Market Insights
APAC accounted for the largest share of the industry in 2023, of approximately 50%. This can be mainly because of the presence of many tire manufacturers in India, Japan, and China.
These components are themselves in high demand because of these countries growing automotive industry, which has, thus, increased the requirement for tire molds.
North America is likely to advance at a significant compound annual growth rate during this decade. The widespread infrastructure expansion in this continent has led to the extensive acceptance of heavy trucks, for which OTR tires are manufactured.
The existence of key end users and companies in the U.S. is also driving the industry expansion.
The two-piece category is leading the industry. These molds are produced using two separate portions, which are attached together to make a single mold.
They are regularly utilized for larger tires as they offer greater stability and precision in the process of production.
The segmented category will advance at a higher compound annual growth rate, of 4.5%, in the years to come.
Segmented molds provide better flexibility and easy maintenance as they are composed of various components that can be dismantled and assembled easily.
The passenger car radial (PCR) tires category accounted for the largest industry share in 2023, of 40%. Radial tires have a better lifespan compared to bias variants because of the existence of perpendicular polyester biases and crisscrossed steel belts.
The sales of cars are higher than in other types of vehicles, therefore tire replacement requirements are higher in them.
The truck and bus radial (TBR) tires category will propel at the fastest compound annual growth rate, of 4.8%, in the coming years. This is because of the rising need for trucks and buses in the growing logistics and transportation industries.
These tires have a greater load capacity as well as robustness. Essentially, rapid urbanization, e-commerce growth, and economic expansion boost this category's growth.
Many players in this industry are enhancing their presence and increasing their business portfolios via acquisitions.
