Definition And Overview
The automotive on-board diagnostics refers to the in-vehicle system, which monitors and reports the status of the vehicle. The OBD port and OBD connector provides access to the various vehicle parameters like vehicle speed, emission data, and engine data in the form of diagnostic trouble codes. Diagnosis solves almost every issue with in the vehicle. The OBD system is designed to reduce emissions by monitoring the performance of engine components. OBD system consists of ECU, sensors, and actuators. ECU uses input from the various sensors to control the actuators to get the desired performance. The malfunction indicator light, also known as check engine light, represents the early warning of malfunction to the vehicle driver. A modern vehicle supports hundreds of parameters that can be accessed through the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) using a scan tool.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis
In 2020, swift spread of COVID-19 largely
impacted the global business operations, disrupting the supply chain and
impairing various industries. The global trading activities were declined
severely owing to the nationwide lockdowns, international border seals, and
strict social distancing measures. This had a drastic impact on the global economy,
as the companies across the globe were forced to either fully close or
partially close their operations, leading to disruption in the supply-demand
ratio. Moreover, in 2021 several key markets such as U.S., India, and Brazil
among others witnessed a second wave of COVID-19 that further disrupted the
market. However, it is expected that reopening of trade activities, the market
will witness steady growth in demand in the coming years. The impact of
COVID-19 on the market demand is considered while estimating the current and
forecast market size and growth trends for all the regions and countries. The report provides a completely separate
