Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The rise in sales of passenger vehicles globally is driving the market. The global automotive tire market is experiencing growth driven by the increasing sales of various passenger vehicles, including sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs, MPVs, crossovers, and vans. These vehicles have longer lifespans, resulting in a continuous demand for tires. The BRIC countries, namely Brazil, Russia, India, and China, have become key growth markets for the automotive industry due to their economic expansion and the competition among global vehicle manufacturers. In the US, the average age of vehicles in use is rising, reaching a new record of 12.5 years.
The improved durability and construction of vehicles lead consumers to keep their vehicles for longer periods. As a result, there is a growing demand for automotive replacement parts, including tires, to maintain and service these vehicles. With vehicles being used for extended periods, regular maintenance and tire replacements become essential. This creates a higher demand for tires through both offline and online channels. Consequently, the global automotive tire market is expected to witness significant growth in line with the increasing sales of passenger vehicles during the forecast period.
The development of airless tires is the trend in the key automotive tire market. Non-pneumatic automotive airless tires have rubber treads that are filled with a mixture of rubber and plastic. The spokes on these tires help distribute heat better. Airless tires, on the other hand, have limited operational capabilities, so they are only suitable for certain vehicles like ATVs, heavy industrial vehicles, and off-highway commercial vehicles like golf carts, construction vehicles, and agricultural vehicles. Major tire manufacturers have been working on prototypes of airless radial tires since 201, so the development of these tires for automotive applications is still in its early stages.
In recent years, tire manufacturers have introduced specific models of airless radial tires, showcasing continuous innovation in this field. For example, Crocodile Tyres launched the 50-510-900Mk1 airless tires for heavy industrial vehicles in 2018, while Michelin partnered with General Motors to introduce their Unique Puncture-proof Tire System (Uptis) in 2019. The Michelin Uptis offers enhanced durability and reduced vulnerability to punctures compared to conventional pneumatic tires. However, airless radial tires face challenges related to their operational limitations, such as heat generation and higher rolling resistance. Consequently, they are primarily suitable for low-speed vehicles with a maximum speed of around 65 km/h. To overcome these challenges, tire manufacturers are actively researching alternative tire tread designs and materials. The development of these technologically advanced airless tires holds the potential to drive growth in the global automotive tire market during the forecast period.
Environmental issues due to automotive tire manufacturing activities are challenging the market growth. During the production of automotive tires, the manufacturing plants release a substantial amount of hazardous air pollutants, which have detrimental effects on the local air quality. This poses a significant environmental and air pollution concern. To address this issue, regulatory bodies have implemented regulations to limit emissions during the tire manufacturing process. These regulations will impact automotive tire manufacturers, as they will be required to invest in expensive after-treatment systems and heavy machinery to ensure compliance with emission standards.
For example, the US Environment Protection Agency (US EPA) has established the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) specifically targeting tire manufacturing companies. These standards enforce emission limits for hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Manufacturers of automotive tires will need to adopt maximum achievable control technology (MACT) to control emissions of substances like methanol, styrene, formaldehyde, toluene, and hexane, which are known to be volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and can cause various health issues. Compliance with these stringent emission standards poses a significant challenge for automotive tire manufacturers in the forecast period, as they strive to mitigate the environmental impact of their production processes.

The OEM segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 67.94 billion in 2017. OEMs prioritize providing high-quality tires that complement the features and handling capabilities of their respective vehicles. This segment holds a substantial share of the global market, primarily due to the presence of two-wheelers with extended tire replacement cycles. Manufacturers prefer equipping motorcycles and scooters with durable tires to balance production costs, procurement costs, and OEM margins. As two-wheelers are commonly used as cost-effective personal transportation options, OEMs often consider cost-cutting measures when selecting tires to maintain competitive pricing. It is worth noting that many two-wheeler tires are used beyond their recommended replacement period, resulting in longer replacement cycles. Therefore, the OEM segment plays a crucial role in driving the growth of the global automotive tire market during the forecast period.
