Tire Retreading Global Market Report 2026

Tire retreading is a re-manufacturing process that involves adding fresh tread to used tires, effectively extending their lifespan. This practice is employed to provide fleet owners and other vehicle operators with a cost-effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly solution for managing tire replacement expenses and reducing their ecological footprint.

The primary methods of tire retreading include pre-cure and mold cure. In pre-cure tire retreading, the process utilizes rubber that has already undergone vulcanization and carries the imprint of the new tread pattern. These methods find applications across various vehicle types such as heavy trucks and buses, light commercial vehicles, off-road vehicles, and passenger cars. Additionally, they cater to diverse end-users, including automobiles and heavy machinery.

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.

Tariffs are influencing the tire retreading market by increasing costs of imported tread rubber, bonding chemicals, curing equipment, and retreading machinery components. Fleet operators and retreaders in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported materials, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on retreading equipment manufacturing. These tariffs are increasing retreading service costs and impacting pricing competitiveness. However, they are also encouraging localized retreading operations, domestic material sourcing, and investments in efficient retreading technologies.

The tire retreading market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $7.94 billion in 2025 to $8.19 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of commercial trucking operations, rising replacement tire costs, growing acceptance of retreaded tires, availability of retreading infrastructure, increasing focus on fleet cost optimization.

The tire retreading market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.3 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing emphasis on circular economy practices, rising fuel and raw material costs, expansion of sustainable fleet management strategies, growing demand for extended tire life solutions, increasing regulatory support for retreading practices. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of retreaded tires in fleets, rising focus on cost-efficient tire lifecycle management, growing demand for high-quality retreading processes, expansion of retreading for heavy commercial vehicles, enhanced emphasis on environmental benefits.

The anticipated growth in the tire retreading market is expected to be fueled by the increasing number of transport and passenger vehicles. Transport vehicles, designed for moving goods or people, and passenger vehicles, which carry no more than 10 individuals, witness a rising demand for retread tires. This cost-effective option not only reduces expenses for passenger car owners but also contributes to waste reduction and the conservation of natural resources. For example, a report by MarkLines Co. Ltd. in September 2023 revealed a 12.7% increase in passenger car sales in August, reaching a total of 280,223 units and a market share of 20.9% in the U.S. The growing fleet of transport and passenger vehicles is thus propelling the tire retreading market.

Major companies in the tire retreading market are introducing new products, such as multi-life tires, to enhance grip and durability. Multi-life tires are retreaded tires designed for multiple uses, promoting sustainability by reducing waste and resource consumption while maintaining performance and safety. For example, in April 2023, Black Star, a US-based retread tire company, launched the Leonard retreaded tire. This innovative tire is designed as a multi-life product, enabling it to be used across several lifecycles, significantly reducing its environmental impact. It boasts the lowest carbon footprint in the industry, with a remarkable 80% reduction in material usage and up to 60% lower CO2 emissions during production. The Leonard tire provides superior grip, enhanced durability, and improved safety, all while offering low rolling resistance for better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. It is available in various profiles suitable for passenger cars, SUVs, and commercial vehicles, addressing a wide range of driving conditions.

In June 2023, McCarthy Tire Service Co. Inc., a US-based commercial tire manufacturing and service provider, acquired Roli Retreads Inc. for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, McCarthy Tire Service sought to broaden its commercial tire and retreading presence while enhancing retread production capabilities in the New York regional market. Roli Retreads Inc. is a US-based tire retreading firm that focuses on delivering commercial tire retreading services through its manufacturing facility located in Farmingdale, New York.
