The Global Market for Tire Cord is Projected to Exceed 5.2 Million Metric Tons by 2022
Growing Automobile and Tire Production to Drive the
Global Market for Tire Cord, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive
analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, market size
and demand forecasts on the global Tire Cord market. The global
market for Tire Cord is projected to exceed 5.2 million metric tons by 2022,
driven by steady growth in tire production, technology developments, stable
automobile production and sales, high demand for replacement tires, and rising
rate of tire radialization.
Tire cord, an engineered
material used in tire manufacturing to reinforce the rubber matrix of tires, is
the backbone of tire carcass which helps in providing comfort, safety, and
stability to vehicles. Tire cord is a shaped or twisted structure made out of
single or multiple tiered strips of inorganic material such as steel or organic
polymers such as polyester, rayon or nylon. Tire cord is used as a
reinforcement material for different types of tires including light vehicle
tires, passenger car tire, heavy vehicle tire, and off-the-road tires to increase
the durability and strength of these tires. The global tire cord market is
directly linked to the dynamics of the automotive industry and the general
economy, in addition to other factors such as vehicle sales and production, tire
radialization and tire production trends. Opportunities in the tire cord market
are particularly influenced by tire production and OEM automobile production
levels. Higher number of automobiles produced translates into increased use of
tires, which in turn creates the need for tire cord in the production of OEM
tires. Therefore, disruptions in automobile production tend to distort
opportunities in the tires market and subsequently in the tire cord market.
Steady growth in world
motor vehicle population and growing automobile production as a result of the
global economic development are driving growth in the tire cord market. In
particular, increasing sales of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles will
continue to drive demand for tires and subsequently for tire cord. The growing
demand for two-wheelers and off the road (OTR) vehicle tires is also driving
demand for tire cord in tire production. In addition to the OEM demand,
replacement demand will spur opportunities in the aftermarket. The growth in
the tire cord market continues to benefit from the trend towards radialization.
The global demand for radial tires is on the rise driven by key performance
benefits, such as improved fuel efficiency, lower rolling resistance, better
safety and longer tire life. Against this backdrop, demand for polyester and
steel tire cords is growing significantly in the production of radial tires,
due largely to their beneficial physical properties such as high tensile
strength. While radialization in passenger cars has reached full circle in most
developed countries, significant untapped opportunities exist for trucks and
buses, especially in developing countries. Rising popularity of radial tires in
Asia-Pacific is driving the demand for steel
cords.
As stated by the new
market research report on Tire
Cord, Asia-Pacific represents the largest as well as the fastest
growing market worldwide with a CAGR of 6.3% over the analysis period. The growth
in the region is led by strong demand for automobiles including passenger cars,
commercial vehicles and two-wheelers in India, China, and South Korea. The
large automotive production base in the region with China emerging as the
global leading manufacturer of passenger cars and commercial vehicles,
continues to transform Asia as the most prominent market for tires and tire
cord.
