Global Four-Wheeler Tires Market, By Tire Type, By Operation Type, By Application, By Weight, By Distribution Channel, Estimation & Forecast, 2017-2030

Global Four-Wheeler Tires Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period 2022-2030

The global four-wheeler tires market held a market value of USD 167.59 billion in 2021 and is estimated to reach USD 320.76 billion by the year 2030. The market is projected to list a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period.

The advent of numerous cutting-edge technology, rising car sales, and replacement cycles have all impacted demand trends in the sector. The safety, effectiveness, and total mileage of a vehicle are greatly influenced by the tyres. The development of sophisticated tyres that aid in better grip and durability as a result of increased R&D investments has increased demand. Unfavorable weather, road conditions, and vehicle overloading are also anticipated to increase market demand throughout the projection period.

The increasing strategic activities of companies fuels the growth rate of the market. For instance, Apollo Tires launched a new product in cross-ply technology for the commercial vehicle (CV) segment in India in April 2021. In addition to that, JK Tire established a cooperation with JBM Auto in April 2021 to supply radial tyres for JBM Auto's CITYLIFE CNG and ECOLIFE electrified buses. Also, Nokian Tyres PLC announced in March 2021 that it will increase its passenger car tyre production capacity at its Finnish facilities by roughly 30%.

Rapid infrastructure development in developing economies, particularly India and China, has resulted in an increase in commercial vehicle and construction vehicle sales. Vehicle manufacturers can make significant money from the replacement and aftermarket tyre industry. Customers prefer high-performance tyres to ordinary rubber tyres because rubber tyres wear and break readily.

Growth Influencers:

Government investments in logistics & transportation

As businesses strive to become carbon neutral by 2050, they are using green energy in their tyre manufacturing processes. They are doing this by making investments in green energy, energy-efficient equipment, and zero-carbon products. For instance, the Michelin Group declared in February 2021 that it was trying to have all of its tyres completely sustainable by the year 2050. Michelin collaborated on this with a number of groups, including Axens, IFP Energies Nouvelles, Pyrowave, Carbios, Enviro, and BlackCycle.

Increasing vehicle production

The rising demand and sales of vehicles boosts the growth of the market. For instance, India is another important market in the area. After a rough third quarter, passenger vehicle sales there improved and reached 3,10,294 units in October 2020, up 14.19% from 2,71,737 units in the same month last year. The Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) reports that passenger vehicle sales increased by 4.17% in November 2020 to 2,91,001 units from 2,79,365 units in November 2019. The sales of new car tyres for vehicles in 2020 decreased by 36,439,000, or 17%, year over year, according to the '2020 Domestic Demand for Automobile Tires' report published by the Japan Automobile Tyre Manufacturers Association (JATMA). Due to COVID-19's impact, the first half of 2020 was impacted; nevertheless, demand for new car tyres started to propel soon after.
