The tire cord market size is forecast to increase by USD 839 million at a CAGR of 2.3% between 2023 and 2028.
The tire cord industry research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD million" for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018-2022 for the following segments.
The steel segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
Steel tire cords, made primarily from steel, are the preferred choice in the tire industry due to their superior stability, reduced resistance, and enhancement of overall vehicle performance. The use of steel in tires not only lowers their cost but also helps manage tire weight. Additionally, steel tire cords protect tires from excessive friction, thereby improving fuel efficiency in cars. Some steel tire cords are copper-plated to ensure better adhesion between the rubber and steel cord. The copper in the tire cord reacts with the sulfur in the rubber to form copper sulfide (CuS), which acts as a natural and strong adhesive.
Steel belts, a type of tire reinforcement, are also widely used in high-performance tires for heavy commercial vehicles and saloon cars. These belts provide increased resistance to deformation and improve tire durability. Furthermore, steel tire cords offer excellent abrasion resistance, making them suitable for off-road vehicles and agricultural equipment. The textile fibers used in tire cords, such as cotton, nylon, butadiene rubber, glass, and rayon, are coated with antioxidants and carbon black to enhance their resistance to flexing, repeated flexing, ozone, and air pressure. The tire industry continues to innovate with technologies like cap ply and cap ply technology, reinforced textiles, and the use of synthetic fibers like polyaramid, polyester tire , and butyl rubber for tire reinforcement. These advancements aim to improve tire performance, durability, and fuel efficiency while maintaining the balance between cost and quality.
The Steel segment was valued at USD 3721.80 million in 2018 and showed a gradual increase during the forecast period.

In 2023, the global deliveries of electric vehicles surpassed seven million units. These included the sales of plug-in hybrid vehicles. However, all-electric vehicles contributed more than 60% of global electric vehicle sales. In terms of geography, China dominated the global electric vehicle sales in terms of units delivered. Europe and US followed China in the number of EV deliveries. The number of EV manufacturers has increased in China over the past couple of years. This is due to the growing demand for new energy vehicles in the country. As a result, the Chinese manufacturers of all-electric vehicles such as BYD Company, BAIC are witnessing increased demand for EVs, leading to significant growth in sales volumes. In addition, the presence of electric vehicles supporting infrastructure, government regulations, and subsidies and incentives on the use of all-electric vehicles are a few of the important factors driving the growth of the tire cord market in China.
In Europe, countries such as Norway, the Netherlands, Germany, Iceland, and Poland dominated the regional sales. In the Americas, the US contributed to significant sales of electric cars during the base year. This has led tire manufacturers around the world to manufacture lightweight EV tires to reduce vehicle torque. Hence, the use lightweight tire cords will be in demand, which in turn, will boost the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
