Report Description
The global tire material market size was valued at around USD 73.61 Billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 104.50 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the rapid increase in vehicle sales and low rolling resistance.
A tire is an important component of a vehicle, as it is designed to provide a footprint to match the weight of the vehicle. Tire materials include reinforcing fillers, metal, elastomers, plasticizers, chemicals, and other materials. The two principal synthetic rubber polymers are used in the manufacturing of tire are styrene-butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber. Rubber polymers are used in blending with natural rubber, which helps keep the tire inflated and log-lasting.
Using of hydraulic power brakes and other motion-control technologies in automobiles accommodates the use of high-performance tires. Tires are used on numerous vehicles such as buses, heavy equipment, cars, motorcycles, trucks, and aircraft. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted the tire material market due to disruption in supply chain and strict government road safety rules restrains the global market.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Urbanization and globalization have increased the usage of vehicles to transport goods and people. This, in turn, has rapidly increased the production of tires across the globe, thereby fueling the market.
- Companies have heavily invested in improving the quality of tire materials to reduce pollution caused due during manufacturing and recycling processes. Moreover, the demand for tire replacements has increased in emerging economies. These factors are spurring the sale of tires.
- Worn out tires or those with little to no threads on the surface of the tire reduce the grip of the tires on the road, which can cause vehicles to skid, causing accidents. Automotive safety has become a global priority, which in turn, is expected to fuel the market.
- Rising concerns regarding the environment, surging fuel costs, and growing number of initiatives offered by governments to boost the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles is driving the demand for these vehicles. Thus, rising demand for electric and hybrid vehicles is estimated to propel the market in the coming years.
- Polyesters used to make tires are made from petroleum. Fluctuations in raw material prices are anticipated to impede the market. This, in turn, is likely to impede the global tire material market during the forecast period.
- Companies are heavily investing in R&D to reduce environmental effects caused during manufacturing and recycling, which in turn, is boosting the development and demand for eco-friendly tire materials. This, in turn, is expected to create opportunities for market players in the coming years.

Tire Material Market Segment Insights
On the basis of type, the tire material market is divided into solid tires, pneumatic tires, retreated tires, and others. The pneumatic tires segment held a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to rising customer preference for using pneumatic tires due to their features such as superior traction, braking efficiency, fuel economy, and capability to allow for a smooth ride experience with less bumping and shaking.
Based on material, the market is classified into elastomers, reinforcing fillers, plasticizers, chemicals, metal reinforcements, textile reinforcements, and others. The elastomers segment is projected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to the rising demand for tires from the automotive industry. Elastomers include natural rubber and synthetic rubber that are used in tire production. This improves the life span of tires and reduces the consumption rate of fuel.
In terms of vehicle, the market is segregated into passenger cars, trucks, buses, LCVs, and others. The share of the passenger cars segment is expected to rise in the coming years due to increasing government investments in production and the introduction of advanced passenger car models.
On the basis of region, the tire material market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period due to rising population, high production of vehicles, easy availability of raw material and skilled & cheap labor, and growing adoption of improved technology. The market in North America is expected to expand at a significant pace in the coming years owing to the presence of the largest roadway network, rapid urbanization, and high disposable income.
