Automotive Tire Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Vehicle Type (Electric Vehicle, Commercial Vehicle and Passenger Car), Section Width (<200MM, 200-230MM and >230MM), Tire Structure (Bias, Radial and Other Tire Structures), Material (Natural Rubber and Synthetic Rubber), Tire Type (Summer Tires, Winter Tires and All-season Tires), Rim Size(Less than 15 inch, 15-20 inch and More than 20 inch), Aspect Ratio (<60, 60-70m and >70), Distribution Channel and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automotive Tire Market is accounted for $111.40 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $139.34 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period. An automotive tire is a cylinder-shaped, rubber-coated vehicle part that surrounds the exterior of the wheel rim. The tire's main job is to keep the wheel rim safe and to function as a tractive force between the car and the ground. It also offers a flexible cushion due to the rubber's composition, reducing the effect of vibrations and absorbing stress from the vehicle. A rubber tire is made up of tread, joint-less cap piles, beads, as well as synthetic rubber, carbon black, and fabric.
According to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), passenger vehicle sales in November 2020 were 2,91,001 units compared to 2,79,365 units in November 2019, with a 4.17% growth.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Stringent vehicle safety norms
Governments have updated progressively stricter safety regulations as a result of rising rates of traffic accidents, which in turn is boosting industry expansion. Monitoring organizations in developed nations are mandating that automobiles have modern automotive tires installed in order to reduce the rising accident rates. Furthermore, rising car production and sales move the industry forward. Worldwide vehicle sales growth is driving up demand for automobile tires.
Restraint:
Raw material shortages
The main reason that is projected to impede the market's growth is the supply-demand imbalance for the raw materials used in tire manufacture. Additionally, both makers of vehicles and parts have commercial and regulatory issues as a result of the obligation to achieve a duty-free procedure. Thus, an increase in the remolding of tires and the volatile price of raw materials are expected to create challenges for the market.
Opportunity:
Growing adoption of green tires
Younger people are growing increasingly interested in green tires since they are environmentally friendly and increase mileage, especially in large automobiles. Low rolling resistance green tires can increase a vehicle's fuel economy by at least 2% in commercial vehicles. Green tires, on the other hand, are costly, but they are estimated to be recouped. High Automotive production & rising demand for green tires are attributed for the expansion of the market. These will provide lucrative opportunities for market growth.
Threat:
Lack of awareness in emerging economies
Consumers are well-aware of the benefits of driving CNG and hybrid cars; nevertheless, there is a lack of understanding regarding the benefits of automobile tires and the role they play in lowering fuel consumption. Consumers in emerging markets like India and Indonesia are less interested in the advantages that car tires may provide. This significantly inhibits the demand for vehicle tires.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 effect has had a negative influence on the vehicle tire business. The COVID-19 outbreak compelled governments all over the world to enact strict lockdown measures and limit import-export of products used to produce key raw materials for the majority of 2020 and a few months of 2021. This caused the supply of crucial raw materials for the car tire sector to suddenly decline. Additionally, the distribution and production of vehicles are intricately linked to the selling of car tires. Due to decreased global vehicle sales and manufacture, the pandemic has had a substantial effect on the automobile tire industry.
The passenger vehicle segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The passenger vehicle segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the growing demand for passenger cars from developing countries. Passenger car demand is heavily impacted by economic conditions, which include changes in exchange rates, GDP growth, inflation rates, and government policies. Furthermore, the demand for passenger cars is frequently impacted by changing fuel prices and transportation infrastructure. The demand for passenger vehicles is projected to increase in the future due to the better economic outlook in the United States and the growth of emerging economies like China and India.
The radial segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The radial segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the accurate steering, improved road contact, low heat created while operating, and flexible side walls. Radial tyres also support the growing need for comfort when operating heavy-duty vehicles since they produce traction quickly. Additionally, radial tires greater resilience to tread-related problems is the primary element boosting category expansion.
Region with highest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period, owing to the increased demand for cars in developing Asian nations. Over the projection period, emerging economies like China and India are anticipated to fuel regional growth. These nations are expected to contribute to future growth in the global economy because of their fast expanding domestic consumption, changing standards, affordable labor, and massive population bases. Due to the increasing demand from the rural sector, India is the nation with the fastest-growing LCV and passenger vehicle markets.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the strong demand from the major markets of the European Union. Automobile manufacturing in Europe is a thriving and competitive sector. This is primarily due to the presence of numerous vehicle OEMs, as many of the top automakers in the world have manufacturing facilities in Europe. The region's automobile tyre OEM industry has grown as a result of the enhanced measures implemented by various governments in the area to minimize carbon emissions. Sales of sport-utility vehicles are still rising across Europe.
