According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global OBD II Scanners market size was valued at US$ 1695 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 2579 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.8% during review period.
In 2025, global sales of OBD II scanners are projected to reach 4.87 million units, with an average price of $338.3 per unit and a gross profit margin of 29%-38%. As a standard diagnostic tool mandated in most regions globally, the OBD II scanner is a portable diagnostic device used to read vehicle "Check Engine" diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), clear fault lights, and monitor engine and emission system status in real time. It typically connects to the vehicle via a standard OBD-II interface and is compatible with almost all vehicles manufactured after 1996. Known for their ease of use and cost-effectiveness, they are popular among DIY car owners and chain repair shops. OBD II scanners are a type of fault detection tool developed based on OBD-II and related on-board diagnostic standards. By communicating with the vehicle's ECU (Electronic Control Unit), they can read fault codes, real-time sensor data, and perform some functional tests. They are widely used in automotive aftermarket repair, fleet management, owner self-diagnosis, and emissions testing. In a typical automotive repair shop, each repair bay is usually equipped with at least 1-2 scanners, making them an indispensable basic diagnostic tool.
The production capacity of complete vehicles and parts has shifted from Europe, the United States, and Japan to China, Mexico, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia, resulting in the formation of complete automotive industry chains and a massive installed base in these regions. This industrial transfer has two direct consequences: firstly, local vehicle and parts manufacturers have extensively adopted ECUs, sensors, and drive-by-wire systems, leading to a rapid increase in vehicle electronic sophistication, with OBD interfaces becoming standard; secondly, after-sales service networks have rapidly formed around these emerging production bases, and a large number of small and medium-sized repair shops and chain stores require universal OBD scanners to cover multiple vehicle brands. Simultaneously, consumer upgrading has led car owners to place greater emphasis on driving experience and safety, no longer satisfied with simply "being able to drive," and their willingness to pay for services such as fault light elimination, fuel consumption optimization, emissions testing, and used car inspection has increased. This has forced repair shops to upgrade from simple fault light eliminators to OBD II scanners with data stream capabilities, bidirectional control, and system-level diagnostics. The combination of industrial transfer and consumer upgrading has transformed OBD II scanners from "optional gadgets" into essential diagnostic tools in emerging automotive markets, providing a long-term and sustainable demand base for the industry. Against the backdrop of continuously strengthening emissions regulations and repair compliance, OBD, as a legally mandated on-board self-diagnostic system, ensures that universal scanners are "essential tools." For example, US regulations have specific requirements for key OBD functions (MIL, DTC, etc.), and European type approval regulations further require the provision of standardized, non-discriminatory access to OBD and repair information for independent repair shops, directly expanding the demand for tools in independent repair and multi-brand service scenarios.
