Automotive Chassis Dynamometer Market Report 2026

The automotive chassis dynamometer market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $0.21 billion in 2025 to $0.22 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to automotive manufacturing growth, engine performance benchmarking, motorsport development, vehicle emission testing needs, regulatory compliance testing.

The automotive chassis dynamometer market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.25 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle testing demand, autonomous vehicle validation, advanced powertrain development, integration of digital twin testing, stricter emission norms. Major trends in the forecast period include growth of ev powertrain testing, demand for high-precision performance measurement, adoption of advanced dyno software, expansion of motorsport testing facilities, rising use in emission testing.

The burgeoning demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is a significant driving force behind the expansion of the automotive chassis dynamometer market. These vehicles, powered by electric motors utilizing stored electrical energy, heavily rely on chassis dynamometers for comprehensive testing and development. These dynamometers enable the evaluation of vital performance parameters such as electric motor efficiency, regenerative braking, battery management, and overall vehicle dynamics, fostering the optimization of EV design and functionality. Citing a February 2023 article by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, projections suggest that EV sales in the United States are expected to constitute 40% of total passenger car sales by 2030, potentially surpassing 50% in more optimistic scenarios, thereby fueling the demand for automotive chassis dynamometers.

The growing manufacturing of automobiles is expected to drive the expansion of the automotive chassis dynamometer market in the coming years. Automobile manufacturing involves the large-scale production of vehicles, including passenger cars and commercial vehicles, and requires thorough performance, emission, and durability testing before vehicles reach consumers. The increase in automobile manufacturing is fueled by rising mobility requirements, higher income levels, and expanding industrialization, prompting automakers to boost production and adopt advanced testing systems. Automotive chassis dynamometers support the industry by allowing precise measurement of torque, vehicle dynamics, suspension performance, and emission behavior under simulated real-world conditions. For example, in September 2024, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, a Belgium-based European Commission body, car production in the European Union reached 12.2 million units in 2023, representing an 11.6% increase compared with 2022. Therefore, the rising manufacturing of automobiles is contributing to the growth of the automotive chassis dynamometer market.

Leading companies operating in the automotive chassis dynamometer market are concentrating on developing advanced e-mobility testing solutions to improve vehicle performance evaluation and efficiency analysis. E-mobility testing solutions offer accurate simulation of real-world driving conditions for electric and hybrid vehicles, enabling precise measurement of battery power, energy consumption, and vehicle dynamics. For instance, in January 2023, Mustang Advanced Engineering, a US-based engineering firm, introduced the MAE-AWD-150-EV, featuring all-wheel-drive and two-wheel-drive models, multiple AC motor and EC PAU size combinations, and regeneration testing with AC motors. The system supports calibration and certification, efficiency and energy loss analysis, and kWh-per-mile measurement for electric vehicles. It also integrates thermal imaging and vibration analysis, SAE J2264 road load derivations within ±3 lbs nominal, and an optional robot driver for continuous automated driving. The MAE-AWD-150-EV enables rapid development cycles for hybrid and electric vehicle calibrations, traction system motoring, ABS and ESC testing with skid simulation, regenerative braking, limited-traction condition simulations, electrical power system analysis, controller development, efficiency testing, fuel consumption evaluation, and complete vehicle or subsystem assessment. The solution is supported by flexible lab-grade software and data acquisition packages for hardware-in-the-loop and R&D environments, ensuring comprehensive testing capabilities.
