A tire is a ring-shaped rubber covering that fits around the rim of a wheel. It is manufactured using natural or synthetic rubber, wire, rayon, polyester, fabric, and carbon black. It is commonly available in different sizes and shapes, depending on the vehicle and its intended use. Tires undergo a manufacturing process that involves curing, shaping, and vulcanization to achieve the desired properties and durability. They provide a cushion of air between the wheel and the road surface, enabling the vehicle to roll smoothly and grip the road effectively. They are designed to withstand the weight of the vehicle, transmit driving and braking forces, and offer grip on different road conditions. As a result, tires are widely used in passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, medium and heavy commercial, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and off-the-road (OTR) vehicles.

The significant growth in the automotive industry and the increasing sales of passenger and commercial vehicles are positively impacting the demand for tires. Moreover, the rising need for tire replacements to ensure optimal performance and safety due to wear and tear is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, various product innovations, such as the launch of airless non-pneumatic tires and three-dimensional (3D) printed tires produced from bio-sourced materials, are providing a considerable boost to the market growth. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of specialized tires, such as high-performance, all-terrain, and eco-friendly tires, is propelling the market growth. Other factors, including the flourishing tourism sector, rapid urbanization, and widespread product utilization in mining and construction activities, are supporting the market growth.

GCC Tire Market Trends/Drivers:

Significant growth in the automotive industry

The automotive industry is experiencing growth due to the rising sales of vehicles, which, in turn, is facilitating the demand for tires. Moreover, the increasing number of vehicles on roads to commute and transport various goods is acting as another growth-inducing factor. In line with this, growing consumer inclination towards vehicles with improved performance, safety features, and comfort is positively impacting the market for tires as they directly impact vehicle handling, traction, and ride quality. Besides this, the rising sale of cars and two-wheelers on account of inflating income levels of individuals is providing an impetus to the market growth.

The burgeoning construction industry

The rising construction projects, infrastructure development, and urbanization in the region are one of the key factors contributing to the market growth. The construction industry heavily relies on various types of heavy equipment and machinery, such as excavators, loaders, bulldozers, cranes, and dump trucks, which is propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the increasing demand for specialized tires with off-road capabilities designed to navigate challenging terrains like mud, gravel, and rough surfaces is driving the market growth. Apart from this, the widespread product utilization in fleet vehicles and commercial trucks to transport materials, equipment, and personnel to and from construction sites is augmenting the market growth.

Extensive research and development (R&D) activities

Several companies and manufacturers are focusing on improving tire performance, enhancing safety features, addressing environmental concerns, and catering to specialized tire segments. Additionally, the introduction of all-weather tires that provide reliable performance in all weather conditions, including dry, wet, and light winter conditions, is propelling the market growth. Moreover, manufacturers are developing specialty performance tires for sports cars, off-road tires for SUVs and trucks, racing tires for motorsports, and agricultural tires for farm equipment, which, in turn, is positively influencing the market growth.

GCC Tire Industry Segmentation:

IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the GCC tire market report, along with forecasts at the regional and country levels from 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on design, end-use, vehicle type, and distribution channel.

Breakup by Design:

  • Radial
  • Bias
     

Radial tires dominate the tire market in GCC

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the GCC tire market based on the design. This includes radial and bias. According to the report, radial represented the largest market segment.

Radial tires are widely used in cars, trucks, and motorcycles as they offer a more comfortable ride due to their flexible sidewalls. They absorb road imperfections and shocks, providing a smoother and less jarring driving experience. Moreover, these tires provide better steering response, allowing for more precise control and handling of the vehicle, which, in turn, is strengthening the market growth. Additionally, the widespread product utilization on heavy roads as they dissipate heat more efficiently due to their construction, reducing the risk of tire failure or blowouts, is contributing to the market growth.

Breakup by End-Use:

  • OEM Market
  • Replacement Market
     

 Replacement market represents the leading end-use segment

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the GCC tire market based on the end-use. This includes the OEM and replacement market. According to the report, replacement market represented the largest market segment.

The replacement market refers to the demand for tires that arise when existing tires on vehicles wear out, are damaged, and need to be replaced. The increasing demand for replacement and new tires is favoring the market growth. Tires have a limited lifespan and wear out over time due to factors, such as mileage, road conditions, and driving habits, which, in turn, is acting as a growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the widespread utilization of tires in a wide range of vehicles, including passenger cars, SUVs, trucks, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles, is propelling the market growth. Besides this, the growing demand for tire replacement due to the increasing vehicle adoption and rising expenditure capacities of consumers is providing a thrust to the market growth.

Passenger cars represent the leading vehicle segment

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the GCC tire market based on the vehicle type. This includes passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, medium and heavy commercial vehicles, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and off-the-road (OTR). According to the report, passenger cars represented the largest market segment.

The growing volume of passenger cars creates a significant demand for tires in the market. These cars require periodic replacement due to wear and tear, which, in turn, is propelling the market growth. In line with this, tires play a crucial role in maintaining traction, stability, and control between the passenger car and the road surface, thus favoring the market growth. Moreover, the increasing demand for well-maintained and properly inflated tires in passenger cars to offer precise steering response, better cornering stability, and enhanced braking capabilities is providing an impetus to the market growth. Besides this, tires provide numerous benefits to passenger cars, including improved safety, handling, performance, comfort, durability, and fuel efficiency, which is supporting the market growth.

Breakup by Distribution Channel:

  • Offline
  • Online
     

Offline sales dominate the market, holding the leading market share

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the GCC tire market based on the distribution channel. This includes offline and online. According to the report, offline represented the largest market segment.

Offline distribution channel offers customers the ability to physically inspect and compare tires, receive personalized advice from knowledgeable staff, and benefit from immediate availability and installation services. Moreover, these offline channels help customers to physically examine the tires before making a purchase decision, allowing them to assess the quality, tread pattern, size, and other features. This, in turn, provides a more tactile and sensory experience compared to online shopping, which is favoring the market growth. Additionally, customers’ inclination toward offline channels due to the immediate product availability in urgent situations, such as a tire blowout, is acting as a growth-inducing factor.

Breakup by Country:

  • Saudi Arabia 
  • UAE
