Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from unit volumes: annual production and parc of heavy trucks, trailers, buses and off-highway vehicles by region, the attachment rate of automatic tire inflation or central tire inflation equipment on those units, and the realised system price by vehicle class and channel (OEM fitment versus aftermarket retrofit kit). Trailer parc and annual build figures come from national trailer-manufacturer associations and axle-shipment data, since axle and rotary-union sales are a close proxy for CTIS/ATIS unit volumes. That bottom-up figure is then checked against the disclosed commercial-vehicle-component revenue of the named suppliers; where a supplier's reported segment revenue implies a materially different attach rate than the bottom-up assumption, the attach-rate or price assumption is corrected rather than averaging the two figures.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews are directed at fleet maintenance and procurement managers who set retrofit and specification budgets, at trailer and truck OEM engineering staff who decide factory-fit programs, at component distributors who see retrofit order volumes directly, and at defense-procurement contacts for central tire inflation programs on military platforms. Sampling weights North America and Europe, where fleet-level tire-management programs are most established, with additional coverage in China and India to capture the shift toward factory-fitted systems on newer truck and trailer platforms, and dealer service-network staff who install retrofit kits are included to capture regional differences in aftermarket uptake.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on national trailer-manufacturer association production counts, truck and bus registration data from vehicle-registration authorities, HS code 8481-series customs records for pneumatic valve and rotary-union trade flows, defense-procurement contract registers for central tire inflation programs, and the segment disclosures in named suppliers' annual filings. Tire and axle industry trade-body benchmarks on aftermarket attach rates for wheel-end equipment are used to cross-check the retrofit share of the market, and investor presentations from the named suppliers are read only where they break out a commercial-vehicle-component or trailer-running-gear segment separately from total revenue.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast carries forward the attach-rate curve for factory-fitted systems on new truck and trailer builds, the retrofit cycle on the existing trailer parc, and unit price trends as electronics content in control modules increases. It assumes fuel-efficiency and tire-wear-reduction targets set by fleet operators continue to favour automatic systems over manual pressure checks, and that mining and defense fleet modernization programs already announced proceed on their stated schedules. A slower pace of factory fitment than assumed, or a delay to announced off-highway fleet renewal programs, would lower the forecast most in the vehicle types where system fitment is not yet standard.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Historical 2020-2024 growth was back-tested against recorded truck, trailer and bus production volumes over the same years to confirm the implied attach-rate path is consistent with known vehicle-parc growth. Segment-level share shifts, including the move toward wheel-end systems and factory fitment, were reviewed against supplier product-line disclosures. Sensitivities were run on the attach-rate assumption for factory-fitted systems and on the retrofit cycle length for the existing trailer parc, since those two assumptions carry the most weight in the resulting forecast.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

The heavy-truck and trailer segments carry the firmest basis, since production volumes and axle-shipment proxies are well recorded and the largest suppliers report component-level revenue. The military and mining sub-segments rest on thinner public disclosure, since defense-procurement figures are not always itemised by system and mining-fleet retrofit programs are reported irregularly. A materially different pace of factory fitment on new trailer builds, or a change in defense procurement timing, would be the most likely source of revision.
