The Future of Off-The-Road Tires to 2031

Get ahead of the shifts reshaping the global OTR tire market. This report gives you the data and forecasts to spot growth opportunities by end use and region, and to understand how emerging tire technologies will change design priorities through 2031. 

  • The global OTR tire market is projected at $35.5 billion in 2026.
  • Market value is expected to grow at 4.9% per year.
  • The value of the global OTR tire market will reach $45.2 billion in 2031.

This report examines global market performance and opportunities for OTR tires by end use – mining/construction (including ports and handling), agriculture (including forestry) and the industrial sector – and by geographic region. It maps out the global landscape, in which OTR tire demand is being shaped by higher production costs, longer lead times, and more volatile regional demand. However, the fundamentals supporting most OTR growth opportunities remain intact.

The report also examines global OTR tire growth, with a focus on technology advances, end-use growth, infrastructure spending, the energy transition, agriculture support programs and mechanization. Readers will learn how the industry is well-positioned to navigate the period ahead, with top-tier global and regional players such as Bridgestone, Michelin, Yokohama and Continental, as well as BKT (India) and other Asian companies well-positioned regionally. The report also details trends toward consolidation, particularly at the regional level, as markets adjust to greater uncertainty in international trade and geopolitical stability.
