Material Handling Tires Market Report

Market Insights

Material handling equipment are widely used in a range of industries, such as automotive, warehouses, recycling operations, and dockyards. They are used to ensure that items are moved, stored, and controlled in a factory, warehouse, or other facilities as smoothly as possible. Material handling tires are used in material handling vehicles. Material handling tires have better surface qualities and bear pressure that restrict excessive surface deformation.

Increased average vehicle life, growing concern for maintenance and safety, and increased annual distance traveled by material handling vehicles are some of the major factors driving the material handling tires market. Forklifts, reach stackers, loaders, trailers, and telehandlers are the most common applications. In 2020, the market for material handling tires witnessed a decline of -1.2% due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, this is a short-term fiasco, and the market is expected to recover in the coming years. Once the recovery begins, major players will regain ground by expanding production and increasing capacity utilization. The rapid expansion of the retail and e-commerce industries is creating a high demand for material handling vehicles, which, in turn, is likely to increase the demand for tires for those vehicles. The material handling tires market is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 5.5% in the long run, to reach a value of US$ 9.2 Billion in 2027.

Segments' Analysis

Based on the application type, the material handling tires market is segmented as forklift, reach stackers and container handlers & top loader, and others. Forklift is expected to remain the biggest demand generator for tires among all material handling vehicle types during the forecast period. Forklifts are one of the most commonly used material handling equipment in several industries and tires are a vital part as they have to bear the load of the object being moved.

Based on the tire type, the market is segmented into radial tires and bias tires. Radial tires are expected to be the faster-growing tire type in the market during the forecast period. The significant growth of radial tires can be attributed to the benefits it offers, such as higher durability, increased safety, and reduced vibration. The flourishing material handling market is expected to drive the demand for these tires even more in the coming years.

Based on the end-user type, the market is segmented as OE and aftermarket. Aftermarket is expected to be the dominant end-user type in the market during the forecast period. Tires exposed to heavy loads, cause high wear and tear, which necessitates the replacement of tires regularly. The aftermarket segment is likely to account for a significant portion of the global material handling tires market during the forecast period.

In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market for material handling tires during the forecast period. The region's high level of exports has boosted the goods transportation industry, resulting in a significant increase in demand for material handling equipment. China, India, Japan, South Korea, and other Asian countries have established themselves as global industrial hubs, consequentially generating demand for material handling equipment in the region. As a result, Asia-Pacific has emerged as the leading material handling equipment tire producer.
