Robotic Tire Inspection System Market Report 2026

The robotic tire inspection system market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.19 billion in 2025 to $1.31 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of automotive manufacturing capacity, increasing emphasis on vehicle safety standards, growth in tire production volumes, availability of advanced imaging technologies, rising adoption of automation in inspection.

The robotic tire inspection system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.91 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing deployment of smart inspection systems, growing demand for predictive maintenance solutions, expansion of electric and autonomous vehicle production, rising focus on quality assurance, increasing investments in factory automation. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of automated tire inspection systems, rising integration of ai-based defect detection, growing use of non-destructive testing technologies, expansion of robotics in quality inspection, enhanced focus on safety and compliance.

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.
