COVID-19 Impact on the Global Tires Market
COVID pandemic has a major impact on the market in terms of sales as more than 44% of sales of units are hampered owing to disruption in transport capabilities of the manufacturers due to stringent norms of lockdown and increasing safety concerns.
Manufacturing operations have been halted, and the supply chain has been disrupted, resulting in a drop in tire exports in the pandemic. The costs of raw materials hold 65-70 percent of overall tire cost. When there is an increase in the cost of raw materials such as nylon and polyester, as well as rubber fluctuating pricing of raw materials, takes place, which is a major challenge that the tires market faced due to the covid-19 pandemic.
Tires Market Segmentation Analysis
In 2025, the Type segment is dominated by Tubeless Tyres, which hold the highest demand due to their superior safety, durability, and fuel efficiency compared to traditional tube tyres. Tubeless tyres reduce the risk of sudden air loss and offer better heat resistance, making them widely preferred across passenger and commercial vehicles. Tube Tyres, while still in use in certain low-cost and rural applications, are witnessing declining demand due to technological advancements and shifting consumer preferences toward more reliable alternatives. Overall, tubeless tyres continue to be the standard choice in modern automotive applications.
Based on Vehicle Type, Passenger Cars represent the most dominant segment in 2025, driven by increasing vehicle ownership, urbanization, and rising disposable income levels globally. The growing demand for personal mobility and comfort significantly boosts tire replacement and OEM demand in this segment. Two Wheelers also contribute significantly, particularly in emerging economies where motorcycles and scooters are primary modes of transportation. Meanwhile, Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles and Light Commercial Vehicles maintain steady demand due to logistics, construction, and industrial activities. Off-The-Road (OTR) vehicles show niche but stable demand, primarily in mining and agriculture sectors.
