The OE and aftermarket segment includes construction & mining, agriculture tractors, industrial equipment, and other equipment such as balers, self-propelled sprayers, and harvesters. The global off the road tires market is expected to reach 2,040.0 thousand tons in 2033 from 1,494.0 thousand tons in 2026 to a CAGR of 4.5%.

The European Union continued to strengthen its critical mineral strategy during 2025-2026 by accelerating the implementation of the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) and identifying multiple strategic mining, refining, and recycling projects across member states to reduce reliance on imported raw materials. The Act targets 10% domestic extraction, 40% processing, and 25% recycling of the EU's annual strategic raw material demand by 2030, driving investments in mining operations and increasing the deployment of haul trucks, wheel loaders, and excavators that require large OTR tires. In North America, infrastructure development under the USD 1.2 trillion US Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and continued investments in critical mineral mining are sustaining high utilization of construction and mining equipment, thereby supporting both OEM and replacement OTR tire demand. Meanwhile, tightening environmental regulations, including EU Stage V and US EPA Tier 4 Final Emission standards, are accelerating fleet modernization, prompting contractors and mining companies to replace older equipment with more fuel-efficient and technologically advanced machines. The growing adoption of electric and hybrid off-highway equipment, together with continued investments in mining and infrastructure, is expected to strengthen demand for premium OTR tires across both OEM and aftermarket channels during the forecast period.
Solid tires are the second fastest-growing segment of the construction equipment market.
Solid OTR tires are witnessing increasing adoption across industrial and construction applications, particularly in skid-steer loaders, rough-terrain telescopic handlers (RTLTs), compact wheel loaders, forklifts, and tow tractors, where puncture resistance and minimal maintenance are critical. Manufactured from solid rubber compounds, these tires eliminate the risk of air loss, provide enhanced durability, and enable continuous operation in harsh working environments, thereby reducing equipment downtime and lifecycle maintenance costs. Asia Pacific, which accounts for over 50% of global forklift sales, remains the largest market due to rapid industrialization, infrastructure development, and mining activities, while North America and Europe continue to witness steady adoption driven by increasing investments in warehousing and automation. Forklifts typically use solid tires ranging from 7.50-20 to 10.00-20 inches, whereas tow tractors commonly utilize 16-20.5-inch tire sizes for heavy-duty material handling. The rapid expansion of logistics facilities is further supporting demand. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment in transportation and warehousing exceeded 6.8 million workers in 2025, reflecting sustained demand for forklifts, tow tractors, and other industrial vehicles that predominantly utilize solid tires.
Forklifts hold the largest share of the global industrial equipment off the road tires market.
The rapid expansion of logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, and e-commerce is driving global demand for forklifts, thereby increasing the consumption of industrial OTR tires, including solid, cushion, and pneumatic bias tires. According to the Industrial Truck Association (ITA), the US industrial truck industry contributed approximately USD 36.6 billion to the country's GDP in 2025, highlighting the growing importance of material-handling equipment in supporting industrial and distribution activities. This trend is further reflected in KION Group's FY2025 results, which reported an order intake of USD 13.2 billion and approximately 266,000 new industrial truck orders in 2025, representing an 8.6% year-over-year increase. Among forklift tire types, solid tires remain the preferred choice for indoor and heavy-duty industrial applications due to their puncture-proof construction, high load-bearing capacity, long service life, and minimal maintenance requirements, while cushion and pneumatic bias tires are widely used for smooth indoor surfaces and outdoor yard operations, respectively.
Asia Pacific is the fastest growing and largest market for off the road tires globally.
Asia Pacific accounts for the largest share of the off the road tires market, supported by large-scale infrastructure development, mining expansion, and agricultural mechanization across China, India, Japan, Australia, and Indonesia. The region accounts for the largest share of agricultural and construction equipment sales, with 31-70 HP tractors representing over 80% of tractor demand. According to The Indian Construction Equipment Manufacturers' Association (ICEMA), India sold 53,133 backhoe loaders in FY2025, accounting for approximately 54% of the country's earthmoving equipment sales. In Australia, iron ore production exceeded 950 million metric tons in 2025, while Indonesia continued to lead global nickel production, driving the deployment of haul trucks, excavators, and wheel loaders that require premium OTR tires. From a tire perspective, bias tires account for more than 55% of OTR tire demand in Asia Pacific, particularly in 31-70 HP tractors, backhoe loaders, and compact construction equipment, owing to their lower cost and durability, whereas radial tires are increasingly adopted in wheel loaders, high-horsepower tractors, and mining haul trucks to improve productivity and fuel efficiency. Agricultural tractors typically use 16-24-inch front rims and 24-38-inch rear rims, backhoe loaders are commonly equipped with 18-20-inch front rims and 28-inch rear rims; and wheel loaders generally utilize 25-29-inch rims, reinforcing Asia Pacific's position as the largest OEM and replacement market for OTR tires.
