Tire Retreading Global Market Report 2024

The tire retreading market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $7.32 billion in 2023 to $7.67 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to the realization of cost savings and economic advantages, increased awareness of environmental sustainability, the imposition of strict regulations on tire disposal, global economic factors, and a heightened emphasis on fleet maintenance and efficiency.

The tire retreading market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.92 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to circular economy initiatives, the expansion of commercial vehicle fleets, government incentives promoting sustainable practices, global endeavors to minimize carbon emissions, and heightened consumer awareness. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass progress in retreading technology, the creation of high-performance retreaded tires, the application of cold retreading techniques, the introduction of intelligent retreading solutions, and an emphasis on quality certification and standards, along with the adoption of computerized tread design.

The anticipated growth in the tire retreading market is expected to be fueled by the increasing number of transport and passenger vehicles. Transport vehicles, designed for moving goods or people, and passenger vehicles, which carry no more than 10 individuals, witness a rising demand for retread tires. This cost-effective option not only reduces expenses for passenger car owners but also contributes to waste reduction and the conservation of natural resources. For example, a report by MarkLines Co. Ltd. in September 2023 revealed a 12.7% increase in passenger car sales in August, reaching a total of 280,223 units and a market share of 20.9% in the U.S. The growing fleet of transport and passenger vehicles is thus propelling the tire retreading market.

The expansion of the logistics sector is poised to drive the growth of the tire retreading market. This sector, responsible for the movement, storage, and management of goods within the supply chain, benefits significantly from tire retreading. This practice lowers operational costs by extending tire lifespan, improving fuel efficiency, and reducing environmental impact. For instance, a Logistics UK report in January 2022 highlighted the substantial contribution of the logistics sector to the UK economy, adding $176.3 billion (£139 billion) in gross value added (GVA) in 2021. Accounting for around 11% of the UK's nonfinancial business economy, the logistics sector plays a crucial role in boosting the tire retreading market.

The growth of the tire retreading market may face hindrances due to a shortage of highly trained and skilled manpower. Tire retreading involves intricate processes such as inspection, buffing, repairing, and curing, requiring skilled technicians for accurate execution. A lack of diversity in the tire technician workforce, as seen in the majority being men, can be indicative of a scarcity of qualified workers in the tire care and maintenance industry. The shortage of highly trained and skilled manpower poses a restraint on the tire retreading market going forward.

Leading companies in the tire retreading market are introducing innovative products such as bead-to-bead retreads, aiming to cater to broader customer bases, boost sales, and increase revenue. Bead-to-bead retreading involves applying the retreading process not only to the tread but also to the sidewalls of the tire. For example, in October 2021, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, a prominent US-based tire retreading company, unveiled the RT-3B bead-to-bead retread. This product stands out for delivering optimal performance across various underfoot conditions, suitable for loaders or graders. It expands Goodyear's retread tire offerings, providing operators in the USA and Canada with additional choices for improving efficiency, reducing costs, and minimizing environmental impact in two standard sizes, 20.5R25 and 23.5R25.

In April 2022, Pomp’s Tire Service Inc., a tire and wheel company based in the US, successfully acquired Dale’s Tire & Retreading Inc. The strategic acquisition is geared towards enhancing Pomp’s tire service portfolio by leveraging its retreading network, ultimately offering improved services to customers. Dale’s Tire & Retreading Inc., the acquired company, is also based in the US and specializes in tire retreading.

Tire retreading is a re-manufacturing process that involves adding fresh tread to used tires, effectively extending their lifespan. This practice is employed to provide fleet owners and other vehicle operators with a cost-effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly solution for managing tire replacement expenses and reducing their ecological footprint.

The primary methods of tire retreading include pre-cure and mold cure. In pre-cure tire retreading, the process utilizes rubber that has already undergone vulcanization and carries the imprint of the new tread pattern. These methods find applications across various vehicle types such as heavy trucks and buses, light commercial vehicles, off-road vehicles, and passenger cars. Additionally, they cater to diverse end-users, including automobiles and heavy machinery.
