The global market for automotive tires is projected to have a considerable CAGR during the forecast period. Post-COVID-19, the market will be driven by the increasing automobile production & sales, advancement in tire manufacturing technology, and the rise in competition among tire manufacturers. Besides, the demand for next-generation high-performance tires is growing due to the less noise and long durability provided by these tires, which, in turn, further drive the growth of the market. Furthermore, cohesive government initiatives to improve road safety are also anticipated to fuel the market growth in the future years. For instance, in February 2021, the UK Government passed a new law according to which, tires that are more than 10 years old cannot be used on the front steered axles of HGVs, buses, coaches, and all single wheels fitted to a minibus (9 to 16 passenger seats) to improve the road safety in the country.

However, fluctuating price of raw material, and chances of accident due to tire bursting are the major concern for the market. Continuous development by the major market players in the manufacturing technology & material and investment for the manufacturing of new plants are also expected to provide an opportunity for market growth in the near future.
