A vehicle scanner is a device designed to scan the onboard diagnostics (OBD) system in an automobile, capturing and storing data from the electronic control units (ECU), which are small computers overseeing the micro-functions of different vehicle components. These scanners typically establish a connection with the vehicle's electronic modules by plugging into a specific port located within the vehicle's cabin, enabling the detection and resolution of issues within the vehicle.
The primary types of vehicle scanners include portable scanners and fixed scanners. A portable scanner is a handheld device capable of scanning papers, photos, and other media. Structural variations encompass drive-through and under-vehicle surveillance systems (UVSS). These systems consist of components such as a camera, lighting unit, barrier, software, and others, utilizing diverse technologies such as sensing, illuminating, scanning, imaging, and processing. They find applications in areas such as government or critical infrastructure protection, as well as in private or commercial facilities.

This vehicle scanner market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The vehicle scanner market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.41 billion in 2023 to $2.57 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The historical period's growth can be attributed to factors such as security concerns, heightened traffic at entry points, regulatory compliance, the growing threats of contraband, and infrastructure development.
The vehicle scanner market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.23 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to factors such as the increasing volume of global trade, measures for preventing terrorism, urbanization, population growth, enhancements in customs and border control, and pandemic response measures. Noteworthy trends in the forecast period encompass collaborations in cross-border security, integration of technology, advancements in technology, integration with other security technologies, and the adoption of green and radiation-free technologies.
The anticipated growth in the vehicle scanner market is expected to be propelled by increasing security concerns. Security concerns involve temporary measures by law enforcement or security authorities to shield a person or location from potential harm when there is a perceived threat. Vehicle scanners play a crucial role in searching for contraband, illegal narcotics, weapons, and other hazardous items during inspections of containers and vehicles. Due to heightened security concerns related to issues such as illegal drug trafficking, many locations, including seaports, are likely to continue using vehicle scanners as a precautionary measure. For example, in June 2023, data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection database, a U.S.-based government agency, indicated a significant increase in arrests of criminal noncitizens from 2,438 in 2020 to 12,028 in 2022. Offenses related to illegal drug possession and trafficking saw a surge from 386 in 2020 to 2,239 in 2022, while illicit possession of weapons, transport, and trafficking increased from 49 in 2020 to 309 in 2022. Additionally, illegal entry and reentry rose from 1,261 in 2020 to 6,797 in 2022. Consequently, the rising security concerns are a driving force behind the growth of the vehicle scanner market.
The expansion of the automotive industry is poised to contribute to the growth of the vehicle scanner market. The automotive industry encompasses various companies and organizations engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, selling, repairing, and modification of motor vehicles. Vehicle scanners in the automotive industry play a crucial role in ensuring enhanced security, facilitating efficient inspections, and detecting potential threats, thereby contributing to overall safety and regulatory compliance. As an illustration, in October 2023, data from The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders Limited, a UK-based trade association, projected total car manufacturing to reach 751,422 units in 2023, reflecting a growth of 16.70% from the previous year's 643,755 units. Hence, the expanding automotive industry is a significant driver of the vehicle scanner market's growth.
Technological advancements stand out as a prominent trend gaining traction in the vehicle scanner market. Major companies operating in this market are actively developing and incorporating new technologies to maintain their competitive positions. For example, in December 2022, Vehant Technologies, an India-based vehicle security company, introduced the DepScan UVSS (Under Vehicle Scanning System). This innovative system utilizes stereoscopic vision technology to thoroughly scan the underside of vehicles, enhancing reliability and automation in under-vehicle inspections at checkpoints. The technology involves generating a point cloud-based 3D model that captures relative depth information through a disparity map.
Major players in the vehicle scanner market are placing a heightened focus on introducing advanced diagnostic tools such as the ADS 625X diagnostic scan tool to gain a competitive advantage. The ADS 625X tool, launched by Germany-based company Robert Bosch GmbH in March 2021, represents the next generation of Bosch diagnostics. This state-of-the-art automotive diagnostic device is designed for efficient and accurate analysis, troubleshooting, and diagnosis of vehicle systems, supporting comprehensive maintenance and repairs. Noteworthy features of the ADS 625X tool include a large 10' high-resolution display, a charging station, and a wireless VCI for convenient access and charging. It offers extreme flexibility, speed, and access for automotive professionals, with flexible subscriptions and ADAS software options. The tool provides OEM-level vehicle coverage, supporting scanning, fixing, and diagnostics for domestic, Asian, and European vehicles.
