The automotive tire market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $132.89 billion in 2023 to $140.64 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the growth of the automotive industry, the adoption of radial tires, globalization and changes in supply chain dynamics, adherence to regulatory standards and safety requirements, and shifts in consumer preferences.

The automotive tire market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $176.08 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. Projected growth is driven by market adaptation to changing vehicle types, the rise in autonomous vehicles, sustainability initiatives, demand for all-terrain and all-weather tires, and a shift towards high-performance tires. Key trends include advancements in tire technology, a shift towards electric vehicles (EVs), focus on fuel efficiency, and the use of sustainability and eco-friendly materials.

The automotive tire market is experiencing growth driven by the increasing production of vehicles and the rising popularity of electric cars, pickup trucks, and similar light commercial vehicles. Notably, statistics from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers reveal a substantial increase in the total number of vehicles produced from January to September 2021, reaching 57.2 million units compared to 52.1 million units in the same period in 2020. This surge in vehicle production is anticipated to propel the automotive tire market as it caters to the expanding automotive fleet globally.

The automotive tire market is poised for growth, driven by the ongoing development of electric and hybrid vehicles. Electric vehicles, powered by electricity through electric motors, and hybrid vehicles, which combine multiple power sources, have specific requirements for optimizing energy efficiency, range, and overall performance. Automotive tires play a crucial role in meeting these demands, catering to the distinct characteristics of electric and hybrid drivetrains. The market is witnessing an upswing as reflected in the European Environment Agency's report, indicating a 28.35% increase in registered battery electric cars in Europe, reaching 1,126,682 in 2022 compared to 878,092 in 2021. Additionally, the International Energy Agency reports a nearly doubled sales figure of electric vehicles, totaling 6.6 million in 2021, representing almost 9% of total sales. This surge underscores the pivotal role of automotive tires in supporting the growth of electric and hybrid vehicles.

Automotive tire companies are increasingly investing in the development of airless tires designed for both passenger and commercial vehicles. These zero-pressure tires offer significant advantages, ensuring zero downtime and enhanced productivity for commercial vehicles, while also contributing to improved safety and performance for all vehicle types. In a notable move, Goodyear entered the airless tire market in November 2021, introducing its own airless tire to rival Michelin's Uptis. The innovative design of non-pneumatic tires, shared by Goodyear and Michelin, employs a network of spokes to maintain wheel stiffness, enabling it to function without traditional air pressure. This approach represents a notable shift in tire technology, providing enhanced durability and performance compared to conventional tires.

Major players in the automotive tire market are actively engaged in developing cutting-edge solutions, including tire pressure sensors, to secure a competitive advantage in the industry. Tire pressure sensors, also referred to as TPMS sensors, are compact electronic devices incorporated into each wheel as part of a vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). A recent example is the launch of the XENSIV SP49 tire pressure monitoring sensor by Infineon Technologies AG in September 2023. This sensor integrates pressure and temperature sensors with an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), providing enhanced functionality and performance. Featuring a robust 32-bit Arm M0+ core, the sensor enables advanced tire capabilities such as on-tire auto-position sensing, tire inflation assistance, tire blowout detection, and load detection. This innovation reflects the ongoing efforts within the automotive tire market to introduce state-of-the-art technologies that enhance safety, efficiency, and overall tire performance.

In June 2021, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, a well-known US-based tire manufacturing company, successfully acquired the Cooper Tire and Rubber Company for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition brings together two prominent tire companies, merging their complementary product portfolios, services, and capabilities. The aim is to establish a more robust U.S.-based leader in the global tire industry. Cooper Tire and Rubber Company, also based in the United States, is recognized for its expertise in tire manufacturing.
