Market Highlights

The global Automotive Retread Tires market is accounted for to register a CAGR of 3.74% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 10865.5 million by 2032.

Rapid growth in the automotive industry across the world has witnessed significant growth in tire consumption, which has led to the rising demand for the automotive tire. U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) projected the U.S. shipment of 342.1 million units in the year 2022 as compared to 335.2 million in the year 2021. As compared to 2021 Original equipment shipments for light trucks, passenger vehicles, and truck tires are expected to rise by 4.8%, 4.8% as well as 7.8% respectively having a total increase of 2.5 million units. Furthermore, the rise in sales of passenger cars around the world such as in 2022, in China passenger car sales rises due to subsidies for EVs. The subsidy has forced the automakers such as Tesla to deepen the discounts to maintain sales. Whereas in India domestic sales of tires are to grow by 7-9% in the year 2022-23, factors such as gradual ease of supply regarding constraints in the passenger vehicle original equipment segment improve the growth of momentum in the commercial vehicle original equipment segment as well as a stable replacement will support domestic demand growth.

Retreading of tires generally comes at almost 40% less than the original developments in new tires and the cost viability offered by retread tires is considered as an essential factor hiking the market development, which is additionally improved by the powerful development of the transportation business. Moreover, the industry news further, suggests that the retread tires and tire retreading are nature-friendly solutions and thus, are seeing help from various managing bodies empowering the utilization of retread tires.

Segmental Analysis

The Automotive Retread Tires segmentation, based on process type, includes Pre-cure and Mold-cure. Among them, Pre-cure segment held the largest market share of 66.9% and is expected to dominate the market over the anticipated period. It is a pre-cure style of tire retreading which involves the use of rubber that has already been vulcanized having the new tread design. A fine layer of cushioned gum is put on the tread area of the new buffed tire as well as the precured tread is applied. This cushioned gum work as a bond for attaching the new layer of the pre-cured tread to the tire. The tire is then put within a curing chamber for completing the adhering stage.

According to sales channel, the segment is divided into OEM, and aftermarket. The OEM segment held the majority share in 2022 contributing around ~ 83.45% to the market revenue. The processes in the OEM segment include the production, procurement, and installation of the automotive retread tire.
