Radial tire aftermarkets are gaining significant momentum, attributed to increasing replacement rate of truck tires as a good vehicle maintenance practice. Periodic maintenance is pivotal to ensure the longevity of any vehicle. Obsolete parts may prove to be a hindrance in the long run. In addition, regular tire replacement helps ensure safety of the vehicle.

Strong and new tires are especially helpful in maintaining road grip and avoid skidding, which could lead to fatal accidents. The aftermarket segment is slated to record steady growth in the truck and bus radial tire market in spite of the slowdown ushered in by COVID-19.

Regional Outlook of Truck and Bus Radial Tire Market

Regionally, the Asia Pacific truck and bus radial tire market shall retain its dominance, with India, China, ASEAN countries, and Japan spearheading regional growth. A proliferating transportation sector due to the presence of numerous manufacturing industries is escalating growth.

Besides this, the aforementioned countries are also some of the largest rubber producers, a key ingredient in TBR tire production. For instance, in India, total natural rubber output increased by nearly 10% in 2019-20 fiscal. This factor is also driving TBR tire production across Asia Pacific, allowing it to enjoy a significant truck and bus radial tire market share.

Truck and Bus Radial Tire Market Trends

Burgeoning e-Commerce to Catapult Growth: Rising e-Commerce penetration has expanded the scope of transportation and logistics. As more people become acquainted with the virtual world, online shopping for products such as consumer electronics, foodstuffs, beverages, medical products, cosmetics, etc., has surged. Consequently, prominent vendors are strengthening their logistical chains by incorporating more trucks in their existing fleets. This is ultimately accelerating demand for tires with a strong road grip, an objective that is readily fulfilled by radial tires.

Increased Reliance on Public Transport: Reliance on public transport systems such as metro trains, buses, and carpools is increasing on a daily basis. Concerns regarding environmental pollution due to private car ownership is accelerating this trend. As governments across the world invest heavily in developing a robust public transport infrastructure, demand for truck and bus radial tires is experiencing an upward trend. Rising electric vehicle production, especially buses, is also stimulating growth of the TBR tire market.

Heightened Awareness about Vehicle Maintenance: Fleet managers, logistical companies, and commercial truck & bus owners are becoming highly aware about the importance of vehicle maintenance. Vehicle maintenance is a critical aspect of an efficient transportation system.

Physical wear and tear needs to be addressed on a regular basis. In this light, vehicle owners are accelerating spending on radial tires, as they provide enhanced sidewall flexibility, reduced fuel consumption, softer rides, and greater stability on the road. Additionally, radial tires also have a longer lifespan due to reduced frictional heat.

Moderate Deceleration Anticipated amid COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly hindered the transportation and logistics sector. Government-imposed shutdowns to curb the virus’s spread has disrupted production cycles across prominent manufacturing industries, causing output to decline. Due to decelerating output, a gap in the demand-supply equation persists, leading to a slump in the logistics sector. This has directly impacted the TBR tire market. This sluggishness shall prevail throughout 2020.

However, rising e-Commerce activities and gradual easing of restrictions on transport are restoring growth to previously projected levels. High demand for various consumer and industrial goods through virtual marketing platforms is aggrandizing the need for proper transportation systems to supply goods, providing traction to the TBR tire market.

The Analyst’s Viewpoint

“An amalgamation of technological advancements, rapid e-Commerce sector boost, and rising number of last-mile deliveries are anticipated to contribute significantly to market growth. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in moderate downswing, which is expected to last until 2020-end.”
