Automotive Tire Aftermarket Market Analysis

Manufacturers of brake friction products face a significant challenge as vehicle components live longer. OEMs prefer long-lasting brake friction products that fade less quickly due to controlled friction, reduced wear, reduced noise, and reduced roughness. Additionally, OEMs and manufacturers consider durability across a resistance to water washout, wide service temperature range, clean assembly of brake-Caliper components, road contaminants, and oxidation, and when developing brake friction products. Regenerative braking has been used in battery-operated electric vehicles in recent years. The electric vehicle manufacturers are adopting advanced frictional products to smoothly run the vehicles. Metal rotor discs are used in the manufacturing of electric vehicles. With the increased sales of electric vehicles, the demand for the Automotive Tire Aftermarket market is growing at a rapid pace during the forecast period as these brake frictional products are lighter and highly efficient. Therefore, with the increasing demand for eco-friendly transportation with high demand for electric vehicles, there is expected to be ample opportunity for the Automotive Tire Aftermarket market growth.

Automotive Tire Aftermarket Market Overview

The most significant part of a vehicle is the tire, which is positioned on the rims and transfers vehicle propulsion. Tires also absorb and reduce the impacts of multiple road conditions. Materials such as fabric, wire, natural rubber, carbon black, synthetic rubber, and other chemical compounds are used to manufacture automotive tires. Tire manufacturers are constantly spending on research & development to produce high-performance tires and incorporate nanotechnology into tire manufacturing.

An automotive tire consists of a tread and a body. The tread provides traction while the body provides containment for a quantity of compressed air. Before rubber was developed, the first few versions of tires were simply bands of metal fitted around wooden wheels to prevent wear and tear. Early rubber tires were solid (not pneumatic). Pneumatic tires are now used on many vehicles, including cars, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, trucks, heavy equipment, and aircraft. Metal tires are still used on locomotives and railcars; however, solid rubber (or other polymers) tires are used in various nonautomotive applications, such as casters, carts, lawnmowers, and wheelbarrows.

Automotive Tire Aftermarket Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Demand for Fuel-Efficient Tires

Fuel is one of those commodities whose prices are constantly changing. In recent years, the price has continued to rise rather than fall. Consumers might save money by installing fuel-efficient tires on their vehicles. Fuel-efficient tires are also known as low rolling resistance tires. Rolling resistance is the force necessary to keep the automobile moving at any given speed. The degree of friction exerted on the tires determines the quantity of fuel and energy to be used. Low rolling resistance tires require less power to maintain rolling, thereby reducing total fuel usage. Low rolling resistance tires are in high demand due to growing consumer demand, climate change, and a lower overall carbon footprint of fuel-efficient tires than standard tires. For instance, Michelin Energy Saver A/S All-Season is widely regarded as one of the best fuel-efficient tires and is a popular choice among most drivers. These factors lead to the growth of the automotive tire aftermarket.

Increased sale of electric vehicles and surge in demand for the tubeless tires is expected to create ample opportunity for the market growth

Electric vehicles require specific tires. According to the vehicle manufacturer, its tire must have greater weight than internal combustion cars and transmit more torque to the road when driving after a halt. Tire noise is more noticeable in electric cars than internal combustion vehicles because of their near-silent powertrains, mainly hidden by engine noise. The introduction of electric vehicles and their significantly lower propulsion noise emission allow assessing tire-road noise with higher accuracy via cruise-by measurements, even at speeds where a combustion engine propulsion system would usually disturb the measurement results. The rolling resistance rating provided by the European Union tire label has been used as the primary selection criterion for potential tires for EVs.
