Connected Tire Market Analysis

Based on component, the connected tire market is segmented into TPMS, accelerometer sensors, strain gauge sensors, and RFID chips. The accelerometer sensors segment held a share of around 25% in 2022 and is expected to grow at a lucrative pace through 2032. Accelerometer sensors play a crucial role in monitoring tire performance including tire rotation, alignment, and balance. The growing demand for real-time monitoring and optimization of tire performance is also driving the accelerometer sensors segment growth. Accelerometer sensors are used in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to control tire pressure. These sensors continuously monitor the speed & motion of the tire and upon the detection of the desired difference in tire pressure, the data is sent to the driver for timely inflation or adjustments to maintain good tire pressure. Tire pressure not only improves safety but also fuel efficiency and tire performance.
