The market is witnessing rapid growth with the rise of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and the increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries. Key players like AVL are integrating AI and IoT into battery testing equipment to ensure battery safety and security. This market is driven by the need for accurate assessment of battery condition and detection of flaws. With advancements in digitalization and electrification, there's a growing focus on stationary battery testing equipment for various applications, from urban mobility infrastructure to rechargeable batteries used in watches, flashlights, and clocks. Our researchers analyzed the market research and growth data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the major factors driving the market growth is the rising lifespan of vehicles, which is consequently increasing the number of vehicles in operation in several countries. Modern vehicles have rigid construction, a long-lasting and highly durable engine, and undergo regular maintenance at periodic intervals. This has led to an increase in the lifespan of vehicles, as consumers can keep their vehicles in operation for a longer period of time. Hence, the demand for automotive repair and maintenance services is rising across the world.
Passenger cars and utility vehicles such as sports-utility vehicles (SUVs), multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), crossovers, and pickup trucks are also becoming popular in the global automotive market. This creates a high demand for preventive maintenance services for essential automotive components such as batteries. Such factors are increasing the need for battery-testing equipment, which is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
The development of touchscreen battery testers is the primary trend in the market. Customers globally are well-versed in the use of the touchscreen interface. Touchscreen displays have been widely adopted across various devices, including smartphones, and they allow companies to manage space constraints on electronic devices.
For instance, traditional testers with buttons as an interface require multiple buttons for various functionalities. This led to less amount of space for the display, which proved inconvenient for technicians and customers. On the other hand, a touchscreen display interface allows the addition of multiple functions in a diagnostic service system in a convenient way. Hence, it is expected that other prominent companies will adopt this technology, which, in turn, will positively impact the market during the forecast period.
The development of supercapacitors to replace batteries is the major challenge impeding the market. Lead-acid batteries inherently have low power density, hence their charge and discharge rates are slow. Their ability to retain energy throughout their lifetime deteriorates due to material damage. Also, due to the numerous charge and discharge cycles, the chemical compounds inside the battery degrade over time.
In a supercapacitor, the energy is stored electrostatically on the surface of the material and does not involve any chemical reaction. Supercapacitors have a high-power density. They can be charged quickly, and they release the power in fast bursts of current. Hence, supercapacitors are gaining prominence in the automotive industry which will challenge the demand for batteries and negatively impact the adoption of testers during the forecast period.
The market forecasting report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their market growth and forecasting strategies.

APAC is estimated to contribute 50% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
APAC is the fastest-growing region in the global market. The region is a high-volume adopter of passenger cars and CVs. Moreover, passenger cars in several APAC countries are used for short-distance commuting with high traffic congestion. This results in incomplete charging of vehicle batteries and leads to sulfation. In addition, most vehicles in APAC belong to the entry-level and mid-level segments, which have batteries that only perform rudimentary functions and require regular maintenance and servicing. Hence, APAC is expected to witness an increased number of failures during the forecast period, resulting in an increase in the requirement for frequent testing of vehicle batteries. Therefore, APAC is expected to experience high growth in the demand for testers during the forecast period.
