A construction tire is crafted from layers of rubberized fabric over a rubber liner, with the edges of the fabric piles encircling a wire bead that secures the tire to the wheel rim. These tires offer traction, possess self-cleaning capabilities, and minimize slippage, thereby aiding in preventing machinery from becoming stuck, ultimately saving valuable time and operational costs.
The primary categories of construction tires encompass radial, bias, solid, and other variations. Radial-built tires involve the use of belts positioned just below the tread, along with multiple steel cords extending from the beads throughout the tread, arranged at approximately a right angle to the tread's center line and parallel to each other. Equipment diversity includes excavators, backhoes, bulldozers, graders, wheel tractor scrapers, trenchers, loaders, tower cranes, compactors, and others. Tire sizes range from less than 20 inches, 21 to 30 inches, 31 to 40 inches, 41 to 50 inches, 51 to 60 inches, to more than 61 inches. These products are distributed through various channels, including original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and the aftermarket.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the construction tire market by increasing costs of imported natural rubber, synthetic rubber compounds, steel cords, and tire manufacturing machinery. OEM and aftermarket segments in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported tire components, while Asia-Pacific faces export cost pressures. These tariffs are elevating tire prices and affecting fleet operating costs. However, they are also driving local tire manufacturing expansion, regional rubber sourcing, and innovation in alternative tire materials and designs.

The construction tire market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.76 billion in 2025 to $1.85 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of construction and mining activities, increased deployment of heavy construction equipment, rising infrastructure development projects, growth in aftermarket tire replacement demand, wider availability of specialized construction tires.
The construction tire market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.23 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for durable tires in harsh environments, rising focus on fuel-efficient construction equipment, expansion of electric construction machinery adoption, increasing investments in advanced tire materials, growing preference for low-maintenance tire solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for high-traction construction tires, rising adoption of radial and all-terrain tires, growing focus on extended tire lifespan, expansion of solid and non-pneumatic tire usage, enhanced focus on load-bearing performance.
The growing number of smart city projects worldwide is expected to drive the growth of the construction tire market in the coming years. Smart cities are defined as administrative regions that utilize information and communication technology (ICT) to improve operational efficiency and deliver enhanced infrastructure to residents. Construction tires, including rough tire shreds and smart tires, are used in landfill applications as well as in smart city development projects, supporting the construction of smart buildings. For example, in April 2023, according to the Smart City Index Report published by IMD Business School, a Switzerland-based business school, the number of smart cities rose by 16.3%, increasing from 118 cities in 2021 to 141 cities in 2023. Therefore, the rising number of smart city projects across the globe is fueling the construction tire market.
Major companies operating in the market are introducing construction tires designed specifically for aerial work platforms to maintain their competitive position. Construction tires for aerial work platforms are specialized heavy-duty rubber tires developed to provide stability, durability, and optimal traction for elevated construction equipment such as boom lifts and scissor lifts. For instance, in June 2023, MAXAM Tire, a US-based construction tire manufacturer, launched the MS925 LIFTXTRA tire tailored for aerial work platforms. The tire is engineered with a strong square shoulder profile and a wide footprint to deliver superior strength and stability. Its sturdy square shoulder design and broad footprint ensure maximum performance even under heavy loads, while the self-cleaning R4 tread pattern with deep lug grooves improves handling. Additionally, the extra-thick sidewall enhances durability by offering protection against cuts and damage.
