OTR Tires Global Market Report 2024

The otr tires market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.22 billion in 2023 to $9.73 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to swift economic growth, heightened construction activities, an increase in mining operations, and government subsidies.

The otr tires market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.98 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of the agricultural industry, increasing urbanization, and the upward trend in infrastructure investment. Key trends expected in this period involve a concentration on tire sensors and artificial intelligence for monitoring tire performance, an emphasis on introducing and developing tires using sustainable and environmentally friendly materials, a focus on airless tires that eliminate the need for air pressure, efforts toward innovative tire designs, a commitment to product launches and the development of new products, as well as a strategic focus on partnerships and collaborations.

The anticipated growth of the OTR (Off-The-Road) tires market is driven by the widespread use of agricultural machines in day-to-day activities. Agricultural machines are integral to farming operations, and the shift towards automation, prompted by higher labor costs, has led to increased machine hours in agriculture. This trend has resulted in a higher demand for agricultural tractors and machinery equipped with OTR tires. Projections by the United States Department of Agriculture estimate a significant increase in world trade for commodities such as soybeans and maize by 2031. Similarly, India's growing foodgrain production demands an additional 5 million tons by 2030. Consequently, the prevalent use of agricultural machinery is a key factor propelling the OTR tires market.

The OTR tires market is expected to experience growth due to rising infrastructure investments in the forecast period. Urbanization and improved living standards contribute to increased infrastructure development, necessitating heavy-duty vehicles such as construction equipment and mining trucks, which rely on OTR tires. Notably, the Indonesian government has committed to a substantial investment of $430 billion in public infrastructure development by 2024. India also plans to invest around INR 50 trillion ($777.73 billion) in infrastructure by 2022. This surge in infrastructure investment is set to drive the growth of the OTR tires market.

A significant trend in the OTR tires market is the emergence of new product innovations. Manufacturers are focusing on developing tires that offer enhanced tread wear, increased driver comfort, and improved efficiency. For instance, Goodyear introduced the EV-4M Port Handler in March 2021, emphasizing improved tread wear for increased efficiency. The tire incorporates features such as a high-strength bead bundle, sidewall inserts, a stronger wedge, and a durable casing, providing benefits such as improved treadwear, durability, comfort, stability, and operational efficiency.

A notable trend is the growing popularity of airless tires in the OTR tires market. Airless tires, which do not require air pressure, are recognized for their reliability, safety, and prolonged lifespan compared to traditional tires. OTR Wheel Engineering launched the NDX airless tire and wheel system in 2021, addressing the flat tire issue in vehicles navigating rugged terrain. The technology and premium rubber compounds used in airless tires optimize load distribution, energy absorption, and reduce fuel usage by up to 10%.

In December 2021, Bridgestone strategically acquired Otraco, an Australia-based OTR tire manufacturer, for $52.2 million (AUD 79 million). This acquisition aligns with Bridgestone's vision to become a sustainable solutions company by 2050, reflecting the company's commitment to growth and innovation in the OTR tires market.

The primary categories of OTR tires include radial tires, bias tires, and solid tires. Radial tires are characterized by plies that start radially and run from bead to bead around the tire, with steel belts positioned at a 90-degree angle to the tread line. This arrangement allows the tire's sidewall and treads to function independently. The manufacturing processes involve Pre-cure and mold cure. Various vehicle types utilizing OTR tires include loaders, dump trucks, graders, cranes, dumpers, tractors, and forklifts, categorized by sizes such as up to 30 inches, 30-50 inches, and above 50 inches. These tires are distributed through different sales channels, including original equipment manufacturers and aftermarkets. End-users span industries such as construction and mining, industrial applications, agriculture, and others.
