Cloud-based garage management provider explores the size of the market

Experts analyses ADAS repair and maintenance market
The global ADAS Market was valued at $25,116 million in 2016.

Systems to aid the driver with everything from accident avoidance to staying in lane are commonplace on modern vehicles and are now considered a vital stepping stone on the road to autonomous driving, reports Autino, the creators of cloud-based garage management, CarVue.

An Autino spokesperson said: “The ADAS market is big business for component manufacturers with the global ADAS Market valued at $25,116 million in 2016, and predicted to reach at $143,051 million by 2025, growing 21.2 per cent from 2017 to 2025.

“Legislation is also driving the ADAS market, the EU, for example, has identified 11 ADAS safety measures it wants fitted to all cars by 2021.”

ADAS includes autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assistance and fatigue monitoring systems, all of which will be mandatory on new cars if proposals are given the green light.

Automatic emergency braking has been included in the European New Car Assessment Programme test procedure since 2014 and with manufacturers keen to achieve the highest Euro NCAP safety rating, it has helped drive wider ADAS introduction.

ADAS calibration

The spokesperson added: “Although a step in the road to autonomous driving, ADAS cannot simply be configured and left.

“Calibration in the workshop is still required and arguably offers an additional revenue stream for dealers.

“In the same way as other vehicle parts need repair and maintenance, ADAS will sometimes need attention from specially trained technicians with the right equipment and diagnostics.”

A number of companies are providing ADAS calibration equipment to enable garages to carry out diagnostics and repairs.

According to one supplier, ADAS calibration can attract a price tag of £250 yet leasing calibration and diagnostic equipment can be as little as £75 per week.

The spokesperson added: “ADAS calibration can also lead to other work needing to be undertaken such as wheel alignment whilst different ADAS equipment need different levels of calibration depending on their complexity and some sensors will require road testing.

“Providing ADAS calibration can also provide added value for customers and the more they understand about the different systems and what’s needed to keep them functioning at their optimum, the more likely they will agree to such work being undertaken in the workshop.”
