Tire Balance Global Market Report 2024

The tire balance market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.39 billion in 2023 to $1.47 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the rise in automotive ownership, the expansion of the automotive aftermarket, the implementation of stringent vehicle safety standards, consumer demand for comfortable rides, and the globalization of supply chains in the automotive industry.

The tire balance market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.8 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a heightened focus on fuel efficiency, an increasing adoption of telematics, government initiatives for road safety, the integration of predictive maintenance solutions, and customization tailored for performance vehicles. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the advancement of balancing technologies, integration with tire pressure monitoring systems, the incorporation of smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 practices, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for dynamic balancing, and the provision of remote diagnostics and monitoring services.

The anticipated surge in vehicle production is poised to be a driving force behind the expansion of the tire balance market in the foreseeable future. Vehicles, serving as transportation mechanisms propelled by engines, require meticulous maintenance, including tire balancing - a crucial process ensuring uniform weight distribution within tire and wheel assemblies. This balancing procedure significantly curtails vibrations and instabilities in vehicles, particularly during varied driving speeds. Notably, data from the Federal Reserve System in August 2023 highlighted a substantial uptick in US motor vehicle production, escalating from 10.25 million units in Q1 2023 to 11.29 million units in Q2 2023. Therefore, the escalating vehicle production stands as a catalyst for propelling the growth of the tire balance market.

The projected increase in tire production is expected to be a significant driver propelling the tire balance market's growth in the coming years. Tire production encompasses the manufacturing of pneumatic tires utilized across diverse vehicles, spanning cars, trucks, buses, and aircraft. The tire manufacturing process involves multiple stages, beginning from raw material sourcing to the final tire finishing. A surge in tire production directly corresponds to amplified demand for tire balancing services, attributed to the symbiotic relationship between the tire balance sector and automobile manufacturing. Additionally, it reflects the heightened maintenance needs of vehicle owners while prioritizing ride comfort and safety. For instance, a report by the Automotive Tire Manufacturers' Association (ATMA) in October 2022 showcased marked increases in passenger car tire production by 44% and truck/bus tire production by 25% between January and December 2021 compared to the previous year. This cumulative 24% growth in overall tire production during the same period substantiates the driving force behind the tire balance market's expansion.

A deceleration in tire demand is poised to potentially impede the growth trajectory of the market within the forecasted period. This slowdown, indicating a reduction in the rate of tire purchases or consumption, holds several implications for the tire balance sector, encompassing diminished sales figures, necessitating adept inventory management, heightened focus on maintenance services, and impacting the utilization of balancing equipment. Notably, data from the European Tire and Rubber Manufacturers Association in May 2023 indicated a noteworthy 12% annual decline in the demand for replacement consumer tires in the initial quarter of 2023. Consequently, this deceleration in tire demand stands as a hindrance to the advancement of the tire balance market.

Key players in the tire balance market are directing their efforts toward the development of automated and digital balancing solutions, notably exemplified by the introduction of 2-hit wheel balancers, aimed at augmenting performance, minimizing downtime, and expanding their customer base across diverse market segments. The 2-hit wheel balancer is meticulously designed to rectify imbalances in weight within vehicle wheels, ensuring a smoother and safer driving experience by detecting and correcting discrepancies. For instance, in November 2022, CEMB USA, a provider of wheel service equipment and tire machines in the United States, unveiled a new 2-hit wheel balancer explicitly tailored to streamline wheel balancing procedures, particularly beneficial for novice mechanics. This innovative balancer employs a two-hit technique to verify wheel measurements on the tire before relaying the data to the wheel balancer. Noteworthy features include laser matching, open plane balancing (OPB), LA sonar, and ALU-S balancing mode, enhancing precision. Additionally, the 2-hit system utilizes a line laser and laser spotter to indicate the ideal wheel placement for achieving optimal vehicle balance.

In January 2023, Sun Auto Tire & Service Inc., an automotive repair, maintenance, and tire service provider based in the United States, successfully completed the acquisition of Tire Outlet Holdings Inc. The financial specifics of this acquisition remain undisclosed. This strategic move by Sun Auto Tire & Service Inc. is aimed at synergizing with Tire Outlet Holdings Inc.'s corporate ethos and strategic goals, positioning the amalgamated entity optimally for continuous growth and achievement. Tire Outlet Holdings, Inc., a company based in the US, specializes in automotive wheel and tire balancing services, thus aligning well with the overarching objectives and operational focus of Sun Auto Tire & Service Inc.
