ADAS calibrations increase by more than a quarter in just 12 months

22 June 2026  

Auto Windscreens has reported a 30% increase in the number of ADAS calibrations it carried out as part of its windscreen replacement work over the last 12 months.

While this growth partly reflects an overall 7% increase in windscreen repairs and replacements across the business, it has also shared that more than 40% of its front windscreen replacement jobs now include an ADAS calibration.

Claire Church, Director of Service Delivery at Auto Windscreens commented: “The influx of new models with the latest technology, especially from China, has helped to drive the ADAS market to new heights. That’s why we’re so passionate about lobbying for the role to be recognised as a skilled profession.

“The ADAS market is likely to just keep on growing – new cars sold in the EU and Northern Ireland must be equipped with specific ADAS as standard. Although this isn’t yet mandatory in the UK, many vehicles on the road now include at least one ADAS feature. It’s more important than ever that we work hard to raise awareness among drivers and the industry of the importance of proper calibration – undertaken at the right time and under the right conditions.”
