Automotive Tire Market Improved Lifespan of Vehicles is Propelling the Growth of the Market Due to enormous technological developments in the recent past, the usual lifecycle of the vehicles had significantly increased from 10.5 years in 2010 to 12 years in 2018. Different factors, such as rising competition among automobile manufacturers and increasing government regulations, have resulted in the development of vehicles’ durability and dependability over the years. Moreover, in recent years, it is seen that customers are buying additional units of small crossover vehicles and are also possessing their older vehicles for longer span than before. This changing consumer behavior is predicted to further increase the number of tire replacements required within a vehicle’s lifespan. Further, with the more mileage being provided by vehicles, the probabilities of depreciation of tires have amplified significantly, which cause the need for replacing the tires more often. Thus, the rising overall life of the vehicles is driving the growth of the automotive tire market. Segmentation Analysis of Automotive Tire Market The passenger cars category held the largest share in the automotive tire market in 2018, and is expected to continue being the largest category during the forecast period.
