The migration of people from rural to urban regions, rising labor costs, and lack of skilled labor in most developing countries fuel tractor sales. Farm labor shortage and rising costs are among the main reasons for the increasing Market CAGR of the farming industry. The increasing need for operational efficiency and the rise in labor costs are expected to boost the agricultural tires market revenue over the forecast period. The market for agricultural tractors will be driven by limited labor availability. Considering simple demand-supply economics and the transfer of labor from urban to rural areas, farm labor costs are directly linked to the percentage of a country's entire population employed in agriculture. Hence, farm owners invest in farm equipment to reduce dependency on human labor, reducing the time and effort taken for farming.Farmers increasingly invest in less workforce equipment to work at optimum capacity. Although these equipment types come with a high initial investment, they help improve overall crop quality and quantity. Many farmers are scaling down their agricultural operations and leasing out a portion of their farms to offset rising labor costs.As more farmers reduce their dependency on labor, tractor sales are expected to witness healthy growth in the coming years, thereby driving the demand for tractor tires over the forecast period.
Additionally, Agricultural vehicles are utilized in the farm and agriculture industry to carry out major day-to-day operations. Vehicles are utilized for agricultural operations, for example, in crop plotting and scouting, for selecting rocks, for irrigation purposes, and so on. Nowadays, most of the work is done using this machinery in the fields, which leads to the replacement of tires at regular intervals, which is expected to boost the growth of the agriculture tire market during the forecast period.
Based on type, the agricultural tires market segmentation includes bias and radial tires. The bias tires segment dominated the market; bias tires are high in India and China as these tires are manufactured using natural rubber, which is produced majorly in the two countries. In addition, the crosshatch construction of the bias tire, coupled with its availability at low cost, is likely to fuel its demand.The cost of raw materials is low, which, in turn, decreases the product's manufacturing cost. However, the decreasing natural rubber supply will likely restrain the segment's growth. In addition, natural rubber increases the rigidity of the tires, which loses uniformity after use, compromising the round shape of the tire and decreasing its shelf life. Radial tires are manufactured with steel ply, which increases durability, along with bead-to-bead construction at an angle of 90 degrees to the circumferential centerline, which increases the flexibility of tires and reduces the rolling resistance, resulting in improved performance. This will likely drive the demand for radial tires in agricultural vehicles over the forecast period.The cost of radial tires is high due to synthetic rubber and modern manufacturing technology requiring high-cost machinery.

Based on application, the agricultural tires market segmentation includes tractors, combine harvesters, sprayers, trailers, loaders, and others. The tractors segment dominated the market. tractors with high horsepower are widely preferred as they can be used for different farming activities. As a result, the demand for tires is also growing with the increasing popularity and use of tractors. The demand for farm tires in the harvesters segment is expected to grow due to the introduction of several types of harvesters to suit farming needs. For instance, John Deere has introduced crop-specific harvesters to meet the requirements of farmers, resulting in the ease of harvesting crops such as sugarcane and corn. This has led to an increased demand for harvesters for long patches of farms.
Based on sales channel, the agricultural tires market data includes OEM and aftermarket. The OEM segment dominated the market. The demand for farm tires through the OEM channel is increasing for new agricultural vehicles, such as tractors and harvesters. The demand for these vehicles is high in developed economies, as farmers can afford the newly introduced, expensive farm equipment that aids in executing farming activities on large patches of land. The demand for new tires through aftermarket channels is expected to grow due to the presence of different types of platforms, such as online, authorized dealers, and third-party dealers.
