The Automotive Tire Inflator Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 5% during the forecast period.
The new vehicle production and sales decreased in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial short-term impact on the automotive industry. Additionally, because of the restrictions, car owners drove less, which prolonged trips for maintenance or tire replacement, increasing the risk of punctures and downtime.
Automakers across the globe are removing the spares from their vehicles to save money and reduce weight to increase efficiency in response to increasingly strict fuel economy rules which is the primary driver of the tire inflator market. About 25 pounds are taken out of the car when a spare tire is exchanged with an inflation kit. Additionally, some countries like India, have lifted the mandate of a spare tire which is also expected to aid the tire inflator market growth in the forecast period.
As majority of the vehicles, sold globally are in the Asia-Pacific region, it is the largest as well as the fastest growing market.
Global Automotive Tire Inflator Market Trends and Insights
Growing Sales of Electric Vehicles is Expected to Drive the Market
The automobile sector now cannot exist without electric vehicles. It represents a means to minimise pollution and other greenhouse gas emissions while also attaining energy efficiency. The main causes of this growth are the rising environmental concerns and the beneficial government measures. By the end of 2025, it is anticipated that the number of electric passenger cars sold annually would surpass 10 million units and might make up more than 15% of total vehicle sales.
Despite the global pandemic, the market for electric vehicles has been expanding at a solid rate recently; in 2021, total sales of electric vehicles were at approximately 6.6 million units, up from 3.0 million units as of 2020 and 2.2 million units in 2019. Sales have increased as a result of stricter regulations being implemented by various organisations and governments to reduce emissions and promote zero-emission automobiles.
For instance, In 2021, the Canadian federal government signed the international drive to obtain zero-emission transit by 2025 and make the majority of the vehicles plying on the road electric by 2040.
To save weight and make more room for the battery majority of the carmakers do not include a spare tire with their battery electric or hybrid vehicles. For instance, Tesla doesn't offer a spare wheel for any of its vehicles. Additionally, Volkswagen ID4 also doesn't feature a spare tire as a standard fitment.
Many governments across the countries have also lifted the mandate of adding a spare tire. For instance, in August 2021, Indian government exclaimed of removing the compulsion of spare wheel, viz a viz, a tire repair and inflation kit, or a TPMS is provided with the vehicle.
