Automatic tire inflation systems (ATIS) are onboard systems installed in vehicles to automatically adjust and maintain optimal tire pressure levels. They work by continuously monitoring individual tire pressure sensors and adjusting pressures using an onboard compressor and valves. Maintaining optimal tire pressure improves vehicle safety, handling, and fuel efficiency. It also prevents underinflation which can lead to uneven tire wear and an increased risk of blowouts. The system compensates for tire pressure loss caused due to factors like temperature change. The growing emphasis on vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, and preventive maintenance are expected to drive the adoption of ATIS across different vehicle types.
Market Dynamics:
The automatic tire inflation system market is driven by stringent fuel economy and vehicle safety regulations. Underinflated tires can decrease fuel economy by up to 3% and can also reduce tread life. ATIS help meet corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards. They also help prevent accidents caused due to tire failure at high speeds. However, high upfront costs remain a key challenge for mass adoption. Market players are focusing on solutions with advanced sensors and compact designs to make ATIS more affordable. The growing popularity of fleet management systems also provides an opportunity for the integration of ATIS. Commercial vehicles are a major application area due to their high mileage.
