In 2024, approximately 88.3 million vehicles were produced globally, using an estimated 1.9 billion tires in the same year. However, traditional tire production methods, which are heavily reliant on petroleum-based materials and energy-intensive processes, face mounting pressure from sustainability demands, electric vehicle requirements for specialized low-rolling-resistance designs, and critical safety challenges, where crash rates increase by 71% during rain and 84% during snowfall. Additionally, the rise of electric vehicles emphasizes the need for quieter tires as road noise becomes more prominent in silent EVs.

These challenges are creating massive opportunities for companies that can spot the right trends early. Our upcoming trend report explores the key developments reshaping the tire industry, offering valuable insights to guide your R&D strategies and keep you ahead of shifting market demands.
