Agricultural Tires Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Tire Type (Bias Tires and Radial Tires), Equipment Horsepower (0-80 HP and 81-200 HP), Sales Channel Type (OEM and Replacement/Aftermarket) Application and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agricultural Tires Market is accounted for $9.94 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $17.26 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. Agriculture tires are intended only for use in farms or other agricultural settings, as their name suggests. These tires have a 45-degree slant on the diagonal thread. The tractor can move fast in mud and soil because the treads have the most traction possible. Agriculture tractors, combine harvesters, sprayers, trailers, and skid steer loaders are just a few examples of the many various types of machinery that are available in a range of sizes and diameters. For a lifetime of better performance and to be durable both on and off the field, these are manufactured of rubber of the highest grade. In order to provide traction on slick terrain, they are highly ribbed and voided. Both the stability and fuel efficiency of these tires have improved.
According to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), the sales of farm tractors decreased in March 2020% by 15.6% in the U.S. as compared to 2019, and the self-propelled combined sales declined in March by 11.9%
Market DynamicsDriverThe increasing demand for tractors
Tractor sales are fuelled by population shifts from rural to urban areas, increased labor costs, and a shortage of competent personnel in the majority of emerging nations. One of the primary causes of the growing demand in the farming sector is a lack of farm labor and rising costs. The lack of available manpower will drive the market for agricultural tractors. Farm labor expenses are directly correlated with the proportion of a nation's total population that is employed in agriculture when simple demand-supply economics and the shift of labor from urban to rural areas are taken into account. As a result, farm owners spend money on farm equipment to lessen their reliance on manual labor and cut down on the time and effort needed for farming.
RestraintTire disposal and waste management
Regulations governing tire disposal and waste management can pose challenges for agricultural tire manufacturers. Environmental regulations often require proper disposal and recycling of end-of-life tires to minimize environmental impact. Compliance with these regulations can involve additional costs and complexities for manufacturers, including the establishment of tire collection and recycling programs. Meeting these regulatory requirements can impact the overall cost structure and competitiveness of agricultural tires.
OpportunityIncreasing focus on new technologies
The agricultural sector is embracing new technologies to improve productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. These advancements include precision agriculture, automation, data analytics, and IoT integration. Agricultural tires can leverage these technologies to enhance their performance, durability, and overall value proposition. Additionally, integration of smart tire technologies such as tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), tire condition monitoring, and embedded sensors can provide real-time data on tire health, performance, and maintenance requirements. This data enables farmers to optimize tire usage, prevent potential failures, and improve overall operational efficiency.
ThreatPrice volatility of raw materials
Price volatility in raw materials can create challenges in maintaining price competitiveness in the agricultural tire market. If the prices of raw materials increase significantly, manufacturers may be compelled to pass on the additional costs to customers, potentially leading to higher prices for agricultural tires. This can make agricultural tires less attractive to price-sensitive customers or create opportunities for alternative solutions, such as retreaded tires, which are typically more affordable.
Covid-19 ImpactThe COVID-19 epidemic has had a global influence on society and the economy. With the closure of all the large industries, there is no demand for agricultural products or vehicles, which is anticipated to hinder market growth. Producers are working on methods to decrease stockpiling, such as output reduction, employment losses, and others. The tire industry is directly connected with the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) hence, it will face huge losses until the lockdown is over. The producers are also working on strategies, such as production cuts, to reduce stockpiling, as the tire manufacturers are also experiencing a shortage of storage space due to lockdown.
The bias tire segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The bias tire segment held the largest share in the market owing to the increasing demand. Bias tires are widely used in India and China because they are made of natural rubber, which is primarily produced in those two nations. Additionally, the bias tire's crosshatch structure and inexpensive price are likely to increase demand. Low raw material costs translate into lower production costs for the final product. However, the segment's expansion is probably going to be constrained by the declining supply of natural rubber. Natural rubber also makes tires more rigid, which reduces their uniformity after usage, jeopardizing the farm tire's round shape and shortening their shelf lives.
The tractors segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
During the projection period, the tractors segment is expected to have the greatest CAGR. High horsepower tractors are popular because they may be utilized for a variety of farming tasks. As a result of tractors becoming more well known and used in the business, tire demand is also rising. Due to the introduction of various harvester types to meet farming needs, the demand for farm tires in the harvesters segment is anticipated to increase. For instance, John Deere has developed crop-specific harvesters to fit farmer needs, making it simpler to harvest crops like maize and sugarcane. Long agricultural expanses now have a greater need for harvesters as a result.
Region with largest shareThe Asia Pacific region market is estimated to witness the highest share of the global Agricultural Tires market during the forecast period, due to the expanding population, rising middle-class discretionary income, and the quick industrialization and urbanization. The expansion of the farm tire sector may also be aided by the region's presence of both small and large-scale manufacturers. Bias farm tires are produced using manufacturing techniques and materials that provide good load capabilities at reasonable prices. Natural rubber is the primary raw material needed to make bias tires. As a result, it is anticipated that the Asia Pacific region's plentiful supply of natural rubber in countries like Thailand, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, China, and Malaysia will increase demand of the market in the region.
Region with highest CAGRThe North America region is expected to have the highest growth rate over the forecast period. This growth can be attributed high demand for agricultural goods owing to rising living standards, foreign investments and increased consumption. Moreover, growing agricultural industry of countries such as the U.S. and Canada in the region is leading to growing demand for agricultural tires. Along with this, the mechanization in agriculture is also growing in the region, which is also driving the market growth of the North America region.
