South Africa Tire Market, By Vehicle Type (Passenger Car, Commercial Vehicle, OTR, Two Wheeler), By Radial vs Bias (Radial & Bias), By Demand Category (OEM & Replacement), By Region Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2025
South Africa tire market is projected to surpass $ 2.5 billion by 2025, on account of increasing vehicle sales and fleet size coupled with growing production and export of tires. Moreover, increasing penetration of Chinese and budget tires in South African tire market through tire importers are providing more options to the customers, which is expected to positively influence the market during forecast period. South Africa tire market can be segmented based on vehicle type, radial vs bias, demand category and region. Based on vehicle type, the country’s tire market can be segmented into passenger car, commercial vehicle, off the road vehicle and two-wheeler. Passenger cars tire segment was the largest segment in 2019 and the segment is expected to dominate during the forecast period on the back of large passenger car fleet coupled with growing production and sales of passenger cars.
Increasing consumer preference for high passenger and load carrying capacity, safe driving, better fuel efficiency is fueling the demand for SUVs and luxury cars in the country, which is resulting in higher demand for radial tires in the country. Based on radial vs bias, the market can be segmented into radial and bias tires, with radial tires segment accounting for the largest market share and expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period as well. Consumers prefer radial tires due to their advantages, such as flexible sidewalls and reduced fuel consumption due to less vibration and resistance. Based on demand category, the replacement tires segment grabbed the largest share in the country’s tire market due to expanding automobile fleet as well as higher replacement rate.
