The truck and bus tires market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $45.31 billion in 2024 to $46.96 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to global economic growth, expansion of logistics and freight industries, infrastructure development projects, fleet expansion and modernization, urbanization and public transportation needs.
The truck and bus tires market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $56.41 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to e-commerce boom and last-mile delivery, green initiatives and fuel efficiency, renewable energy and electric vehicles, government regulations on safety and emissions, recovery from economic downturns. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of intelligent tire monitoring systems, demand for all-season and specialized tires, rising adoption of radial tires, focus on heavy-duty and load-carrying capacity, development of self-healing tire technology.
An increase in demand for commercial vehicles is anticipated to drive the growth of the truck and bus tires market. Commercial vehicles are motor vehicles designed for transporting goods or passengers for business purposes. These vehicles utilize truck and bus tires, which provide excellent traction across various speeds and weather conditions, along with a high load-carrying capacity and low rolling resistance. For example, in January 2024, Daimler Truck Holding AG, a Germany-based manufacturer of commercial vehicles, reported selling a total of 526,053 trucks and buses in 2023, a slight increase from 520,291 in 2022. Specifically, the Trucks North America segment sold 195,014 units, while Trucks Asia recorded 161,171 units, marking a 3% increase from the previous year. Additionally, Daimler Buses performed well, with 26,168 units sold, reflecting a 9% increase. Thus, the rising demand for commercial vehicles is driving the truck and bus tires market.
The expanding transportation industry is projected to drive the growth of the truck and bus tires market in the future. This industry encompasses various sectors and activities related to the movement of goods, people, and commodities from one location to another, with the truck and bus tires market playing a crucial role in enhancing the growth, efficiency, and sustainability of transportation. For instance, in January 2024, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a U.S. government agency, reported that the U.S. transportation and warehousing sector employed 16 million workers in 2023, accounting for 10.3% of the total labor force and representing a 1.7% increase from 2022. Employment in transportation-related industries rose to 9.5 million workers, with air transportation witnessing the highest growth at 9.1%. Additionally, 24.3% of transportation workers were aged 55 and older, with the transit sector employing the largest proportion of older workers at 37.9%. Thus, the growth in the transportation industry is expected to drive the demand for truck and bus tires.
Hankook Tire & Technology, a South Korea-based manufacturer, introduced the Smart iON AU06+ in October 2022. This truck and bus radial (TBR) tire specifically targets electric vehicles (EVs) and boasts features such as improved fuel efficiency, quick torque response, and heightened load support. With a promise of increasing vehicle mileage by 25% compared to regular tires, it also prioritizes ride quality by ensuring optimal comfort and reducing noise while incorporating a cooling system to manage overheating.
Major companies are strategically collaborating to drive innovation and fortify their market positioning. These strategic collaborations serve as catalysts for innovation, efficiency, and competitive advantage within the industry. An example is the collaboration between CEAT, an India-based multinational tire manufacturing company, and Marangoni S.p.A., an Italy-based green tire manufacturing company, in July 2023. Their alliance aims to enhance tire retreading for trucks and buses in India by leveraging CEAT's quality tire casings alongside Marangoni's advanced retreading technology. Focusing on sustainability, the collaboration endeavors to extend tire life, thereby reducing the environmental impact of the transport industry.
