However, the high risk of incorrect data, software failure, as well as frictional and mechanical losses in vehicle components may hamper the growth of the chassis dynamometers market. 

Market Segmentation:

Globally, the automotive chassis dynamometer market is segmented by product type, by vehicle, and by geographic coverage. The product type is further segmented into single roller and multi roller system. The multiple roller is anticipated to dominate the global market during the forecast period owing to the development of power wheels in vehicles. As the vehicles have power wheels, the performance of the vehicle is enhanced to a great extent. In multiple roller chassis dynamometer, there are rollers in the front as well as on the rear of the platform to spin all the four wheels of the vehicle. This system is capable in providing drive input and measuring output such as power and torque at the wheels. The OEMs are developing more robust, sturdy, high resistant, durable, high performance and high accurate measuring rollers to fulfil the demands of their valued customers. The vehicle type is further divided into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The passenger car segment holds the maximum share of the global automotive chassis dynamometer market. The increasing urbanization, improved standard of living, developing road infrastructures and rise in the income level are the foremost factor that are leveraging the growth of passenger cars in the global market. Also, the rising popularity for fuel efficient and high performance vehicles are gaining attention of young population leading to the growth of passenger cars and thereby creating high penetration of automotive chassis dynamometer in the automotive industry.
