The green tires market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for green tires has experienced swift expansion over the recent years. Anticipated to escalate from a valuation of $112.19 billion in 2024, it is predicted to reach $125.5 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%.
The significant growth during the historic period can be ascribed to factors such as heightened environmental consciousness, regulatory measures by governments, increasing consumer preference for eco-friendly products, a surge in disposable income, and a greater demand for mobility services.
The green tires market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for green tires is anticipated to experience swift expansion in the coming years, reaching $207.78 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4%.
The upsurge during this forecast period can be credited to the emergence of electric and autonomous vehicles, increasing urbanization, and economic expansion. Significant trends for this period encompass smart tire technology, tires optimized for electrification, collaborations across different industries, and tire-as-a-service models.
The escalating cognizance towards the environment amongst consumers is fueling the expansion of the green tire market. To foster increased understanding, several nations, including the USA, China, South Korea, and Japan, have instituted standards, ratings, labeling and relevant pressure programs for tires. The growing advantages of green tires such as their eco-friendly nature, superior durability, fuel effectiveness, and the ability to reduce carbon emissions are encouraging consumers to prefer them over conventional tires. For example, The Roundup, a non-profit organization based in the US, reported in September 2023 that 78% of consumers considered environmental sustainability crucial and 55% were ready to pay a premium for eco-responsible brands. In 2021, half of the global consumers claimed to have embraced more earth-friendly habits in the prior six months. Consequently, the surge in environmental consciousness concerning the usage of eco-compatible tires is set to stimulate the green tire market's growth.
