Governments across different regions announced total lockdown and the temporary shutdown of industries, leading to the border closures that restricted the movement of transportation services. The COVID-19 health crisis forced the automotive industry to look for alternate sources and prioritize import substitution with their production activities & supply chain. However, the overall service activities of market players have registered a steady and favorable recovery in the subsequent months with the normalization of trade regulations and vehicle production, which is expected to boost the automatic tire inflation system market in post-2020. As per the current scenario, the overall world is getting back on track slowly; with the new restriction and policies. Thus, the resumption of operations by various automakers in several parts of the world is expected to boost the growth of the automatic tire inflation system market from 2021 onwards. This will positively impact the market during the forecast period.

The growth of the global automotive automatic tire inflation system market is driven by factors such as increase in demand for all-terrain & military vehicles, surge in demand for incorporation of safety features in vehicles, and rise in demand for comfort while driving. However, high implementation cost & configuration complexity and nitrogen tires substituting compressed air tires hamper the growth of the market across the globe. On the contrary, technological advancements related to vehicles and integration of automatic tire inflation system with telematics are anticipated to offer remunerative opportunities for the growth of the global automotive automatic tire inflation system market. The global automotive automatic tire inflation system market is segmented into product type, application, sales channel, and region. Depending on product type, the market is categorized into central tire inflation and continuous tire inflation.

On the basis of application, it is bifurcated into light-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles. By sales channel, it is fragmented into original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and LAMEA.

The key players profiled in the automotive automatic tire inflation system market report include Aperia Technology Inc., Bigfoot Equipment LTD, Dana Limited, FTL/IDEX (subsidiary of IDEX Corporation), Hendrickson USA, LLC, Meritor, Inc., Parker Hannifin Corp, SAF-HOLLAND SE, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, and ti.systems GmbH.

Increase in demand for all-terrain and military vehicles

Utility all-terrain vehicles are versatile and find their application across a multiple sectors, including military, agricultural, construction, and forestry. As the military, agriculture, construction activities are increasing significantly, the demand for these vehicles is expected to escalate significantly, thus creating a positive impact on the growth of the automotive automatic tire inflation system market. Moreover, the need for advanced system such as telematics, tubeless tires, and self-inflator tires increased considerably, owing to surge in demand for off-highway vehicles across different countries, which is anticipated to open new avenues for the growth of the market across the globe.

In addition, key players operating in the industry have developed and introduced their automatic tire inflator system to be used in vehicles, which acts as a key growth driver of the automotive ATIS market. For instance, in October 2019, Aperia Technology Inc. upgraded its industry-first tire analytics platform Halo Connect, which offers new features such as precise vehicle location and service insights along with tracking tire tread depth and tire replacement time period to further simplify fleet tire maintenance decisions.

Furthermore, surge in demand for all-terrain vehicles in agriculture and military & defense applications across Asia-Pacific and North America is expected to foster the market growth, thus enabling key players to develop and introduce automatic tire inflator system to be used in different vehicles. 

Incorporation of safety features in vehicles

Safety features such as engine performance analysis, tire pressure monitoring system, electronic stability control, airbags, and telematics-based features are in high demand due to increase in number of road accidents worldwide. Vehicles installed with safety features offered by advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) can detect and classify certain objects on the road and alert driver according to the road conditions as well as the condition of the vehicle. In addition, these systems ensure the safety and security of the vehicle as well as passengers on-board by creating an advanced alert related to the vehicle condition. Moreover, prominent players operating in the industry have developed advanced vehicle safety features, which include numerous subcomponents such as sensors and microcontrollers, which are intended to provide real-time information of the vehicle, thus ensuring safety of the vehicle. Moreover, increased government norms for inclusion of numerous safety features in vehicles creates a wider scope, thus supplementing the growth of the market across the globe.

High implementation cost & configuration complexity

Continuous technological advancements have necessitated the upgradation of system & software of automobiles required to keep them compatible with external environment. The cost of all components such as sensor, radio frequency, and fuzzy logics along with the assembly required in smart vehicles is significantly high. Numerous components & sensors are assembled in a single dielectric plate according to the compatibility, which incur high cost. In addition, this bulky system takes higher implementation cost, as it needs to be connected with wireless devices installed in vehicles for its proper operation. Therefore, high configuration complexity coupled with higher initial implantation cost limits the installation of automatic tire inflator system in vehicles, thus restraining the growth of the automotive ATIS market.

Integration of automatic tire inflation system with telematics

Telematics include advanced tracking devices and sensors installed in vehicles which send, receive, and store telemetry data of vehicular operations. It works on own onboard diagnostics systems (ODBI). ODBI decreases vehicle’s fuel consumption, improves safety, and reduces the possibility of cost manipulation by vehicle drivers due to the presence of on-board telematics system in vehicles. Owing to such benefits offered by telematics, automotive automatic tire inflation system is gaining high traction in the market, as it improves the performance of vehicle as well as ensures safety of the vehicle, thereby creating a positive impact on the growth of the market.

Moreover, the integration of ATIS with telematics makes air tire inflation system more reliable and advanced, as the system can perform automatically. Moreover, increase in concern over road safety and stringent regulations imposed by governments globally pertaining to the integration of automatic tire inflation systems in new vehicles is projected to open new avenues for the expansion of the automotive automatic tire inflation system market in the near future.
