A tire is built by a robotized machine called a tire building machine (TBM). The TBM assembles all semi-manufactured goods such as: tread, sidewall, inner liner, body ply, bead, and cord body together to assemble green tires. There are different stages of building a tire, the first is the green tire. Tire manufacturers are gradually increasing their adoption of automation solutions in their production process to enhance their production capacity and product quality. Leading vendors are searching for tire manufacturing machines which has high production output and low maintenance cost as well as least manpower requirement. With technological advancement, tire building machinery is made to produce large tire dimensions and new tires with sophisticated and more developed designs. Therefore, integration of automation solutions in tire building machinery is expected to drive the market growth in the next few years.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- COVID-19 pandemic has shut down the production of various products in the tire building machinery market attributed to the lockdown in countries worldwide. This has hampered the growth of tire building machinery market from the last few months and is likely to continue during 2021.
- COVID-19 has already affected the sales of tire building machinery in the first quarter of 2021 and is anticipated to cause a negative impact on the market growth throughout the year.
- The major demand for tire building machinery was previously noticed from giant manufacturing countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, UK, and China, which are negatively affected by the spread of the coronavirus, thereby declining the demand for tire building machinery.
- Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on its cash reserves. Tire building machinery machines manufacturers can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players have to modify their investment plans. For instance, various players in the market halted their production activities for several weeks to reduce the expenses. Whereas few players also adopted employee lay-offs to sustain during the COVID-19 health crisis.
- Tire building machinery market are expected to focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond toward immediate crises and find new ways of working after COVID-19. For instance, provision of sanitizers, maintaining social distancing, as well as ensuring the vaccination of every employee in the company can assist in promoting the health & safety of the workforce.
Top Impacting Factors
Increase in demand for replacement tires in passenger and commercial vehicles due to different factors such as constant exposure to wear & tear, harsh road conditions, requirement for seasonal tires, and changing consumer perspective, is expected to drive the growth of the market in the upcoming years. In commercial vehicles, tires have a comparatively short life span and there is a need of replacement after completion of five years of service period. Both developed and developing countries are observing a rise in demand for replacement tires and this inspires manufacturers to boost the production capacity of tire plants. Hence, increase in demand for replacement tires is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. The building machinery companies are extensively adopting automation solutions in their manufacturing process to increase its productivity and decrease their maintenance cost, which is expected to supplement the growth of tire building machinery market. Adoption of IoT in tire manufacturing is anticipated to advance the growth of the tire building industry. Automotive industry is expanding at a significant pace and it leads to increase in number of newly designed car models. Different car models require tires of different patterns and sizes. However, tire manufacturers find it difficult to manufacture specific tires as per requirement, as it results in changing the entire tire-building process. Thus, frequent changes in tire specifications are likely to hinder the growth of the tire building machinery market.
Market Trends
