The automotive tire aftermarket market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow from US$ 38,093.45 million in 2021 to US$ 63,097.15 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2021 to 2028.
China, India, South Korea, Japan, and Australia are among the key economies in APAC. The rising engagement of original equipment suppliers in aftermarket activities and the consolidation of parts distributors indicate that this company has a bright future. Because of the expanding middle-class population and increased buying power, vehicle sales are rising, presenting opportunities for aftermarket parts manufacturers and supply chain suppliers due to aging vehicle fleets and the increased need for replacement components. The growing production and use of automobiles in India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Southeast Asia will help boost demand. Various accessories, lubricants, tires, and other component replacement providers make up the aftermarket replacement part vendors. In addition, service enablers, such as repairing services providers and entertainment service providers, are part of the industrial value chain. The APAC automotive sector is seeing a surge in demand for hybrid electric vehicles, which will decrease the demand for exhaust components and specialist equipment for these specialty vehicles. For many reasons, electric vehicles require specific tires. According to the vehicle manufacturer, its tire must have greater weight than internal combustion cars and transmit more torque to the road when driving after a halt. Tire noise is more noticeable in electric cars than in internal combustion vehicles because of their near-silent powertrains, mainly hidden by engine noise. The introduction of electric vehicles and their significantly lower propulsion noise emission allow assessing tire-road noise with higher accuracy via cruise-by measurements, even at speeds where a combustion engine propulsion system would usually disturb the measurement results. The rolling resistance rating provided by the European Union tire label has been used as the primary selection criterion for potential tires for EVs. The second selection criterion represented the tire label rating for wet grip, whereas a lower rating implies a shorter braking distance. For instance, Pirelli, an Italian tire manufacturer, announced a new high load (HL) index tire that will debut on the upcoming Lucid Air sedan. This HL tire was designed specifically for electric cars and SUVs to support the heavier weight of batteries while maintaining a low rolling resistance. This will provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the automotive tire aftermarket during the forecast period.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the APAC automotive tire aftermarket market, which is expected to grow at a decent CAGR during the forecast period.
