Global Tire Recycling Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2025-2031
The global Tire Recycling market size is predicted to grow from US$ 4856 million in 2025 to US$ 6577 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2025 to 2031.
Tire recycling is the process of converting end-of-life or unwanted old tires into material that can be utilized in new products. End-of-life tires typically become candidates for recycling when they become no longer functional due to wear or damage, and can no longer be re-treaded or re-grooved. Tire recycling can also create new, beneficial products. Tire-derived fuel (TDF) is an example which is produced by subject scrap tires to high-temperature pyrolysis. This is reputed to be more energy-efficient than normal fuel. It also releases minimal emissions. Other useful products created from recycled tires are playground turf, railroad ties, and rubberized asphalt. This process can also help in preventing the spread of diseases. Discarded old tires can provide a nesting place for rodents and mosquitoes. By recycling old tires, those pests can be eliminated. Consequently, diseases brought about by said animals can be prevented.
Global key players of tire recycling include Liberty Tire Services, Genan, CRM Rubber, etc. Asia-Pacific is the largest producer of bottle nipples, holds a share about 30%, followed by North America, and Europe. In terms of product, crumb rubber is the largest segment, with a share over 60%. And in terms of application, the largest segment is construction and civil engineering, with a share about 35%.
The tire recycling market has seen consistent growth, largely fueled by rising environmental concerns and improvements in recycling technologies. As tire consumption continues to rise globally, the need for effective waste management solutions becomes more urgent. This shift is driven by heightened environmental awareness among consumers and governments, with a focus on reducing tire waste and promoting sustainability. Technological advancements have further enhanced the efficiency and profitability of tire recycling, making it a more attractive option for businesses. Recycled tire materials are also finding expanding applications in industries such as construction, road infrastructure, and energy generation, adding to the market’s momentum.
Despite these positive trends, the market faces notable challenges. Tire recycling is capital-intensive, requiring significant investments in specialized machinery and infrastructure. Additionally, market demand for recycled products can fluctuate based on economic conditions, and recycled materials often face competition from virgin rubber and synthetic alternatives. There are also technological limitations in some recycling processes that restrict the types of tires they can process or the quality of the final recycled products.
Opportunities, however, continue to emerge. Ongoing research and development efforts are leading to new applications for recycled tire materials, ranging from sports equipment to automotive components. Further technological advancements could reduce costs and enhance recycling efficiency, while government incentives like tax breaks or subsidies are playing a role in encouraging recycling efforts. As public awareness of the environmental benefits of tire recycling grows, demand for recycled products is likely to follow.
Regionally, Asia, Europe, and North America dominate the tire recycling landscape. In Asia, especially in countries like China and India, the growing automotive industries generate large volumes of tire waste, positioning the region as a major market. Europe, with its strict recycling regulations and advanced technologies, has also seen significant progress. In North America, the focus remains on sustainability and resource conservation.
Looking ahead, the global tire recycling market is poised for continued growth, driven by environmental imperatives, technological innovation, and the expansion of recycled materials into new industries. While challenges like high costs and competition exist, the opportunities for market players to contribute to a more sustainable, circular economy are vast.
