Retreading tires are being adapted to meet these requirements, offering durability and performance suitable for EVs.

Market Drivers

Cost Efficiency

The demand for Retreading tires in Brazil is largely driven by their affordability compared to new tires. Retreading tires allows consumers and businesses to reduce operational costs, which is particularly significant in the transportation and logistics sectors, where tires are subject to heavy wear and tear. Retreading tires offer substantial savings, enabling companies to allocate resources to other operational areas.

This cost-effective alternative has gained traction among small to medium-sized businesses and fleet operators, who face budget constraints and need to maximize their investments. Brazilian Association of Rubber Manufacturers (ABR) and ANIP (National Association of the Rubber Industry), retreaded tires account for about 25% of the tire market in Brazil. The cost of retreading is 30-50% less than buying new tires, which appeals to fleet operators, especially in the logistics and transportation sectors.
