What is a TPMS valve stem?
The TPMS valve stem is a carrier with a built-in tire pressure sensor installed inside the tire.
It mainly has two functions:
a. Normal valve function, tire inflation and deflation.
b. Connect the TPMS electronic components to better secure them inside the tire.
Whether it is an aluminum tire valve or rubber tire valve, the sealing components of ordinary tire valves are made of rubber material. Rubber materials will age, crack, etc. If not replaced for a long time, it will cause the valve to leak slowly, resulting in tire damage or unnecessary losses.
TPMS valve stem, due to its function of fixing sensor components, has higher working intensity and is more susceptible to damage from external forces. Regularly replacing the valve can ensure the normal operation of the entire sensor component.

The core difference between TPMS valve stem and ordinary tire valve stem is that it is designed specifically for integrating tire pressure monitoring sensors and is widely used in various vehicles equipped with TPMS, such as passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
What is the market outlook for TPMS valve stem?
Current situation: Many car models in China are now equipped with direct TPMS systems, such as General Motors Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ford, Lincoln, Great Wall Motors, Haval, etc. These models have good sales and ownership in China, and in the future, the valves replaced for these models will all be TPMS valves.
Future market prospects: China has passed relevant laws: starting from January 1, 2019, new car models must be equipped with TPMS system; Starting from January 1st, 2020, all newly produced vehicle models must be equipped with the TPMS system. The replacement demand for TPMS valves in the future will be the same as that of ordinary valves (TR413/TR414) today, and these types of valves can generate long-term profits, which is a foreseeable continuous consumable.
