Market Trends of Automotive Tire Inflator Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Automotive Tire Inflator Market according to our research experts:
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.

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.
Owing to the above mentioned instances, and government initiavites, the rise in the demand for electric vehicles, is expected to propel the tire inflator market in the forecast period.

As many carmakers across the region have started eliminating the addition of spare tire, the demand for tire repair kit, which also includes a tire inflator, is expected to grow.
Additionally, many car manufacturing companies in the countries like India have started providing a tire repair kit, along with a spare tire. For instance, in 2021, Tata launched its entry-level hatchback Tiago which offers a spare tire as well as a puncture repair kit.
With that, as many electric cars do not offer a spare tire including tesla, which also enhances the demand for the tire inflator. Also, in 2021, Tesla stopped offering a tire puncture kit with its Model 3. However, Tesla along with other car makers like Toyota, Suzuki, Hyundai and others doo offer a tire inflator kit as an optional accessory.
As many carmakers are refraining from providing, a spare tire and a tire inflator kit, several vehicle owners are expected to prefer aftermarket inflators through e-commerce websites and brick and mortar structure, which is liekyl to drive teh aftermarket segment growth during the forecats period.
