What is Next in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Market?
DUBLIN, Ireland--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c73740) has announced the addition of “Tire Pressure Monitoring System Market” to their offering.
TPMS market is at a crossroads today. Several questions are raised at technical and market levels. A few challenges are happening in a market that is seeing many newcomers:
- Progress in indirect measurement systems,
- Legislation change in Europe for reducing CO2 emissions,
- Moving the sensor from the valve to the tire inlay,
- Energy harvesting devices technologies and integration.
Each point will have very strong impact on the market and would
mean a market shift.
A market driven by legislation
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) are mandatory on all new cars sold in the United States since September 1, 2007. This regulation, initiated in 2001, has created a very fast growing market demand for TPMS since 2005, with a few players successfully making most of the sales. The market is only driven by regulation as end users are not ready to pay for TPMS despite its benefits. This explains the huge price pressure. In most cars, the OEM will only try to fulfill the NHTSA standard in its minimum version.
In Europe and Asia, the market penetration is slow and not supported yet by any regulation. The overall market growth is hence expected to be single-digit for the next 5 years, from 167M$ in 2007, unless lobbying efforts succeed in imposing TPMS in Europe or in large growing markets in Asia. This will then create a new rally of high speed growth. This factor and current technical challenges motivate still a large number of players to actively develop new systems in order to get a share of the pie.
The report also provides over 20 detailed company profiles of players in production, sampling or development. Each profile goes in depth into company TPMS activity: products, technology, processes, R&D works, partners and customers (when available).
Finally the report describes the forecasted developments for battery-less systems and tire manufacturer's efforts to integrate TPMS into the tires with additional functionalities towards intelligent tires.
This Report Gives An Accurate Picture Of The TPMS Market Today And Its Potential Developments. It Describes:
- The market drivers, the legislation frame and the different standards for TPMS
- The different technologies used in implementing TPMS and the challenges facing industrial players
