The growth in the forecast period is driven by rising demand for safer and more reliable tires, increasing need for consistent inspection accuracy across production lines, growing investments in automated inspection, wider adoption of AI-powered robotic systems by tire manufacturers, and increasing need for faster and more accurate quality inspections. Key trends in the forecast period include AI-powered vision systems for defect detection, robotic arms for automated tire handling, IoT-enabled monitoring of tire production, cloud-based quality management platforms, and predictive analytics for maintenance and defect prevention.

The growth of the automotive industry is expected to drive the expansion of the robotic tire inspection system market. The automotive industry involves the production, design, and sale of motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles, as well as their components and related services. The automotive sector is expanding due to increasing urbanization, which has led more people to rely on personal and commercial vehicles for transportation, thereby boosting vehicle sales and production. Robotic tire inspection systems support this growth by providing accurate and consistent tire quality assessments, reducing defects, and enhancing overall vehicle safety. For example, in March 2025, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, a Belgium-based lobbying group for the automotive industry, reported that worldwide car sales reached 74.6 million units in 2024, a 2.5% increase over 2023. As a result, the expansion of the automotive industry is fueling the growth of the robotic tire inspection system market.

Companies in the robotic tire inspection system market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as AI-based platforms, to process large volumes of data in real time. AI-based platforms use artificial intelligence to automate tasks, analyze data, and provide actionable insights or recommendations. For example, in October 2024, NEXEN TIRE, a South Korea-based tire manufacturer, launched an AI-powered automated tire inspection system. This system is designed with a platform structure that enables seamless integration into new factories and equipment. NEXEN TIRE has extended its use of AI from tire development to manufacturing processes, utilizing automated inspection systems that incorporate machine vision. The AI technology assists nondestructive inspection devices such as X-ray systems to detect structural flaws and laser interferometry for analyzing shearography to identify air bubbles, tasks that were previously performed manually.

In March 2025, Callista Private Equity, a Germany-based investment firm, acquired Carl Zeiss Automated Inspection GmbH for an undisclosed amount. Following the acquisition, Carl Zeiss Automated Inspection GmbH was rebranded as Newston Automated Solutions GmbH but will retain its current organization and technological expertise in inline inspection, ensuring continuity of operations. Carl Zeiss Automated Inspection GmbH specializes in robotic tire inspection solutions, and this acquisition aims to strategically expand its capabilities in the market.

Major players in the robotic tire inspection system market are Michelin Group, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, AMETEK Inc., VRAIA, Nexen Tire Corporation, Hunter Engineering Co., Uveye Inc., SwitchOn Inc., WheelRight Ltd., ProovStation Inc., Blue Star Engineering & Electronics Ltd., Tactile Mobility Ltd., Eines Systems SL, JEVOL Co., Motion Automation, Mabri Vision GmbH, Katomaran Technologies, UnitX, Tekna Automazione e Controllo, and Vision Tire System.

North America was the largest region in the robotic tire inspection system market in 2024. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in robotic tire inspection system report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the machinery sector by increasing costs for steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings critical components often imported from tariff-affected regions. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery now face squeezed margins, as many long-term contracts prevent immediate price adjustments. The uncertainty has also delayed investment in automation and smart machinery technologies, slowing productivity gains. To adapt, firms are accelerating local supplier development, redesigning products to use alternative materials, and leveraging predictive maintenance to extend equipment lifespans amid higher replacement costs.
