Pneumatic tires are rubber tires filled with air under pressure, commonly used in various vehicles such as forklifts, tractors, and cars. They have strong rubber treads and excellent shock absorption, which help stabilize the vehicle and reduce bumps and jolts.
The main types of pneumatic tires are radial tires and cross-ply tires. Radial tires refer to a type of tire design where the cords are arranged at 90 degrees to the direction of travel, or radially from the center of the tire, and provide greater durability and performance. They are used in several vehicles, such as two-wheelers, four-wheelers, passenger cars, aircraft, and others. The various sales channels include original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket.

The pneumatic tire market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $392.55 billion in 2024 to $433.01 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of the automotive industry, economic conditions, environmental regulations, rising vehicle fleet, consumer preferences.
The pneumatic tire market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $601.46 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to globalization of trade, raw material prices, government initiatives, infrastructure development, competition among tire manufacturers. Major trends in the forecast period include technological innovations, smart tires and sensor integration, innovations in tire materials, advancements in tire design and technology, tire connectivity and vehicle-to-tire communication.
Increasing automobile production is expected to propel the growth of the pneumatic tire market going forward. Automobile production refers to the process of assembling components to build automobiles, trucks, and other motor vehicles. Pneumatic tires are used in modern transportation systems as they allow vehicles to travel over various surfaces, including asphalt, concrete, gravel, dirt, and sand. For instance, in May 2023, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based automobile industry, 85.4 million motor vehicles were produced globally in 2022, representing a 5.7% increase from 2021. Therefore, increasing automobile production is driving the growth of the pneumatic tire market.
Major companies operating in the pneumatic tire market are focused on introducing innovative solutions, such as pneumatic single-axle drive tires, to drive their revenues in the market. Pneumatic single-axle drive tires refer to a type of air-filled tire designed to be used in commercial trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles for long-haul trucking and other heavy-duty applications. For instance, in March 2023, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, a US-based tire manufacturing company, launched the Fuel Max 1AD, a type of pneumatic tire specifically designed as a premium single-axle drive tire for use in super-regional trucking jobs. The tire is built with an innovative tread shape and combines features and compounds meant to deliver extended miles to removal. The new Fuel Max 1AD tire has additional features and advantages such as a high-density waffle blade, a hybrid Lug-to-Rib tread pattern, and an innovative new tread composition.
