A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key factors driving the market growth is the increase in demand for M and HCVs. There have been revolutionary changes in the global commercial vehicle industry in the areas of application, advanced system integration, and electrification of components and systems. In addition, the demand for M and HCVs is growing rapidly in developing economies, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, members of ASEAN, and countries in Latin America.
Moreover, there is growth in the commercial vehicle industry due to the ongoing developments in the field of world infrastructure, road networks, urbanization, logistics, trade, and shipping activities. In addition, such developments are leading to fundamental changes in the transportation concept, especially in tier-1 and tier-2 cities. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market growth is the rising demand for premium quality retreading. Premium quality retreading is gaining traction in the US due to the growing preference for premium retreading over budget tires. In addition, the demand is high in large fleets and heavy goods vehicles, which demand retreaded tires with enhanced durability and rolling resistance.
Moreover, several companies like Marangoni Tread North America Inc., a subsidiary manufacturer of Marangoni, have already introduced their blackline rings line, a premium quality retreading system. In addition, several prominent players are focusing on premium quality retreading to target only the niche market segment to avoid any price war with Chinese players in the US. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
The availability of low-cost new tires poses threats which is one of the key challenges hindering the market growth. There has been an increase in demand with the supply remaining the same over the last decade. As a result, it led to a shortage in the market, which fuelled the retreading tire industry significantly.
Moreover, the recession reduced demand, while new factories increased the supply in the market. Therefore, this versed the scenario with plenty of new tires in the market at a historically lower cost. In addition, imports from China further reduced the price and bridged the price gap between new and retreads significantly. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

The precure segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 3.31 billion in 2018. Moreover, precure retreading manufacturing requires lower investment and incurs lower follow-up costs compared with the mold cure process. In addition, the manufacturers can run decentralized, smaller production units for their precure process, which results in massive savings on logistic costs and initial investment and gives flexibility to the operation. Furthermore, the flexibility facilitates manufacturers to cure multiple tires at the same time in one chamber. Therefore, the time required to retread a greater number of tires decreases, giving more revenue-generating opportunities to the manufacturers. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
In the United States, the market caters primarily to heavy and light commercial vehicles, offering a cost-effective alternative to single tire manufacturing.
