Commercial Vehicle Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems Market Size, CAGR & Forecast, 2025-2035

Trailers, Tire-Integrated Sensors and China's Coach and Truck Rule Set the Pace for Commercial Vehicle TPMS Through 2035

Radial Insights values the Commercial Vehicle Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems market at USD 1.42 Billion in 2025, rising to USD 1.54 Billion in 2026 and USD 3.24 Billion by 2035, an 8.60% CAGR over 2025-2035. That trajectory more than doubles the market in ten years, and it is driven less by new truck volumes than by a shift from simple low-pressure warnings to connected tire data that fleets act on.

Our scope covers direct tire pressure monitoring for heavy trucks, buses and coaches, trailers and light commercial vehicles. It includes sensors (valve-mounted, strap or rim-mounted, in-tire patch and hubcap units), in-cab receivers and displays, telematics gateways, and the connected software platforms sold with them, across both OEM-fit and aftermarket or retrofit channels. We exclude passenger-car TPMS, automatic tire inflation hardware (discussed only as context) and stand-alone pressure gauges.

In-Tire Patch-Mounted sensors are the fastest-growing segment at 11.80% a year, closely followed by Telematics-Connected Systems at 11.60% and Trailers at 10.40%. Continental's June 2026 launch of Sensor Ready tires in the Americas, which mold a sensor pocket into the tire and cut installation from about 14 minutes to a few minutes, shows why the patch-mounted format is gaining ground.

Asia Pacific (APAC) is both the largest and the fastest-growing region, expanding at 10.00% a year. China sold 1.137 million heavy trucks in 2025, up 26%, and the reported GB 7258-2026 standard adds a TPMS requirement for coaches, school buses and trucks with three or more axles from 1 July 2027.

Growth is uneven elsewhere. Europe's heavy-duty fitment became mandatory for all new registrations on 7 July 2024, so the region now grows on replacement sensors and software rather than first-fit volume, while the United States still has no federal TPMS mandate for heavy trucks or trailers. For commercial vehicle TPMS suppliers, the decade ahead rewards those who sell data and uptime, not just sensors.

Connected and Tire-Integrated Formats Outgrow Legacy Valve Sensors and In-Cab Displays

Across five dimensions, the pattern in commercial vehicle TPMS is consistent: products that push tire data into fleet software grow faster than the market's 8.60% average, while hardware tied to standalone dashboards lags. Segment growth rates below are Radial Insights estimates for 2025-2035.

Telematics Gateways and Software Grow Fastest as Fleets Pay for Alerts, Not Hardware

Sensors remain the core revenue line because every wheel position needs one, and they grow at 7.90% as fitment spreads and batteries reach replacement age. Telematics Gateways and Software expand much faster at 11.30%, because subscription platforms such as Michelin Connected Fleet, ContiConnect and Goodyear's Tires-as-a-Service bill per vehicle per month. Receivers and Displays trail at 6.40% as fleets route alerts to driver tablets and back-office dashboards instead of buying dedicated in-cab screens.

In-Tire Patch Sensors Lead Mounting Growth at 11.80% as Tire Makers Mold In Sensor Pockets

Valve-mounted sensors still dominate the installed base on older retrofit kits, but they grow only 6.80% a year because they are exposed to impact and tampering. Strap/Rim-Mounted units, which ZF's WABCO OptiTire offers alongside valve sensors, grow at 8.20%. In-Tire Patch-Mounted sensors grow at 11.80%: they read temperature inside the casing, and Continental's Sensor Ready tires shrink installation to a few minutes. Hubcap-Mounted sensors, the format Hendrickson chose for TIREMAAX TPMS in November 2025, grow at 10.10% on trailers where axle-end access is simplest.

Trailers Outpace Power Units Because Unpowered Wheels Have Gone Unmonitored

Heavy Trucks lead revenue on high tire counts and factory options from Bendix SmarTire on Freightliner, Kenworth and Peterbilt, growing at 8.10%. Trailers grow faster at 10.40% because they were long monitored by nobody; Krone, Hendrickson and Michelin all targeted trailer tires in 2025 and 2026. Buses and Coaches expand at 8.70%, supported by China's reported coach requirement and 7.5% growth in EU bus registrations in 2025. Light Commercial Vehicles grow slowest at 7.20%, since many vans under 10,000 lb already carry passenger-style TPMS.

OEM-Fitted Systems Gain on Mandates While Retrofit Keeps a Steady Base

OEM-Fitted systems grow at 9.10% as regulations in the EU and China make sensors standard on new vehicles and truck makers bundle tire data into factory telematics. Aftermarket and Retrofit grows at 7.90%, supported by large North American fleets with no mandate and by suppliers such as Advantage PressurePro, Doran and Schrader selling kits that bolt onto existing equipment.

Telematics-Connected Systems Grow at Twice the Rate of Standalone In-Cab Units

Telematics-Connected Systems expand at 11.60% because maintenance managers want leak alerts on the same screen as fuel and hours-of-service data, and marketplaces such as Platform Science and Samsara make integration a software toggle. Standalone In-Cab Systems grow only 5.60%, kept alive by owner-operators and markets where cellular coverage or data costs limit connected options.

Market Trends

Tire Makers Are Building the Sensor Into the Tire Itself

On 18 June 2026, Continental launched Sensor Ready tires in the Americas, with a sensor pocket molded into the casing. The company says installation drops from about 14 minutes to a few minutes per tire, starting with the Conti Coach HA3, and it already counts more than 121,000 connected wheel positions in the Americas. A month earlier, on 13 May 2026, Continental showed a sensor-integrated DockMaster tire at TOC Europe. When the tire ships ready for a sensor, the installation cost that held back fleet adoption largely disappears.

Monitoring Is Moving From Low-Pressure Alarms to Leak Prediction

Michelin Connected Fleet launched Smart Predictive Tire for Class 7-8 trailers on 17 March 2026, using a "Smart Leak" algorithm. European pilots showed up to 80% fewer roadside tire events and up to 4% lower fuel use. In March 2025, Aperia signed an exclusive deal to supply its Halo Connect i3, which combines automatic inflation with pressure sensing, to Goodyear's Tires-as-a-Service subscription in North America and Europe, where Goodyear cites about 3% fuel savings and more than 50% fewer breakdowns.

Trailer Builders and Axle Suppliers Are Making TPMS a Factory Option

In February 2025, Webfleet, owned by Bridgestone, partnered with Krone so that Krone trailers connect to Webfleet through factory-fit telematics, with TPMS among the features. In July 2025, ZF Aftermarket promoted WABCO OptiTire for trailers, which meets UN R141, covers up to 20 wheels and links to SCALAR telematics. Hendrickson followed in November 2025 with TIREMAAX TPMS, a hubcap-mounted Bluetooth sensor offered as an OEM option or retrofit.

Bluetooth Retrofit Kits and Open Telematics Marketplaces Lower the Entry Barrier

At AAPEX and SEMA in November 2025, Schrader, part of Sensata, showed new heavy-duty sensors and an AirCheck BLE retrofit kit while marking 40 years in TPMS. Doran Manufacturing integrates its aftermarket TPMS with Platform Science and Samsara, so a fleet can add tire data to an existing telematics account rather than install a separate display. Bluetooth Low Energy is quickly becoming the default link between wheel and gateway.

Restraints and Challenges

No US Federal Mandate Leaves North American Heavy-Duty Adoption Voluntary

FMVSS 138 covers only vehicles at or below 10,000 lb GVWR, so there is no federal TPMS requirement for Class 8 tractors or trailers. Adoption in the United States depends on each fleet's return-on-investment case, which lengthens sales cycles and makes demand sensitive to freight rates and maintenance budgets.

Weak Truck Sales in 2025 Slowed OEM-Fit Volumes in Two Major Markets

US Class 8 retail sales fell 13.3% in 2025 to 208,386 units from 240,249, according to Omdia data reported by Transport Topics. In the EU, ACEA registration data show truck registrations down 6.2% to 307,460 and vans down 8.8%. Fewer new vehicles mean fewer factory-fit sensor sets, and a soft freight market tends to delay retrofit spending as well.

Europe's Mandate Is Already Fully Phased In, Capping First-Fit Growth

Under Regulation (EU) 2019/2144, heavy-duty TPMS became mandatory for new M2, M3, N2, N3, O3 and O4 vehicle types from 6 July 2022 and for all new registrations from 7 July 2024. That one-time step-up is now in the base, so European revenue tracks vehicle registrations and sensor replacement cycles rather than a rising fitment rate. The EU is still refining the technical rule: Council Decision (EU) 2026/1411 of 22 June 2026 backed a third supplement to the 01 series of UN Regulation No. 141 at the WP.29 session of 23-26 June 2026.

Install Time, Sensor Batteries and Alert Fatigue Still Limit Fleet Value

Each retrofit sensor can take around 14 minutes to fit, by Continental's own estimate for conventional tires, and an 18-wheel combination multiplies that labor. Sensor batteries eventually need replacing, tires swapped between trailers break sensor-to-position pairing, and poorly tuned systems flood dispatchers with alerts. Fleets that cannot act on the data quickly see little of the 0.5-1% fuel benefit that EPA SmartWay attributes to avoiding a 10 psi underinflation.

Growth Drivers

New Mandates in China and Tighter UN Rules Expand the Fitted Base

China's GB 7258-2026 safety standard was reported published in September 2026, taking effect in phases from 1 July 2027. According to secondary reports, it adds a TPMS requirement for single-tire wheels on school buses, highway and tourist coaches, trucks with three or more axles (except twin-steer), dangerous-goods trucks above 3.5 t and motorhomes of 4.5 t or more. That rule lands on a market that sold 1.137 million heavy trucks in 2025, up 26%, based on preliminary cvworld.cn figures. Europe provides the template: EU GSR2 has required heavy-duty TPMS on all new registrations since 7 July 2024, and the June 2026 Council Decision (EU) 2026/1411 on UN Regulation No. 141 shows the technical standard is still being updated, which keeps OEMs buying current sensor generations. Shanghai Baolong Automotive and other domestic OE TPMS suppliers stand to compete for the new Chinese volume alongside Continental and ZF. Radial Insights estimates that regulation adds about +1.4% to annual growth over the forecast period, with most of the effect concentrated after 2027.

Roadside Inspections and Fuel Costs Give Fleets a Hard Payback Case

The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's 2025 International Roadcheck results, published on 7 October 2025, recorded 56,178 inspections and an 18.1% vehicle out-of-service rate. Tires were the second-largest category, with 2,899 violations or 21.4% of vehicle out-of-service violations. Every one of those stops costs a fleet hours of driver time, a tow or road call, and potential CSA score damage. Fuel adds a second line of savings: EPA SmartWay estimates that running 10 psi below recommended pressure cuts truck fuel economy by 0.5-1%. Goodyear cites about 3% fuel savings and more than 50% fewer breakdowns for fleets using its Tires-as-a-Service with Aperia's Halo Connect i3, and Michelin's European pilots of Smart Predictive Tire showed up to 80% fewer roadside tire events. For a maintenance manager, those numbers turn TPMS from a compliance item into an operating-cost tool. We see this economic pull as worth roughly 1.1 points of CAGR, and it is the main reason the Commercial Vehicle Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems market keeps growing in North America without a federal mandate.

Tire-as-a-Service and Factory Telematics Turn Sensors Into Recurring Revenue

Tire makers are bundling sensors into contracts that bill for uptime. Continental reports more than 121,000 connected wheel positions in the Americas, and claims up to 2% fuel savings and up to 20% longer tire life for ContiConnect users. Michelin Connected Fleet, Goodyear's TPMS Connect and SightLine services, and Bridgestone's Webfleet all package tire data with fleet management, and the Webfleet and Krone factory-fit link in February 2025 shows trailer OEMs now ship ready-connected equipment. Platform Science's marketplace lets fleets enable third-party tire apps on existing in-cab hardware. Because software and gateways carry recurring fees, this shift lifts revenue per wheel even when unit sales are flat. We expect it to contribute close to 0.9 percentage points to the market's yearly expansion, concentrated in the Telematics-Connected Systems and Telematics Gateways and Software segments.

Opportunities

North America's Unmonitored Trailer Fleet Is the Largest Retrofit Pool

With no federal mandate covering trailers and new Class 8 sales down 13.3% in 2025, the near-term upside lies in equipment already on the road. Hendrickson's TIREMAAX TPMS, Schrader's AirCheck BLE kit and Michelin's Class 7-8 trailer service all target this pool, and suppliers that pair sensors with predictive leak analytics can win contracts that justify themselves on avoided road calls.

China's 2027 Coach and Truck Requirement Opens a Compliance Window

If GB 7258-2026 applies as reported from 1 July 2027, coach builders and makers of three-axle and dangerous-goods trucks will need qualified TPMS suppliers within months. Firms that localize sensor production and validate with Chinese OEMs during 2026 and early 2027 will be best placed to win the first wave of nominations.

Asia Pacific Leads and Grows Fastest While Europe Slows After Its Mandate Matured

Asia Pacific (APAC)

Asia Pacific (APAC) accounts for 38.00% of the 2025 market, worth USD 539.60 Million. Revenue in Asia Pacific (APAC) is projected to reach USD 1.40 Billion by 2035, a 10.00% CAGR and the fastest of any region. China drives the outlook: heavy truck sales rose 26% to 1.137 million in 2025, and the reported GB 7258-2026 standard adds TPMS for coaches, school buses and trucks with three or more axles from 1 July 2027.

North America

North America holds 24.00% of 2025 revenue, or USD 340.80 Million. We forecast North America to reach USD 749.50 Million by 2035 at an 8.20% CAGR. Growth comes from voluntary adoption, since FMVSS 138 applies only up to 10,000 lb GVWR, and from CVSA enforcement that logged 2,899 tire violations in the 2025 Roadcheck. Class 8 retail sales fell 13.3% to 208,386 in 2025, which tempers factory-fit demand in the short term.

Europe

Europe represents 27.00% of the 2025 market, valued at USD 383.40 Million. Europe is expected to reach USD 740.23 Million by 2035, growing at 6.80%, the slowest regional rate because GSR2 fitment has applied to all new heavy-duty registrations since 7 July 2024. EU truck registrations fell 6.2% to 307,460 in 2025, while bus registrations rose 7.5% to 38,238.

Latin America

Latin America contributes 5.00% of 2025 revenue, worth USD 71.00 Million. In Latin America, the market rises to USD 151.87 Million by 2035 at a 7.90% CAGR, with retrofit kits on long-haul trucks and intercity coaches leading demand in the absence of a regional mandate.

Middle East

The Middle East holds 3.50% of the 2025 market, or USD 49.70 Million. Middle East revenue is forecast at USD 114.46 Million by 2035, an 8.70% CAGR, helped by high ambient temperatures that make tire heat and pressure data valuable for 3-axle and dangerous-goods trucks serving construction and energy projects.

Africa

Africa accounts for 2.50% of 2025 revenue, worth USD 35.50 Million. Africa is projected to reach USD 84.04 Million by 2035 at a 9.00% CAGR, growing from a small base as mining haulers and cross-border truck fleets adopt aftermarket systems, often on tractor-trailer combinations running 18 or more wheels.

Tire Makers With Fleet Platforms Are Pulling Ahead of Hardware-Only Suppliers

The Commercial Vehicle Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems market is moderately concentrated, with about 15 companies shaping technology and channel access. Competition is shifting from sensor price toward who owns the fleet relationship and the data. We group the main players into four camps.

Global Tire Makers Bundle Sensors With Subscription Services

Continental is the most complete offer, spanning ContiPressureCheck, the ContiConnect platform and, since June 2026, Sensor Ready tires; it reports more than 121,000 connected wheel positions in the Americas. Michelin competes through Michelin Connected Fleet and its March 2026 Smart Predictive Tire for trailers. Goodyear sells TPMS Connect and SightLine and packages tire monitoring in its Tires-as-a-Service subscription. Bridgestone reaches fleets through Webfleet, which signed a factory-fit telematics deal with Krone in February 2025.

Braking and Chassis Suppliers Own the OEM Option Box

Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems offers SmarTire as a factory option on Freightliner, Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks, giving it strong first-fit reach in North America. ZF supplies WABCO OptiTire for trailers, compliant with UN R141, supporting up to 20 wheels and linking to SCALAR telematics. Hendrickson, a leading trailer axle and suspension maker, added the hubcap-mounted TIREMAAX TPMS in November 2025, while AKTV8 brings its PressureTech line to trailer and truck tire pressure management.

Sensor Specialists and Aftermarket Brands Serve Retrofit Fleets

Sensata Technologies, through its Schrader brand, has 40 years in TPMS and launched heavy-duty sensors plus the AirCheck BLE retrofit kit in November 2025. Advantage PressurePro is known for aftermarket systems whose Pulse display monitors up to 80 tires. Doran Manufacturing sells aftermarket TPMS that integrates with Platform Science and Samsara. Shanghai Baolong Automotive is an established OE TPMS supplier that could gain as China's requirements broaden.

Inflation, Telematics and Trailer Partners Extend the Ecosystem

Aperia Technologies combines automatic inflation with pressure sensing in Halo Connect i3, supplied exclusively to Goodyear's subscription since March 2025. Platform Science operates a telematics marketplace through which fleets enable third-party tire apps. Krone, a major European trailer builder, shows how trailer OEMs now ship equipment connected from the factory.
