SKU ID : INH-14245456 | Publishing Date : 01-May-2019 | No. of pages : 100

Market Overview

The global Automotive Tires market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.22%, during the forecast period, 2019-2024.

Some of the major factors driving the growth of the market are increased production and sales of high-end cars, growing focus towards fuel economy, rising demand for convenience, and high maintenance or replacement costs of conventional tires. However, end-usage limitations may hinder the growth of the market.

The demand for retreading of tires is increasing at a significant rate. The retreading of tires helps to reduce the operating cost significantly in the aftermarket, as it helps to prevent the tires from a complete replacement, and thereby, is a cost-effective option. The casings can help to provide multiple life cycles, resulting in significant cost saving, especially for the commercial fleet operators.

Additionally, there is an emerging trend in the market, which is expected to act as an opportunity for the growth of the market. For instance, increased use of bio-oils in the manufacturing process of tires, are expected to boost the growth, owing to rising demand for the ecological tire manufacturing process. Orange oils, extracted from orange peels, are used in the process to help reduce the amount of petroleum used in tires.

Scope of the Report

A tire is the most crucial part of a vehicle. It supports the weight of the vehicle, transmits vehicle propulsion, and braking, and reduces the impact of weird road conditions and at the same time, helps to maintain the vehicle’s direction. The tire manufacturers need to consistently modify their production technology and introduce new products in the marketplace to support the increasing demands, especially from the OEMs and consumers.

The global automotive tires market has been segmented by tire type, by end-user, and by vehicle type.

The demand for high-quality and safe tires were the main reasons for automakers and end-users to prefer products from renounced manufacturers than the smaller regional players. Furthermore, these big players have increased their R&D spending exponentially to integrate innovation with performance excellence.
