ADAS Test Equipment Market

The ADAS test equipment market is projected to reach USD 5.3 billion by 2032.

The ADAS test equipment market is rapidly expanding, driven by the adoption of higher levels of driving automation (L2+ and L3), which introduce greater system complexity. Vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and EQS, certified for L3 in Germany and parts of the US, along with the BMW 7 Series, which combines L2 and L3 features, highlight this shift toward increased autonomy. Chinese OEMs such as Zeekr, Xpeng, and GAC are also advancing toward L3 deployment, while BYD aims to integrate ADAS features across its entire lineup. These advancements necessitate more rigorous testing due to the complex integration of multiple sensors, advanced software algorithms, and real-time data processing in unpredictable environments. Companies like AB Dynamics, DORLECO, and Oxford Technical Solutions Ltd offer a range of solutions, including Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), and component-level ADAS testing. This growth is further fueled by the push toward higher levels of vehicle autonomy, which require more sensors, complex software, and integration-demanding more rigorous and extensive testing. This growth is clear from recent solution launches and partnerships: AB Dynamics rolled out automated testing tools for new safety standards in January 2025, Rohde & Schwarz introduced a radar testing solution in September 2024, and Ansys teamed up with Cognata and Microsoft to offer cloud-based virtual ADAS sensor testing in February 2025. These updates show that the need for advanced ADAS testing equipment is only set to increase worldwide.

Hardware-in-the-loop testing segment is expected to grow faster during the forecast period

The HIL testing segment of the ADAS Test Equipment market is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period due to the progression of vehicles with increasingly complex ADAS and autonomous systems. HIL testing allows manufacturers to simulate real-world driving scenarios in a lab, making it a safer, faster, and more cost-effective way to test hardware and software before hitting the road. Several global companies are driving this growth, including Vector Informatik and dSPACE from Germany, and Applied Intuition and GlobalLogic from the US, all offering advanced HIL solutions for testing ADAS functions like sensor fusion and control systems. Recent events also highlight this trend—Rohde & Schwarz demonstrated its latest HIL and sensor fusion technologies at CES 2025, showing how these tools help speed up vehicle development and meet new safety standards. With growing industry demand and rapid tech progress, HIL testing is becoming a key part of ADAS development and is set to be one of the fastest-growing areas in the market.

Driver Monitoring System (DMS) testing to drive demand during the forecast period.

The EU's mandate for DMS in new vehicles is driving rapid growth in the market for DMS testing equipment. These systems test the accuracy and reliability of driver attentiveness detection under various conditions. Key technologies such as vision simulation, biometric emulators, hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) setups, and AI validation tools as used to test this technology. Testing rigs simulate distractions, drowsiness, and environmental factors like low light or heat. As OEMs rush to meet compliance, demand for turnkey and customizable testing solutions is rising. Companies such as Emotion 3D (Austria), Controlar (Portugal), and Arctictem Solutions (Germany) are working to provide best-in-class DMS test equipment. Partnerships between service providers, sensor manufacturers, and test equipment vendors are driving innovation for this technology. Third-party labs and certification bodies are also expanding capacity to support validation efforts, particularly across Europe.

“Asia Pacific is estimated to be the market leader over the forecast period.”

The Asia Pacific region is set to lead the global market for ADAS Test Equipment during the forecast period, mainly due to new and stricter safety regulations being introduced in several countries. Governments across the region are pushing for stronger vehicle safety standards, which now include thorough testing of ADAS features—making regulatory compliance a key factor driving market growth, beyond just the rising adoption of ADAS technologies in countries like China, Japan, and India. Chinese OEMs are accelerating this trend by bringing ADAS across all vehicle segments, including entry-level cars. For instance, in February 2025, BYD announced its God’s Eye ADAS system, with a more affordable triple-camera version, God’s Eye C (DiPilot 100), set to feature in lower-cost models. The facelifted BYD Atto 3, revealed the same month, was among the first to include this system—demonstrating how ADAS is becoming more accessible in mass-market vehicles. Several local companies are playing a major role in this space. For instance, DigAuto in China runs a service center that provides full support and spare parts for ADAS and autonomous driving test solutions, while Anritsu in Japan offers high-tech ADAS testing tools for manufacturers. A major milestone for the region came in February 2025, when Bharat NCAP—India’s new car safety rating program—announced that it would begin testing ADAS features as part of its updated evaluation process. These developments, coupled with supportive regulatory frameworks and a rising emphasis on vehicle safety, position Asia Pacific as the dominant force in the global ADAS test equipment market over the coming years.

The ADAS Test Equipment market is expected to be dominated by major players, including AB Dynamics (UK), VBOX Automotive (UK), Vector Informatik GmbH (Germany), Dewesoft (Slovenia), Keysight Technologies (US), Rohde & Schwarz (Germany) and more. These companies are driving innovation in ADAS testing through a mix of collaborative and individual advancements. Rohde & Schwarz and Dürr have developed integrated OTA vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL) solutions for efficient end-of-line and periodic inspection testing, improving cost-effectiveness and accuracy. At the same time, VBOX Automotive and Dewesoft are enhancing vehicle data collection and analysis through next-gen tools like the VBOX 4 ADAS data logger and DewesoftX testing software—delivering high-precision, end-to-end ADAS validation platforms. Together, these developments reflect a broader shift toward smarter, more scalable ADAS testing solutions.
