Tires – A Brief Overview
A tire is a rubberized component of a vehicle that encloses the rim of the wheel externally. The main purpose of a tire is to protect the wheel rim from wear and tear and provide tractive force between the road surface and the vehicle. As tires are generally made of rubber, they provide a flexible cushion that absorbs road imperfections and reduces vibrations. Rubber tires are made up of tread, jointless cap piles, beads, and other materials such as synthetic rubber, carbon black, and fabric.
China Tire Market Forecast and Trends
Growth Drivers
Increasing Automobile Production in China
China is the world's largest vehicle manufacturer, with over 21 million cars and 4.36 million commercial vehicles having been manufactured in 2019, according to the World Population Review. Further, based on data from Privacy Shield Framework, the Chinese government is also planning a 35-million-unit production expansion by 2025. The major “Big Four” domestic car manufacturers of China are also investing in expanding their production capacities, which is expected to boost tire demand in China in the coming years.
Technological Advancements and Launch of Smart Tires
The rapid technological advancements in tire technology are projected to offer favorable growth opportunities to the China tire market. Tire manufacturers in China are now innovating their products and introducing smart tires, which are laced with high-tech mechanisms, including IoT sensors. Smart tires use these sensors to generate crucial information about their surroundings, such as road temperature, tire pressure, and vehicle acceleration. The information can be used to determine the tire's condition and the safety of the drive. Such developments are expected to boost China tire market growth during the forecast period.
Restraints
High Penetration of Second-Hand and Counterfeit Tires
The increasing penetration of second-hand and counterfeit tires is emerging as a major restraining factor for the China tire market growth. Several reports have come up recently that tire suppliers are exporting used or counterfeit tires in the international market at lower costs. These tires not only cause loss of money but also put immense risk on the safety of the driver and passengers. The lack of stringent government regulations against these counterfeit tire sellers in China may restrict the tire market growth in the forecast period.
Impact of COVID-19 on China Tire Market
The unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak negatively impacted the growth of the China tire market. The COVID-19 virus, believed to have originated in China, halted most economic activity in the country, including tire and automobile manufacturing. Tire sales from both OEMs and for replacements were significantly reduced due to mobility restrictions, which resulted in huge losses for tire manufacturers. Furthermore, the demand for vehicles for private purposes also dropped significantly due to declining disposable income, which also negatively affected the market growth.
China Tire Market - By Design
Based on designs, the China tire market is segmented into radial and bias. The radial tire segment accounts for the largest market share and is also projected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period. This type of tire provides higher efficiency to vehicles, along with maximum comfort at higher vehicle speed. Additionally, radial tires are also extremely effective at reducing fuel consumption due to their low rolling resistance. Moreover, they require less maintenance due to their steel bodies, which proves to be economical for vehicle owners in the long run.
China Tire Market - By Vehicle Type
Based on vehicles, the China tire market is grouped into passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, medium and heavy commercial vehicles, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and off-the-road (OTR) segments. Among these, the passenger cars segment accounts for the largest market share. Xinhua news reports that there are 256 million passenger cars on Chinese roads as of September 2021, along with 237 million private cars and minivans. The increasing disposable income and purchasing power of Chinese citizens is significantly boosting the demand for passenger cars, propelling market growth.
China Tire Market - By Distribution Channel
Based on distribution channels, China tire market is segmented into online distributors and offline distributors. The offline distributors segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021. OEMs already have partnerships with tire manufacturers to acquire supplies as their trusted dealers, which is a major factor in the offline distribution segment. However, the online distributors segment is projected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The increasing launch of websites and expanding e-commerce platforms, such as Alibaba, are significantly fueling the growth of the online distribution channel.
