In 2013, the global demand for TPMS reached 29.39 million sets, with the assembly rate of up to 33.67%. With the growing prevalence of TPMS products in the EU and other regions, the global TPMS demand will hit 54.77 million sets in 2017, with the average annual growth rate of 16.83% and the assembly rate of over 50%.
China's recommended technical standards for TPMS came into effect on July 1, 2011 formally, but mandatory installation regulations have not been enforced. In recent years, the practical demonstration in western countries, the propaganda of manufacturers concerned and the intensified awareness of some consumers stimulated more attention to TPMS and higher market demand. The demand for OEM TPMS jumped 32.8% year on year to 2.47 million sets in 2013, with the assembly rate of 11.18% which was 1.53 percentage points higher than the figure in 2012.
