REPORT SCOPE

The global dynamometer market has been bifurcated based on its construction type such as
absorption, transmission or motoring. Further segmentation is done on the basis of mechanism
it uses to develop resistance/friction such as solid friction that uses rope, prony or fan brakes to
provide resistance; hydraulic/liquid friction; friction by generating eddy current either through
hysteresis, magnetic powder, dry or wet gap. Market is also broken down to torque or power
generation requirements, end user industries such as automobile, manufacturing and medical
fields.
As such there is no dominant key player in the dynamometer market which makes geographic
analysis of the market very important. The global market is being segmented into continents
such as North and South America, Europe and Asia Pacific depending upon the research and
testing facilities these continents have for varied industries. The prominent players in the market
are Horiba, Kistler, Dynocom Inc., Kahn Industries, MAHA Maschinenbau Haldenwang
GmbH, Dyne Systems, Mustang, Meiden America, Taylor Dynamometers etc.

STAKEHOLDERS
Product OEMs, Component Suppliers, Service Providers, Maintenance Providers, Research and
Testing Centers, Control System Suppliers forms significant key holders of this market.

REPORT DESCRIPTION

The global dynamometer market is a subset of the allied manufacturing industries such as
turbines, compressors, pumps, generators, motors, engines, power trains that form a significant
component of automobile, power and aerospace industry. It is applied generally to calculate the
force, torque and power requirements from all these components.
The dynamometers play a key role in research and development facilities. With the increasing for
eco-friendly environment while simultaneously improving the quality, the automobile
manufacturers are under a tremendous pressure to improve the engines efficiency while
controlling the noise and emission of exhaust gases. This has forced the automobile
manufacturers either to set up their own testing facility or provide a contract to third party for
dynamometer testing on engines and power trains. On other side it has also paved the way for
electric vehicles running on batteries and motors to emerge out as essential player in automobile
global market. To create new research and concepts in the electric vehicles dynamometers are
being required for testing purposes.
The ever increasing demand for clean power sources particularly the wind, needs huge turbines
and generators to produce power at large scale in an efficient manner. To develop such
infrastructure there is a regular necessity of development facilities incorporating dynamometers
to calculate the torque and power output.
The Machining/Cutting tool industry are thriving based on the recent improvements in
technology to calculate the force and moments acting on the tools while machining process is
carried out. It again uses the multi component dynamometers and force plates for axial force
calculations. The rehabilitation centers working for treating injured muscles and bones include
dynamometers to calculate muscle grip and strength of the patient. The athletes measure their
performance and status on regular basis by utilizing small hand held dynamometers. The global
dynamometer product and services market is estimated to be around $780m in 2013 and is
expected to reach $1.1bn by 2018.

The above table represents the projected forecasts for Global Dynamometer Products and
Services market on the basis of End User Industries for the year 2015, 2017 and 2018 by keeping
2013 as a base year for compounding CAGR.
The global dynamometer market growth is directly proportional to the increase in the industrial
activity of its end users. Most of the revenue in this industry is generated by providing
dynamometer based services for testing, researching and maintaining automotive, aerospace and
power equipments such as turbines, generators, motors, engines, power trains, pumps,
compressors. Rest of the contribution is made by kinesiology and machining industry. Below is a
pie-chart to represent the share of Dynamometer Testing in the End User Industries

Considering after sales service in automotive industry intended for maintenance of cars is rapidly
growing at the rate of 23% annually all over the world. Considering USA and Europe mature
markets, the need for maintenance of cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles is
overwhelming. Customers in these regions are looking for regular service of their vehicles rather
than buying a new one owing to the current struggling economy.

With the strict laws coming up for noise and emission control from vehicles a new field is being
created called as NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harness) where the design of engine and power
train in a vehicle are continuously modified and upgraded. Hence the only device available to
validate the improved performance parameters is a dynamometer. Moreover with the era of
electric vehicles emerging up, dynamometers will become an indispensable part of its
developmental facilities.
The world is now looking up for non conventional power sources such as Wind Power that has
resulted in a lot of research and developments in this particular area. The designs of wind
turbines and generators are consistently improved upon for better efficiency and reducing power
costs on the basis of results achieved by dynamometer testing. The Asia Pacific and South
America are flat growing markets for setting up dynamometer facilities for testing the wind
turbine equipments.
The fast paced and stressful environment in the recent years have made humans more prone to
muscle and bone injuries. The Kinesiology, one of the significant areas of Healthcare services
forms 15% of the world market. It regularly employs small scale dynamometers for measuring
human performance. Biodex has started to manufacture Robotic Dynamometers for
continuously monitoring the patients physical performance.
The Machining/Cutting Tool Industry is on rise due to a rapid demand for complex machining
operations that requires high precision tools. To measure their parameters output in all the axial
directions small multi component dynamometers are attached to them. Kistler is the major
player in dynamic measurement devices in machining operations and has announced its
expansion of German Division owing to the continuous growth in demand for high end
measuring tools.
