Global mud tire (MT) market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7% during 2021-2028. The market growth is attributed to rising demand for off-road vehicles across the globe.

Mud tires, also known as mud terrain tires, are tires used for off-road vehicles (ORVs). These tires typically have aggressive track pattern and lugs with self-cleaning bars to discharge mud and other materials on tires. These tires are made from elastic compound and are primarily designed and produced to suit rough terrain, unpaved, and mud or gravel surfaces. An off-road vehicle is a type of vehicle used to climb on or drive off gravel surface and zigzag terrains. The vehicles, equipped with large tires and high capacities of flexible suspension, are widely used in traveling off-street tracks of mountains and deserts.
Market Drivers, Restraints, Trends, and Opportunities
- Rapid growth of the automotive industry and the rising number of ORVs owners across the globe are the key factors that boost market growth.
- Increasing adoption of the ORVs for the military and defense purposes in areas such as deserts is another key driver for the market growth.
- Growing sports activities related to ORVs, rising inclination towards travel and expeditions to mountains or deserts, and exploring terrains of less travel areas especially mountains are some key factors driving the market expansion.
- High cost of mud tire acts a major restraining factor that can hamper the market expansion during the forecast period.
- The production of mud tire has been hampered during 2020 owing to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This can be a major challenge expected to restrict the market growth.
