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.
The automotive sled testing system market appears to be concentrated with the presence of few players who account for significant market shares. The vendors in this market cater to the needs of several industries, such as aerospace, defense, and other manufacturing sectors. This market is witnessing rapid technological innovations and the vendors are making investment towards the development of innovative design in terms of size, weight, and the versatility of the tests. The high growth potential of the market encourages new entrants to enter the sled test system market, which in turn, intensifies the competition among the vendors.
The leading vendors in the market are
The other prominent vendors in the market are APV Tech Centre, S-E-A, BIA, and Exponent.
In EMEA, the European Union (EU) countries and the U.K. will be the major revenue contributors to this market as major automotive OEMs including Volkswagen, Daimler, Geely, and BMW are located in this region. Europe introduced stringent safety norms that demand the need for highly-efficient vehicle testing. According to this market research report, this region will account for the major shares of this sled test system market throughout the next few years.
With the increasing demand for efficiency and performance from sled systems for offset, narrow offset, angled and compatibility crash modes, the coming years will witness the demand for the development of sled systems with DoF (degrees of freedom). Companies are already analyzing several vehicles and crash tests to develop a set of pitch and yaw data and create a system that envelopes each of 6 DoF. Owing to developments the ability to use these occupant protection systems for the laboratory optimization of passive safety systems will increase in the coming years.
