Global Automotive Sled Testing System Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global automotive sled testing systems market

Sled systems are quite expensive and also require a considerable amount of space for installation. This makes it difficult for systems upgrades. For instance, the upgradation of pitch simulation requires a new sled system. To overcome such challenges, the vendors in this marketspace are focusing on introducing cost-efficient solutions by providing add-ons to the existing sled systems. These add-ons can be installed and removed in a less amount of time, which makes them easy to use. Moreover, they also do not involve any fixed equipment that blocks camera views or access to the sleds. Seattle Safety has already developed an innovative Dynamic Pitch upgrade, which is an economical add-on accessory for its existing sleds. With the introduction of such economical packages to upgrade the existing sled equipment, the demand for automotive sled systems will subsequently increase in the coming years. Our market research analysts estimate that this market will grow steadily at a CAGR of almost 12% by 2021.

According to this market research and analysis, the use of data logging will play a significant role in sled testing during the next few years. The automotive industry is witnessing a rising need for a system that takes data directly from a variety of sensors placed on the test rig and feeds the test report into a single integrated open system. Sled testing is demanding the need for accurate, timely, and quick data logging to analyze and develop the specimen under test. A leading company in data acquisition systems and smart sensors, Diversified Technical Systems (DTS), already provides small crashworthy systems that are mounted on the test article to record and log every possible data for analyzing the test conducted.
