Tire and wheel handling equipment refers to specialized machinery and tools designed to lift, transport, mount, balance, and align tires and wheels in automotive and industrial environments. These systems enhance efficiency, reduce manual labor, and improve safety in repair shops, manufacturing facilities, and logistics operations.
The primary types of tire and wheel handling equipment include wheel balancers, tire changers, tire inflators, wheel alignment systems, and lifting equipment. A wheel balancer is a device used to detect and correct imbalances in a vehicle's wheel and tire assembly. It is utilized for various vehicle types such as two-wheelers, passenger vehicles, and commercial vehicles, and operates in manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic modes. This equipment serves various end-users, including automotive repair shops, tire service centers, motorcycle repair shops, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) automotive dealerships.

This tire and wheel handling equipment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The tire and wheel handling equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.94 billion in 2024 to $4.18 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as rising vehicle production, higher tire replacement rates, increased use of heavy-duty vehicles, and growing demand for tractors and construction equipment.
The tire and wheel handling equipment market size are expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.96 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the growth in automotive production, increased adoption of puncture-proof tire technologies, a preference for lightweight materials, the rise in the use of nanotechnology, and the growing penetration of electric buses and commercial EVs. Key trends during this period include the integration of nanotechnology, 3D-printed tires, AI-based tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), adaptive tire technology, the use of bio-based and recycled materials, and the development of water-based and solvent-free adhesives.
The growing demand for the automotive industry is anticipated to drive the expansion of the tire and wheel handling equipment market. This sector includes the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Factors such as increased consumer demand, advancements in manufacturing technologies, and the growing shift toward electric and sustainable vehicles are contributing to the rise in demand. Tire and wheel handling equipment plays a crucial role in improving efficiency, safety, and precision in the processes of mounting, dismounting, transporting, and storing tires and wheels. This, in turn, enhances vehicle manufacturing, maintenance, and repair processes, while reducing manual labor and minimizing workplace injuries. For instance, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders projected in January 2025 that car and light van production in the UK would reach around 839,000 units in 2025, 930,000 units by 2027, and exceed 1.1 million units by 2030. As the automotive industry continues to grow, the demand for tire and wheel handling equipment is expected to rise accordingly.
Companies in the tire and wheel handling equipment market are focused on introducing innovative solutions, such as next-generation tire changers, to improve efficiency, safety, and automation. These advanced tire changers are designed to simplify the process of mounting and demounting tires from wheels with minimal manual intervention. For example, in April 2023, Coats Company, a US-based manufacturer of wheel service equipment, introduced the Maxx Tire Changer series, which includes the Maxx 70, 80, and 90 models. These tire changers are designed to enhance durability and efficiency in tire servicing, featuring flexible power options, dual nozzle inflation, and robust construction suitable for high-volume service environments. These features are beneficial in improving productivity and reducing downtime in tire service centers, making them ideal for high-demand operations.
In December 2022, Calspan Corporation, a US-based automotive testing service provider, entered into a partnership with Link Engineering Company to develop advanced tire testing equipment. This collaboration aims to combine Calspan's engineering expertise with Link's manufacturing capabilities to enhance testing efficiency, improve data quality, and accelerate market entry for tire manufacturers, particularly those focusing on electric and automated vehicles. Link Engineering Company specializes in manufacturing tire and wheel handling equipment.
