Automotive tire is the circular vehicle component made of rubber used to cover the wheel’s rim externally. The major function of the tire is to protect the wheel rim and offer tractive force between the road surface and the vehicle. Since it is manufactured from rubber, it also provides a flexible cushion, thereby reducing the impact of the vibrations and absorbs the shock of the vehicle. Rubber tire consists of tread, jointless cap piles, beads, and other materials, which include synthetic rubber, carbon black, and fabric.
COVID Impact Analysis: With the advent in COVID-19 pandemic across the globe, the Latin America and Caribbean automotive tire market has been affected as the automotive tire manufacturing units have been shut down due to the imposed lockdown in major countries across the Latin America and Caribbean. Similar to the decline of traffic volumes across the country, there has also been a decrease in demand for the aftermarket tires and tire products. The downturn in aftermarket business is due to the decrease in consumers purchasing from local tire retailers.
Factors such as increase in automotive production & sales across different vehicles segment, rise in competition among tire manufacturers and introduction of advanced technology in the manufacturing process are driving the market growth. However, volatile prices of raw materials and development in the market of retreading tires hinder the market growth. Furthermore, advancement in technology and fuel efficiency and safety concerns is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the market growth.

Less than 15 inches is projected as the most lucrative segments
Rise in competition among tire manufacturers
Leading automotive manufacturers continue to invest in the developing countries due to low costs of labor that further decrease the production costs, which will help meet the increase in demand for vehicles. The tire industry has witnessed phenomenal growth in the last decade; also, the automotive sector is experiencing exponential growth due to a rise in the demand for automobiles and use of collaborative & consolidation manufacturing in tire business. This in turn boosts the growth of the automotive tires business. For instance, The Hankook Tire has launched “Dynapro AT2” for on & off-road SUVs. These tires have post optimal performance in all road conditions as it is characterized by quietness and a comfortable ride on-road and a powerful drive on the off-road. Moreover, the leading tire manufacturing company-Bridgestone Corporation also launched BATTLECROSS E50 motorcycle tires for enduro competitions. These tires are launched in one front tire size and two rear tire sizes in the U.S. and Canada. Thus, such new strategies by tire manufacturing companies for the expansion of their business across the globe are witnessing strong competition to capture a larger market share. Also, this factor is responsible for swift changes in the tire market that makes it more dynamic. Therefore, there is a rise in competition among tire manufacturers, which fosters the growth of the market.
Volatile prices of raw materials
Raw materials to manufacture tires include petroleum reinforcing materials such as nylon and polyester. Also, rubber (natural and synthetic) is the basic element required to manufacture tires, which witnesses high fluctuations in cost. The materials used to manufacture rubber tires are tread, jointless cap plies, steel-cord for belt plies, textile cord ply, Bead reinforcement, apex, and core. Also, it consists of synthetic rubber, natural rubber, steel wire, and carbon black along with the petrochemical reinforcing materials such as polyester, fabric, nylon, steel, and rayon. The pricing of these raw materials plays a vital role in deciding the overall price of the tire. Prices of these metals fluctuate occasionally due to global economic ups and downs in the market, as these are traded on a community exchange basis. Inflation and increase in the demand for these raw materials have fueled their prices in the recent past. In addition, players that operate in the automotive tire market require a large amount of raw materials to overcome the demand for tires from the automotive industry. Uncertainty in the pricing of these raw materials prove to be a major restraint for the growth of the rubber tire market.
By Vehicle Type
Aftermarket is projected as the most lucrative segments
Advancement in technology
Due to the rapid enhancement of technology, most of the manufacturing companies are adopting automation to increase the productivity and profitability. As a result of technological advancements in the tire industry, introduction of rimless tires, green tires, and the use of light weight elastomers and metals such as carbon fiber and alloy or composites such as nickel aluminum bronze and manganese bronze to manufacture tires is expected to propel the growth of the Latin America and Caribbean automotive tire market. In addition, leading tire OEMs are using nanotechnology and other technology or software to manufacture different type of tires.
For instance, Bridgestone Tires, one of the leading tires and rubber companies, utilizes Contact Area Information Sensing (CAIS) that senses the road conditions by collecting and analyzing the tire contact area. All these factors are expected to unfold various opportunities for the growth of the market.
