The number of LCC aircraft grew from 400 in 2009 to nearly 1900 in 2019 and an order of further 2400 aircraft is awaited by LCC airlines in Asia-Pacific region. Also, the high aircraft movements in the region will increase the wear and tear of the tires, which in turn will generate demand for retrofit tires. Further to capture the growth opportunities in the region, MRO players and retrofit providers are opening new facilities in the region. In 2019, GMF AeroAsia and Batam Aero Technic agreed to work with Michelin on the construction of new aircraft tire retreading facility. The rise in safety standards and recent advancements in technology is propelling the rise of commercial aircraft tire market in the Asia-Pacific region. Such factors are driving the growth of commercial aircraft tires in the region.

With the growing emphasis of local manufacturing in China, currently, the country is developing new commercial airliner, COMAC C919, which is planned to enter service during the 2021-2022 period. In June 2020, COMAC signed a strategic partnership agreement with China Express Air to deliver 100 ARJ21 and C919 aircraft. Also, China has the second-largest defence budget in the world and a large part of it is dedicated to the modernization of its air force. The country has plans to develop and deploy new combat and non-combat aircraft in the coming years to enhance its air superiority. The modernisation plans to replacement of ageing aircraft in commercial and military sectors are anticipated to bolster the growth of the aircraft tires market during the forecast period.
