[195 Pages Report] The Tire Reinforcement Materials Market size was estimated at USD 14.17 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 14.88 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 5.23% to reach USD 20.26 billion by 2030.
Tire reinforcement materials, including beads and fabric cords, are increasingly adopted to offer high durability, tensile strength, stiffness, adhesion to rubber, and compression modulus. These materials are used depending on their construction, cost, chemical composition, and the number of plies in tires. Growth in the automotive industry, owing to the surge in sales of passenger and commercial vehicles, is increasing the adoption of tire reinforcement materials for manufacturing carcasses, belts, and bead wires. Moreover, the rise in the use of rayon and steel in the belts of cars by automobile manufacturers further benefits the market growth. However, volatile raw materials prices, such as rubber for tire manufacturing, impede the adoption of tire reinforcement materials. The emergence of super high tensile bead wires and stringent regulations provided by governing agencies across countries on the fuel economy of vehicles is expected to expand the growth of the tire reinforcement materials market.
Material: High preference for aramid for its reinforcing lightweight, fuel-efficient tire
Aramid is a high-performance synthetic fiber known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making it a popular choice for reinforcing lightweight, fuel-efficient tires. Its resistance to abrasion and heat makes it ideal for high-speed applications such as racing and high-performance vehicles. Nylon is another widely used polymer in tire reinforcements due to its excellent tensile strength and fatigue resistance at a relatively low cost. Polyester is preferred for passenger car radial (PCR) tires due to its affordability, superior fatigue resistance compared to nylon, and good cut growth resistance properties ideal for everyday driving conditions. Rayon offers excellent adhesion to rubber compounds, making it a desirable reinforcement material in high-performance tires requiring precise handling and superior traction. Steel is the dominant material for reinforcing heavy-duty truck tires due to its exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion, puncture, and impact. Steel cord reinforced tires provide excellent load-carrying capacity and heat dissipation properties critical for commercial vehicles operating under demanding conditions.
Tire Type: Adoption of radial tires due to its lower rolling resistance, increased fuel efficiency, longer wear life properties
Bias tires, also known as cross-ply tires, are constructed with layers of plies or cords arranged at an angle of approximately 30-45 degrees to the tire’s direction of travel. This design provides a strong, durable tire structure that can handle heavier loads and harsher driving conditions than radial tires. Radial tires have plies or cords arranged perpendicular to the direction of the tire of travel, with additional reinforcing belts made of steel or other materials placed underneath the tread. This construction results in better road contact and lateral stability than bias tires. Furthermore, radial tires exhibit lower rolling resistance, increased fuel efficiency, longer wear life, and superior ride comfort.
Type: Growing need for tire cord fabric as a essential reinforcement material used in manufacturing tires
Tire bead wire is crucial in reinforcing tires, providing essential rigidity and strength to the tire structure. The bead wire ensures that the tire remains securely attached to the rim and maintains its shape. The bead wires are used for their compatibility with various tire sizes and types and for ease of installation and recycling options. Tire cord fabric is another essential reinforcement material used in manufacturing tires. It provides structural strength to the carcass while contributing to increased load-carrying capacity and improved durability under various road conditions. The tire cord fabric is used for specific performance requirements, weight reduction concerns, or environmental considerations such as recyclability or use of sustainable materials.
Application: Increasing use of nylon due to its excellent heat-resistant properties and ability to withstand high-speed operations
Belt plies are layers of fabric or steel placed between the tread and carcass in radial tires. They help improve tire stability, resist punctures, and prevent damage caused by impacts or irregular wear. For passenger cars and light trucks, manufacturers often use polyester or rayon fibers due to their high tensile strength and flexibility. Cap plies are used as an additional layer over the belt plies in high-performance tires to enhance high-speed stability and heat resistance while reducing rolling resistance. Nylon is commonly used as a cap ply material because it has excellent heat-resistant properties and can withstand high-speed operations. Carcasses refer to the tire’s body plies, which consist primarily of fabric or steel reinforcements embedded in the rubber matrix. They provide structural support to the tire and help maintain its shape under varying loads and operating conditions. Polyester, rayon, nylon, and steel are common carcass reinforcement materials used by manufacturers.
