In this whitepaper, we analyze:
-
The current need for ADAS calibration in collision repair
-
Projected calibration demand by repair year from 2024 - 2031
-
How repair mix by make will create variations at the shop level
-
Industry calibration performance to demand, current and trending
-
Methodology behind projections and validation process
-
Industry-wide call to action

Update: Projected Increase in Demand for Post-Repair ADAS Calibrations
Our mid-year update to our 2024 white paper. In this Insight, Caliber shares new data surrounding the current demand for ADAS calibrations in the collision repair industry. Data shows demand exceeds initial projections, reaching 65% in Q2 of 2025.
Number of Calibrations per RO to Increase, Potentially with MY2027
Combining factors, including legislation and endorsements from key safety ratings, are converging to a common goal: improved ADAS performance. Manufacturers may need to increase the number of cameras and sensors on their vehicles, as well as integrate new technologies such as LiDAR and AI. Caliber analyzes how and when these changes might impact the collision repair industry.
Ramifications of Incomplete or Incorrectly Performed ADAS Calibrations
In this analysis of a case study from American Honda Motor Co., we look at what factors could lead to a calibration procedure “completing” —without errors—but still being incorrectly performed, leading to ADAS malfunction. Caliber also suggests steps the collision repair and auto insurance carriers can take to help prevent these scenarios.
