Automotive Tire Market by Rim Size (13 inches to 15 inches, 16 inches to 18 inches, 19 inches to 21 inches, and greater than 21 inches), by Design (Radial and Bias), by Tire Type (Tubeless and Tube), by Season (Winter, Summer and All-Season), by Propulsion Type (Internal Combustion Engine and Electric Vehicle), and by Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, Light Commercial Vehicle, and Heavy Commercial Vehicle) – Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast 2024-2030

Automotive Tire Market Overview

The global Automotive Tire Market size was valued at USD 88.05 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 112.82 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 3.6% from 2024-2030. An automotive tire, commonly known as a car tire, is a specialized rubber component used in vehicles, particularly automobiles, to provide traction, support, and stability on the road. It is a cylindrical structure made of layers of rubber and other materials, such as fabric and steel. Automotive tires bear the weight of the vehicle, absorb shocks, and transmit driving and braking forces.

They play a crucial role in ensuring grip and manoeuvrability, contributing to the overall performance and safety of the vehicle. The tire's main purpose is to create a contact point between the vehicle and the road surface, enabling safe and efficient transportation. Automotive tires come in various sizes, tread patterns, load capacities, and speed ratings, allowing consumers to select the appropriate tire based on their specific needs and the requirements of their vehicles.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The robust growth of the automotive industry across the globe is leading to an increase in vehicle production, which is driving the demand for the automotive tire market. As per the latest report published by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, global motor vehicle production reached 85.4 million in 2022, an increase of 5.7% from 2021. This rise in global vehicle production plays a pivotal role in driving the growth of the market, as the escalating demand for tires is driving the demand for the automotive sector.

Moreover, the increasing demand for safer and more secure vehicles is boosting the demand for high-quality tires further accelerating the growth of the market. These tires are designed to address various safety concerns, including grip, stability, and performance in adverse weather conditions. This heightened emphasis on safety features is playing a significant role in accelerating the growth of the tire market, as consumers increasingly prioritize vehicles equipped with tires that enhance overall safety performance.

Furthermore, advancements in tire technology, including innovations aimed at improving vehicle performance, enhancing safety features, and increasing fuel efficiency, are driving the automotive tire market growth. For instance, in December 2022, Continental launched two technologically advanced tires tailored for automotives.

The new tire models are designed to meet the specific needs of drivers, focusing on enhanced performance, safety, and durability. With a commitment to innovation, Continental aims to provide Middle Eastern car enthusiasts with cutting-edge tire solutions that address various driving conditions. This launch underscores Continental's dedication to meeting the evolving demands of the automotive market in the Middle East, offering drivers access to state-of-the-art tire technology.

However, the increasing raw material price of tires along with their susceptibility to punctures and damages are restraining the growth of the market. On the contrary, the introduction of self-sealing and run-flat tires that offer benefits such as enhanced safety, convenience, and reduced downtime in case of tire damage or punctures is anticipated to generate significant opportunities for the growth of the automotive tire market.
