New growth opportunities emerge due to ageing vehicles, rising annual mileage and safety regulations,finds Frost & Sullivan’s Mobility team
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Dec. 21, 2016 – Technology convergence is helping scale down large wheel and tire diagnostic garage equipment tools to fit within automobiles. Optimization will create smaller, sophisticated products that utilize sensor-based applications to diagnose real-time service escalation needs. Manufacturers must focus on achieving the right balance of product mix and placement to meet demand expectation and maintain a competitor advantage.
Frost & Sullivan’s Market Engineering Analysis of the Tire and Wheel Equipment Market finds that the overall wheel and tire equipment industry will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 2.5 percent between 2015 and 2022, due to the rising demand for wheel aligners and tire changers.

“Ageing vehicles, retaining patterns in consumers and rising annual mileage, will create recurring demand for wheel and tire service and maintenance,” said Frost & Sullivan Intelligent Mobility Research Analyst Benson Augustine.
The tire and wheel equipment market is being hindered by improved lifespan and replacement cycles, better-quality equipment, efficient servicing, and lack of awareness around the use of certain equipment. Nonetheless, global revenues are expected to reach $541.4 million in 2022.
“Snap-on, Hunter Engineering Company and Hennessy are the current market leaders. Their key assets are penetration and brand image with state-of-the-art products and a strong mix of high-end and value-line equipment,” noted Augustine. “However, Chinese manufacturers are likely to infuse relatively low-priced products to attract price-sensitive smaller garages.”
