Global Automatic Tire Inflation System Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Sales Channel, By Vehicle Type, By Type, By Component, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 - 2028

The Global Automatic Tire Inflation System Market size is expected to reach $123.4 million by 2028, rising at a market growth of 12.4% CAGR during the forecast period.

The automatic tire inflation system (ATIS) inflates the car tires automatically whenever the internal pressure falls under a pre-set level. By providing enough air in each wheel, the upgraded automatic tire inflation system can improve tire efficiency, boost the fuel efficiency of the vehicle, and minimize tire wear. When the weight on the vehicle increases, the automatic tire inflation system increases the tire pressure in each tire, and when the load on the automobile falls, the tire pressure decreases.

The adjustment of air pressure on the inside of a tire is referred to as tire inflation. When driving a car safely, the appropriate inflation of a tire is critical. This modern tire inflation system aids in the maintenance of proper tire pressure, which varies based on vehicle type, load, tire size and type, and road condition. These are used to inflate and deflate the tires when their pressures are below or above the appropriate levels for the cars in question. This reduces the time it takes to inflate and deflate tires, as well as the time it takes to conduct vehicle roadside inspections.

The automatic tire inflation system market is being driven by an increase in demand for the system, particularly in emerging nations, due to many advantages such as improved fuel efficiency and tire life span, as well as the growth of vehicle automation. The automatic tire inflation system market is expected to develop due to rising concerns about vehicle safety and an increasing rate of adoption of autonomous systems, which are known to save time for tire inflation and deflation operations while also lowering repair costs.

COVID-19 Impact

The automotive industry is critical to the development of an economy. During the second and third quarters of 2020, however, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the whole automotive supply chain. Due to lockdowns and shutdowns of industrial facilities in various regions of the world enforced by the governments, the pandemic posed an unpredictable recovery path for the industry. During COVID-19, the automotive sector faced four key challenges: a shortage of car parts, a drop in new vehicle sales, the closure of manufacturing sites, and a drop in working capital. Since the automatic tire inflation system market is reliant on car production, the pandemic is expected to have a negative impact on the market.

Market Growth Factors

Amalgamation with Telematics

Telematics is made up of two components: technology and informatics. Advanced tracking systems and sensors installed in vehicles that send, receive and store telemetry data on vehicular activities are referred to as telematics. It relies on its own onboard diagnostics systems to function (ODBI). ODBI increases safety and reduces the possibility of cost tampering by vehicle drivers. In the eyes of adventure travelers and transportation, travel firms, telematics benefits make vehicle automatic tire inflation system (ATIS) more appealing to boost efficiency.

In addition, mounting concerns about road safety and tight rules enforced by governments throughout the world are forcing car owners to install an integrated automatic tire inflation system.

Rising Popularity of SUVs

Due to advances in technology, the global automotive sector is quickly expanding. The corporations are concentrating their efforts on facilitating comprehensive tire research and development in order to improve the frictional resistance of tire goods. The automatic tire inflation system market is primarily driven by rising R&D-based activities by the manufacturers. With the simple stroke of a button, the driver can optimize tire inflation pressure while working on various terrains from the cab. When driving in soft soil terrain, lowering tire pressure results in a larger tire footprint, which provides improved flotation and traction. Although ATIS is frequently used in conjunction with all-wheel drive, however, even when used with non-all-wheel-drive vehicles, it can surpass all-wheel drive in certain soft soil circumstances.

Market Restraining Factors

Not Compatible With Airless and Nitrogen Inflated Tires

The automated tire inflation mechanism does not work with tubeless or nitrogen tires. Nitrogen tires provide advantages such as improved fuel efficiency, reduced rolling resistance, and IPLR, all of which contribute to a longer vehicle service life. Nitrogen tires are becoming more popular as a result of a growing number of tire manufacturers opting for nitrogen as an inflation gas. Nitrogen as an inflating gas in tires is supported by renowned tire manufacturers such as Goodyear (US) and Continental (Germany). Inflating tires with nitrogen enhance steering, handling, and braking, minimizes tire oxidation, removes interior wheel corrosion, lowers running temperatures, and reduces tire pressure monitoring system false alarms.

Sales Channel Outlook

Based on Sales Channel, the market is segmented into OEM, and Aftermarket. The after-market segment witnessed a substantial revenue share in the automatic tire inflation system market in 2021. Automobile tire inflation systems have been on the market for four or five decades, but only recently have they achieved favor in commercial vehicles.
