Segments - Aircraft Tires Market by Aircrafts (Military, Commercial [Narrow-body and Wide-body], Business, Regional, and Helicopter), Product Types (Radial and Bias), End-users (Aftermarket and OEM), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) - Global, Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecasts, 2023-2031
The Global Aircraft Tires Market size was valued at USD 1.73 Billion in 2022 and is expected to surpass USD 3.10 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. An aircraft tire is used in aircrafts for withstanding heavy loads for short durations. Natural rubber is a key component used for manufacturing aircraft tires, which provide a greater life expectancy and make less susceptible to weathering. The numbers of tires that are required in an aircraft amount to increase with the increasing weight of an aircraft.
The tires help to distribute the weight of an aircraft evenly. The tread patterns on an aircraft tire are designed in a manner that it provides maximum stability in high crosswind conditions, prevents aquaplaning, and provides braking effect. The two types of tires used in aircraft applications are radial tires and bias-ply tires. Aircraft tires are made keeping in the view of ensuring the strict standards and regulations prescribed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to ensure highly safe and quality tires.
Increasing government spending on military upgrade and rising demand for commercial aircrafts are key factors fueling the market.
Rising investment in maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) activities of aircrafts and shorter replacement cycle of aircraft tires are expected to drive the market in the coming years.
Increasing cost of aircraft tires and limited number of manufactures are major challenges, which are expected to hamper the market growth.
Technology advancement that helps to improve safe landing cycle of aircraft tires is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for market players during the forecast period.

In the terms of aircrafts, the market is categorized into military, commercial, business, regional, and helicopter. The commercial segment is further divided into narrow-body and wide-body aircrafts. The commercial aircraft segment held considerable share of the market in 2020 and is projected to hold significant market share during the forecast period owing to increasing number of air passengers and rising air traffic due to expansion of commercial airlines. The commercial aircrafts have a very short and frequent landing cycle; due to which, aircraft tires need to be serviced and replaced frequently.
Based on product types, the aircraft tires market is bifurcated into radial and bias. The radial segment constituted a significant market share in 2020 and is projected to expand at a rapid rate during the forecast period. The segment growth is due to increase in demand for the product types due to its excellent properties such as lighter weight tires, which have higher maneuverability and durability.
On the basis of end-users, the market is segregated into aftermarket and OEM. The aftermarket segment is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period due to increasing demand for wide-body and narrow-body aircrafts for military and commercial purposes. These aircrafts requires constant maintenance and service, thus boosting the segment.
In terms of regions, the global aircraft tires market is classified as into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America constituted a significant share of the market in 2020 due to wide events mergers and acquisitions conducted by the key regional market players. Moreover, increase in demand for low cost carriers (LCCs) is expected to drive the market. The market in Asia Pacific, however, is expected to dominate the global market due to increased focus on product innovation and rising number of international travelers from the region.
Key players in the global aircraft tires market are Desser Holdings LLC; Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company; Bridgestone; Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Limited; Aviation Tires & Treads LLC; Specialty Tires of America; Petlas; MICHELIN.; Qindago Sentury Tire Co. Ltd.; and Wilkerson Company. These players engage in mergers & acquisitions, collaborations, agreements, and partnerships to strengthen their geographical presence.
