The automotive tire aftermarket market in the MEA is expected to grow from US$ 9,354.72 million in 2021 to US$ 12,568.39 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2021 to 2028.
Governments of various countries are enforcing several stringent regulations for vehicles and vehicle manufacturers. As a result, tire manufacturers have adopted environment-friendly raw materials without compromising on lighter tires, which significantly reduces vehicle weight, thus, providing higher fuel efficiency and less consumption. Major players in the automotive tire aftermarket are constantly working on various technologies. For instance, in 2019, Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. and Kansai University developed a new technology to generate electric power from a tire's rotation. The tire uses the build-up of static electricity, also known as frictional charging, to produce power from tire rotation. In 2020, Goodyear developed a self-generating design to extend the life of tires, making them more adaptable to several conditions. The Goodyear recharge tire concept utilizes a tread that can be replenished using fluid-filled capsules. The tread compound is made of biological material and reinforced with fibers based on spider silk. Therefore, the growing demand for green tires will propel the growth of the automotive tire aftermarket.
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 MEA automotive tire aftermarket market, which is expected to grow at a decent CAGR during the forecast period.
