OTR (Off-the-Road) tires are specifically designed for vehicles that frequently traverse challenging terrains, providing the necessary support to guide these vehicles through difficult conditions while bearing substantial weights.
The primary categories of OTR tires include radial tires, bias tires, and solid tires. Radial tires are characterized by plies that start radially and run from bead to bead around the tire, with steel belts positioned at a 90-degree angle to the tread line. This arrangement allows the tire's sidewall and treads to function independently. The manufacturing processes involve Pre-cure and mold cure. Various vehicle types utilizing OTR tires include loaders, dump trucks, graders, cranes, dumpers, tractors, and forklifts, categorized by sizes such as up to 30 inches, 30-50 inches, and above 50 inches. These tires are distributed through different sales channels, including original equipment manufacturers and aftermarkets. End-users span industries such as construction and mining, industrial applications, agriculture, and others.

This OTR tires market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The OTR tires market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.66 billion in 2024 to $10.19 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rapid economic growth, the increase in construction activities, the rise in mining activities, and government subsidies.
The OTR tires market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.84 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growth in the agricultural industry, the rising urbanization, and the rising infrastructure investment. Major trends in the forecast period include focusing on tire sensors and artificial intelligence to monitor tire performance, focusing on introducing and developing tires with sustainable and green materials, focusing on airless tires that do not require air pressure, focusing on developing innovative tire designs, focusing on product launches and developing new products and focusing on strategic partnerships and collaborations.
The anticipated growth of the OTR (Off-The-Road) tires market is driven by the widespread use of agricultural machines in day-to-day activities. Agricultural machines are integral to farming operations, and the shift towards automation, prompted by higher labor costs, has led to increased machine hours in agriculture. This trend has resulted in a higher demand for agricultural tractors and machinery equipped with OTR tires. Projections by the United States Department of Agriculture estimate a significant increase in world trade for commodities such as soybeans and maize by 2031. Similarly, India's growing foodgrain production demands an additional 5 million tons by 2030. Consequently, the prevalent use of agricultural machinery is a key factor propelling the OTR tires market.
The OTR tires market is expected to experience growth due to rising infrastructure investments in the forecast period. Urbanization and improved living standards contribute to increased infrastructure development, necessitating heavy-duty vehicles such as construction equipment and mining trucks, which rely on OTR tires. Notably, the Indonesian government has committed to a substantial investment of $430 billion in public infrastructure development by 2024. India also plans to invest around INR 50 trillion ($777.73 billion) in infrastructure by 2022. This surge in infrastructure investment is set to drive the growth of the OTR tires market.
New product innovations have become a significant trend gaining traction in the OTR (Off-the-Road) tires market. Innovations such as tires designed to enhance tread wear and provide increased comfort for drivers are becoming increasingly popular. For instance, in March 2024, Goodyear, a US-based tire manufacturer, introduced the RL-5K OTR tire, which features a three-star load capacity rating, making it suitable for heavy-duty loaders and wheel dozers. This tire enhances durability and performance for demanding operations, showcasing substantial advancements in OTR tire technology with a focus on efficiency, durability, and operational performance. Furthermore, in December 2023, JK Tyre, an India-based tire manufacturer, unveiled 11 new OTR tires at the CII EXCON event in Bengaluru, including the notable JK Tyre 18.00-25 40PR Port Champion Plus. This tire is specifically designed for reach stackers and features deep treads, a precise pattern, and a heavy rubber center, ensuring durability, mileage, and exceptional steering performance.
Airless tires are gaining traction in the OTR (Off-the-Road) tires market. Unlike traditional tires, airless tires do not require air pressure to support a vehicle's weight, making them more reliable, safer, and longer-lasting. One of the key advantages of airless tires is that they cannot go flat, as they do not have internal tubes that can fail. For example, in January 2022, Hankook, a South Korea-based tire manufacturer, introduced the i-Flex airless tire concept. This innovative tire features a biomimetic design inspired by the cellular structure of living organisms, providing excellent shock absorption and load-bearing capacity. The airless design eliminates the risks of punctures and air loss, thereby reducing maintenance costs and enhancing safety. Additionally, its multi-layer interlocking spoke design improves stability and durability, making it particularly suitable for autonomous vehicles.
In March 2022, OTR Tyres, an Australian tire, wheel, and service provider, acquired Titan Australia for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition aims to strengthen OTR Tyres' market presence and improve its ability to deliver products and customer service throughout Australia. Titan Australia specializes in the design, development, and manufacturing of wheels for the off-highway industry.
