Airless Tires Market Trends




  • The rising demand for fuel-efficient tires propels the market growth.




The increased demand for fuel-efficient tires is driving the market CAGR for airless tires. Crude oil prices per barrel have risen fast over the last decade, while crude oil availability has decreased with each passing day. The continuous Middle East hostilities have limited oil supply from oil-producing countries, resulting in the current rise in oil prices. According to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), spot crude oil prices per barrel jumped by roughly 56% in the first quarter of 2020 compared to 2019. The big airless tire manufacturers are working hard to seize this opportunity. They produce tires that are specifically designed and developed to provide reduced rolling resistance, lower fuel consumption, and increase vehicle mileage.


Bridgestone Corporation (Japan), for example, designed its ECOPIA tire series to cut energy waste and fuel usage by up to two gallons every month. It has also working on designing a tire that will give a 25% reduction in tire rolling resistance by 2020. In 2017, the business produced a tire that reduced rolling resistance by 19%.


Furthermore, governments and other regulatory organizations throughout the world are establishing and proposing tire labelling legislation and initiatives in order to promote vehicle efficiency, reduce the negative environmental effects of traditional tires, and raise knowledge of airless tires. For example, Japan began introducing a voluntary tire labelling system for passenger cars in 2010. South Korea began adopting required tire labelling laws in November 2016. The European Parliament and the European Council proposed regulation (EC) No. 1222/2009 for labelling tires in terms of critical factors such as fuel economy in order to boost safety, promote fuel efficiency, reduce noise levels, and allow customers to make informed purchasing decisions.
