Green Tires Global Market Report 2025

A green tire refers to a circular component of an automotive tire that is fully assembled, made from environmentally friendly rubber, but has not undergone the curing process or received tread patterns. In comparison to other types of tires, such as those made from semi-aromatic, styrene-butadiene rubbers, or polycyclic hydrocarbons, green tires are designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Green tires find application in various vehicle types, including passenger cars, light commercial vehicles (LCV), and heavy commercial vehicles (HCV). The passenger car segment encompasses green tires manufactured specifically for use in passenger vehicles. These tires are suitable for both on-road and off-road applications. Green tires come in different sizes, such as 10 inches, 10-20 inches, and 20-30 inches, catering to different vehicle requirements. They are distributed through aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) sales channels.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting strain on trade relations in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the Paper, Plastics, Rubber, Wood, and Textile sector by driving up the costs of essential imported inputs such as pulp, resin, synthetic rubber, lumber, and cotton, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. Packaging manufacturers, for instance, are facing higher prices for plastic films and corrugated materials, further squeezing margins in an already highly price-sensitive environment. Similarly, textile producers are grappling with increased costs for imported yarns and dyes, adding to the burden of rising labor expenses. In response, some companies are turning to recycled or biodegradable materials, while others are consolidating their supplier base to secure bulk discounts.

The green tires market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $112.19 billion in 2024 to $124.05 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to environmental awareness, government regulations, consumer demand for eco-friendly products, rise in disposable income, increased demand for mobility services.

The green tires market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $202.94 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of electric vehicles, emergence of autonomous vehicles, rising urbanization, economic growth. Major trends in the forecast period include smart tire technology, electrification-optimized tires, cross-industry collaborations, tire-as-a-service models.

The forecast of 13.1% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through elevated tariffs on silica, bio-based rubber compounds, and manufacturing machinery imported from Germany and China, slowing adoption of environmentally friendly tire technologies. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The surge in environmental awareness among consumers is a key driver for the green tire market. Countries like the USA, China, South Korea, and Japan have implemented tire standards, ratings, labeling, and correct pressure programs to enhance awareness. Consumers are increasingly choosing green tires over conventional ones due to their environmental benefits, including eco-friendliness, high durability, fuel efficiency, and reduced carbon emissions. In September 2023, The Roundup reported that 78% of consumers considered environmental sustainability important, with 55% willing to pay more for eco-friendly brands. Additionally, in 2021, 50% of global consumers reported adopting more eco-friendly practices in the preceding six months. The heightened environmental awareness related to the use of eco-friendly tires is expected to drive the growth of the green tire market.

The rising demand for electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the growth of the green tires market in the coming years. Electric vehicles (EVs) are automobiles that run on electricity stored in rechargeable batteries or other energy storage systems. Green tires are utilized in electric vehicles to enhance energy efficiency, increase driving range, reduce environmental impact, and fulfill the eco-friendly expectations of EV owners. For example, in March 2024, a report published by Greenmatch, a UK-based company, indicated that electric vehicles are experiencing rapid growth, with 25% of new passenger car registrations projected to be electric by 2024, surpassing 17 million units worldwide. As of 2023, there are over 10 million EVs on the road, with more than 6 million plug-in EVs sold annually. By 2025, EVs are expected to account for 46% of light-vehicle sales. Therefore, the rising demand for electric vehicles is propelling the growth of the green tires market.

Innovation in product development, exemplified by offerings such as the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3, contributes to meeting the rising demand for sustainable products in the green tire market. The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 is a high-performance winter tire crafted with various sustainable materials. It aims to provide excellent grip and handling in winter conditions while promoting fuel efficiency and minimizing environmental impact. Launched in January 2023 by Goodyear Corporation, this tire incorporates sustainable materials, including silica from rice husk ash and recycled polyester from plastic bottles. With features like snow protect technology, advanced wet grip technology, and 90% sustainable materials, the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 exemplifies the industry's commitment to innovative and eco-friendly tire solutions.

Major players in the green tire market are actively developing innovative products to meet the surging demand for electric vehicles (EVs), exemplified by offerings like FALKEN e.ZIEX. This new replacement tire, specifically designed for EVs, addresses key requirements such as low rolling resistance, extended wear life, and quiet performance. Launched in March 2023 by Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd., a Japan-based automobile company, the FALKEN e.ZIEX aims to enhance the range and efficiency of EVs. Its features include long wear life, crucial for EVs that are typically heavier than gasoline-powered vehicles, and low rolling resistance. The tire is designed to contribute to the overall performance and environmental benefits of electric vehicles, meeting the evolving needs of the market.

In June 2022, Hyundai Motor Group, an automotive manufacturer based in South Korea, entered into a partnership with Michelin for an undisclosed amount. This collaborative research will concentrate on creating eco-friendly tires, greatly enhancing the use of sustainable materials. Michelin is a manufacturer of green tires located in France.
