Tire Machinery Global Market Report 2024

The tire machinery market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.51 billion in 2023 to $2.62 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth observed in the historic period was primarily driven by several factors, including the expansion of the automotive industry, the globalization of trade and supply chains impacting tire markets, the demand within the replacement tire market segment, continuous advancements in tire technology, and the utilization of tire retreading practices. These elements collectively contributed to the growth witnessed in the tire industry during that period.

The tire machinery market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.15 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. In the projected forecast period, growth is anticipated to be fueled by various factors, notably the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and the demand for sustainable tires, the implementation of smart manufacturing practices aligned with Industry 4.0 standards, a heightened focus on the circular economy approach, the rise in commercial fleet operations, and global infrastructure development.

The burgeoning demand for automobiles is anticipated to drive the growth of the tire machinery market. Automotive manufacturing necessitates tires with enhanced durability, strength, and longevity. Tire machinery facilitates efficient and cost-effective tire production, meeting these demands. For instance, in Canada, vehicle registrations soared to 26.2 million in 2021, while motor vehicle manufacturing in the country increased from 3,973,874 in August 2022 to 4,123,572 in December 2022. The increasing need for advanced tires, especially in the realm of autonomous vehicles, propels the tire machinery market's growth.

The growing demand for aircraft is set to drive the tire machinery market. Aircraft, designed for flight within Earth's atmosphere, rely on tire machinery for precision-engineered, high-performance tires, ensuring safe operations. According to the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics, RPT aircraft trips surged by 1.7% to 50,318 trips in June 2023 compared to June 2022. Consequently, the soaring demand for aircraft steers the expansion of the tire machinery market.

Strategic partnerships drive advancements in the tire machinery market. Major companies collaborate to innovate and develop tire manufacturing machinery. For instance, ELDAN, a Denmark-based ELT recycling equipment company, partnered with Pyrum, a German tire machinery company, to expand ELT recycling and tire pyrolysis in Europe in April 2022. Additionally, in November 2021, Apollo Tyres, an India-based company, teamed up with Amazon Web Services to create smart tire factories utilizing IoT, data analytics, and machine learning for tire rubber mixer machines' production.

Advancements in the tire machinery market manifest in the development of high-speed tire pressure testing systems, seeking a competitive edge. Tailored equipment such as the high-speed tire pressure testing system specializes in evaluating tire pressure at elevated speeds. For example, in March 2023, Tekscan Inc., a US-based company specializing in pressure and force sensors, introduced the high-speed tirescan. This system accurately measures dynamic contact patch pressure (DCPP) from tires running at speeds up to 265 km/h (165 mph), offering crucial insights for automotive research, quality assurance, manufacturing, and product design.

In August 2021, Nidec Corporation, a Japan-based motors and generators company, completed the acquisition of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machine Tool Co. The undisclosed acquisition broadens Nidec's manufacturing portfolio, encompassing various machinery tools. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machine Tool Co., based in Japan, is recognized for manufacturing diverse machinery, including tire and rubber machinery.
