Automatic Tire Inflation Market Report by Trends, Drivers, and Challenges - 2025

The worldwide market for automatic tire inflation systems is currently witnessing significant growth, driven by increased investments, stringent regulatory measures, ongoing trials in various off-road vehicles, and future deployment strategies. This trend is expected to continue in the upcoming years. The market is characterized by a limited number of established players globally, who are heavily investing to provide cutting-edge services to their clientele. Additionally, several key stakeholders are engaged in the comprehensive development of automatic tire inflation system technology, ensuring that users receive optimal service. Government funding aimed at research and development, along with strategic collaborations between technology providers and tire manufacturers, as well as partnerships between technology providers and automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), are projected to catalyze substantial growth in the automatic tire inflation system market throughout the forecast period. It is estimated that the global market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% from 2018 to 2025, reaching a valuation of approximately US$ 2,029.9 million by 2025.

Automatic tire inflation systems (ATIS), which monitor tire pressure and automatically inflate tires as needed, have been utilized in the trucking industry for over two decades. However, their application has been largely restricted to trailer tires, although this is beginning to change. An increasing number of ATIS products are entering the market, claiming the ability to monitor and inflate tires not only on trailers but also on the drive and steer axles of tractors. Despite the clear advantages these systems offer, their widespread adoption has been slow. One reason for this delay is the lack of government regulations mandating the use of these devices, or similar tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), on new trailers. Furthermore, there are significant engineering challenges associated with adapting ATIS for tractor use. Historically, tire inflation systems have been limited to trailers due to the routing of hoses through the center of axles and their installation on wheel hubs to supply air to the tires. Achieving the same functionality for drive tires remains a complex challenge.

Factors such as differentials, gear axles, and extreme temperature variations complicate the routing of pressurized air to the tires. In our analysis, we have categorized the automatic tire inflation system market based on vehicle type and distribution channel. The market segmentation by vehicle type includes utility vehicles, tractors, and heavy-duty vehicles. Additionally, the market is divided by distribution channel into original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket. Geographically, the automatic tire inflation system market is examined across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), the Middle East and Africa (MEA), and South America (SAM).

APAC is projected to be the fastest-growing region in the automatic tire inflation system market, primarily due to the substantial automotive industry in China. Regulatory requirements mandating the integration of ATIS in heavy commercial vehicles are expected to encourage automotive OEMs to adopt and implement these systems. As the largest automotive hub globally, China is anticipated to demonstrate the highest market growth and share. Ongoing market initiatives and strategic partnerships are likely to persist throughout the forecast period, further boosting the growth of the automatic tire inflation systems market in this region. In contrast, North America is expected to hold the largest market share by 2025, driven by rapid technological advancements, significant investments, and supportive government policies in the region. Key players in the automatic tire inflation system market include Continental AG, Dana Limited, STEMCO Products Inc., Meritor, Inc., and Hendriksson USA, LLC. Other notable companies actively participating in the market include PressureGuard, Haltec Corporation, Aperia Technologies, Inc., Michelin, and Tire Pressure Control.
