The advent of radial tires has revolutionized the market of pneumatic tires. Radial tires are now designed and developed with advanced features to enhance the durability and performance of vehicles.

For instance, Bridgestone developed an advanced technology radial tire, “Revolutionarily Reinforced Radial”, which improves the tire durability by optimizing the inflation pressure.

Radial tires segment accounted for 68.8% of the total tire market by value in 2014, registering a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period.

Increasing demand of radial tires has been observed in the Asian countries such as China, Japan and India. OEM tires segment is expected to evolve in near future owing to improving global economy and subsequent rise in automotive manufacturing.

However, the replacement tire segment had generated around 74.6% of total market revenue in 2014, and would continue to dominate the market in future. Major factors contributing to the market growth are growing automotive sector and increased prices of the tires.

In addition, overloading of vehicles, poor road conditions and extreme weather conditions have considerably boosted the replacement tire market.

Asia-Pacific is forecast to be the most lucrative market for pneumatic tires. Increased automobile production in the Asia-Pacific region has led to a promising growth rate of pneumatic tires market.

The rapidly increasing automotive production in the region is a direct result of the growing population, increasing disposable income and favorable government initiatives aimed at boosting the automotive sector. For instance, the Indian government now allows 100% FDI in the automotive sector, a factor that would significantly boost the prospects for offshore market players in this region.
