The tire recycling market size is expected to reach USD 9,511.02 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Tire Recycling Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Tire Types (Off-the-Road (OTR) Tires Recycling, On The Road Tires Recycling and Aircraft Tire Recycling), Recycling Methods, Application, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) - Market Forecast 2025-2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The demand for the tire recycling market is witnessing significant growth, driven by increasing environmental concerns, stricter regulations, and the growing need for sustainable waste management practices. Globally, millions of tires are discarded annually, creating environmental challenges due to their non-biodegradable nature and potential for pollution. Tire recycling provides an effective solution to mitigate these issues while also offering economic and environmental benefits.
Government regulations mandating proper tire disposal and recycling have played a crucial role in driving demand. Many countries have implemented extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs, encouraging manufacturers to recycle and reuse materials from end-of-life tires. Additionally, the growing awareness among consumers and industries about the environmental impact of tire waste has fueled the adoption of recycled products. According to the National Library of Medicine Report 2019, countries such as Italy, Belgium, Netherlands have implemented EPR systems for tires targeted for material and energy recovery. EPR for tires has proven effective in addressing key challenges in tire waste management. It has significantly reduced instances of fly-tipping and illegal stockpiling, which has enhanced resource efficiency by promoting higher recycling rates and advanced waste tire management practices along with the waste hierarchy.
Recycled tire materials, such as crumb rubber, reclaimed rubber, and steel, are finding increasing applications in industries such as construction, automotive, and sports. Crumb rubber is extensively used in asphalt for road construction, playground surfaces, and sports fields, offering enhanced durability and cost-efficiency. Furthermore, advancements in recycling technologies have improved the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of tire recycling processes, making them more accessible to businesses.
The tire recycling market is also supported by the global shift toward a circular economy, where waste is minimized and resources are reused. The demand for tire recycling is expected to grow as sustainability becomes a priority for governments, businesses, and consumers, creating opportunities for innovation and investment in this sector.
On-the-road tire recycling gained market share in 2024, driven by increased tire waste, technology advancements, rising demand for recycled rubber, regulations, and government incentives promoting sustainability.
