Automotive Tire Replacement: Introduction
- Automotive tires are replaced to increase the average life of the vehicle and to provide a smoother ride. Other reasons that warrant the replacement for tires include when inflation pressure of the tire is not maintained, driving on harsh terrain, and replacement of both the tires when the tread of one tire has worn out.
Key Drivers of Automotive Tire Replacement Market
- Rise in adoption of heavy-duty commercial vehicles in mining and construction projects increases the demand for replacement of automotive tires. Developing countries across the globe are witnessing a large number of on-going mining and construction projects that employ light and heavy-duty commercial vehicles for their daily work. These vehicles work on harsh terrain; hence their tires wear rapidly and the need for tire replacement is high for heavy-duty commercial vehicles.
- The COVID-19 pandemic played an important role in the tire replacement market, as all the original equipment manufacturing was closed and automotive production was also stopped, which further propelled the tire replacement market. In the current situation, all the construction and mining projects have restarted and there are no lockdowns and restrictions on the national and inter-national boundaries, which in turn is increasing the use of vehicles and subsequently, propelling the automotive tire replacement market.
Asia Pacific hold significant share of global automotive tire replacement market
- The automotive tire replacement market in Asia Pacific is projected to expand at a notable growth rate due to rising population, growing urbanization, and increasing investment in the infrastructure development and automotive production. China and India have significantly high population, which is estimated to fuel the adoption of passenger and light commercial vehicles in the region and boost the market. Moreover, the aftermarket segment of the automotive sector in Asia Pacific is expanding, which in turn is also projected to drive the automotive tire replacement market.
- Original equipment manufacturing in China was penalized during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to sharp decline in demand, which in turn hampered the market. However, this demand was dynamic in Europe and North America due to continuation in economic activity, which in turn is estimated to propel the automotive tire replacement market in these regions.
