The Europe Agricultural Tires Market size in terms of Equal-5.32 is expected to grow from USD 2.21 billion in 2024 to USD 4 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.32% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Over the medium term, the agricultural sector of Europe has been one of the key land users and thus shapes maximum landscapes in several rural areas. In addition, agricultural land plays the most pivotal role in land use patterns across all the countries of the European Union. According to the European Energy Agency, the European Green Deal set the target that, by 2030, 25% of the EU’s agricultural area should be under organic farming.
Furthermore, the European government has been implementing CEMA AgriTech 2030 plans for bringing better advancement in the European agriculture industry. The AgriTech 2030, which was issued by the government in 2019, maps out its focus on witnessing the future of Europe's industry for its advanced agricultural machinery and solutions towards 2030 end. Under the plans, the government shall remain consistent with CEMA's mission in order to bring better-shared expertise and further shape the EU legislation for benefiting sustainable farming and the agricultural machinery sector.
Owing to a number of economic and environmental factors (direct and indirect impact on the environment due to different production methods and subsidies provided by the European Union to the farmers), high farm consolidation activities in the past few years affected the agricultural machinery market to a significant extent, especially in Europe, driving the demand for agricultural tires.
Farm consolidation necessitates the use of fertilizing and planting machinery to obtain sufficient and proper fertilizing of the crops in larger land structures, thereby facilitating the demand for agricultural tires and making companies focus on new launches. In July 2023, Yokohama Off-Highway Tires’ (YOHT) flagship brand Alliance recently released new sizes of the proven Agriflex+ 372 radial tire for tractors and harvesters in Europe. Thus, the above factors contribute to the market demand.
Replacement/aftermarket agricultural tires are cost-effective when compared to OEM tires. Due to their cheaper price, aftermarket agricultural tires are widespread in the market. Despite being less innovative, aftermarket consumers opt for this category due to its ease of availability and customized selection. In the case of OEM tires, after the warranty expiration, it is difficult for farmers to buy them due to the higher price and absence of a wide range of tire portfolios. The tires can be bought both online and through retail stores. Price fluctuation may vary drastically, depending on the quantity ordered/purchased online or in retail stores.
Players are entering into agricultural tires and are offering both OEM and aftermarket to keep a wider horizon of growth owing to consumer preferences. For instance, In May 2022, Maxam Tires Europe got the approval for its Agrixtra range of agricultural tires on newly selected Holland T5, T6, and T7 SWB and LWB tractors. The approval shall fuel the company's potential to grow both OEM and aftermarket replacement segments.
With changing consumer preferences in terms of cost economy and reliability, consumers are shifting toward the adoption of aftermarket as well. These aftermarket tires are readily available and can be customized based on consumer requirements, whereas OEM tires are offered based on specific parameters that are always kept constant. Thus, keeping consumer preferences at the forefront, these aftermarket tires are expected to witness traction during the forecast period.
France and Germany continued to portray their dominance over agriculture machinery, occupying the largest agricultural tractor markets in Europe. In addition, these two nations account for nearly four of every ten agricultural tractors which are registered in Europe, and tire companies are also focusing on expanding their product portfolio. In October 2023, Continental announced the expansion of its agricultural tire portfolio in Germany, with new sizes for its TractorMaster and CompactMaster AG/EM product lines now available.
Moreover, manufacturers in Germany are offering different variants of tractors to witness improved sales in the market. For instance, in September 2023, Claas used an exclusive press event in Germany to show its new 650hp Xerion flagship for the first time, along with smaller tractors from 75–103hp, a new mower conditioner and entry-size combined with styling and features like a larger model.
Thus, based on the developments and the recovery of the agricultural sector in the country, the demand for agricultural tires is expected to witness growth in the coming years.
In September 2023, AIS Glass Solutions Limited, a subsidiary of Asahi India Glass Limited (AIS), confirmed the acquisition of certain assets of Balaji Building Technologies, Bengaluru (BBT) in BBT’s business of architectural glass processing.
Some of the major players in the market include Bridgestone Corporation, Continental Tires, Titan International Inc., Michelin, and YOKOHAMA.
