This evolution in the automotive landscape is prompting changes in garage equipment to comply with environmental regulations and cater to shifting consumer preferences for safety and efficiency. For instance, Gerber Injury Law, an Arizona-based law firm, predicts the production of self-driving cars to reach 800,000 units worldwide between 2023 and 2030. Additionally, Carsurance, an online platform providing information on car insurance, forecasts a 16% annual growth in the autonomous vehicle industry. Consequently, the advent of autonomous vehicles stands as a key driver in the growth of the automotive garage equipment market.

The increasing sales of pre-owned vehicles are anticipated to drive the growth of the automotive garage equipment market in the foreseeable future. Pre-owned vehicles, commonly known as used cars, are those that have been previously owned and utilized by individuals or businesses before being made available for resale. Automotive garage equipment plays a crucial role in the pre-owned vehicle market by facilitating the inspection, diagnosis, and maintenance processes. These tools are utilized to identify and address any issues, ensuring that the vehicles meet safety and performance standards before being reintroduced to the market. For instance, data from Cox Automotive, a US-based system software company, indicates that total used car sales reached 40.9 million vehicles in January 2022. Moreover, daily sales increased by 1.44 million units in 2023, reflecting a 6% growth from the previous year. As a result, the upward trajectory in pre-owned vehicle sales is a significant driver behind the expansion of the automotive garage equipment market.

Major players in the automotive garage equipment market are actively innovating by introducing cutting-edge solutions, including automated car washing. Automatic car washing involves a facility or system designed to clean vehicles' exteriors without manual intervention, utilizing automated equipment and machinery for the cleaning process. For example, in November 2021, Istobal, a Spain-based car wash equipment manufacturer, unveiled M WASH4, a state-of-the-art rollover system featuring advanced technology, efficiency, and innovation. M WASH4 enhances car cleaning efficiency while minimizing the time required for the process. This system promotes high-quality car washing and drying in a sustainable manner, with reduced water, energy, and chemical consumption. Notable features include integrated wheel washing, wider vertical brushes for convenient vehicle positioning and exit, secure access for maintenance, and an overall safer user experience.

Leading companies in the automotive garage equipment market are at the forefront of introducing advanced solutions, such as mobile column lift adapter kits. These kits are essential equipment in automotive garages, specifically designed to facilitate the servicing of forklifts and pallet movers. They are engineered for user-friendly operation, contributing to minimized downtime and increased overall productivity. As an example, in August 2021, Dover Corporation, a prominent US-based industrial product manufacturer, unveiled the FCHW13 and FCHW18 models in adapter kits. These mobile column lifts cater to heavy-duty applications, with the FCHW13 boasting a 13,000 lbs capacity per column and the FCHW18 featuring an 18,000 lbs capacity per column. The adapter kits encompass these models, providing a frame-engaging solution that requires no additional floor space. This innovation offers a convenient and space-saving solution for material handlers, maintenance technicians, manufacturers, and logistics operators.
