Tires & Inner Tubes

Tires & Inner Tubes (SIC 3011) covers manufacturers of passenger, truck, off-road, aviation, and specialty tires plus inner tubes, retreading services, and OEM supply, selling to automakers, fleet operators, dealers, and aftermarket retailers worldwide. Core offerings blend rubber compounding, steel-belt technology, tread design, and smart sensor integration that boosts safety, fuel efficiency, and predictive maintenance. The sector faces volatile natural rubber and petrochemical inputs, emissions and waste-disposal rules, recall liability, and tightening safety standards under NHTSA, EPA, and EU REACH, while import tariffs and ESG pressures shape sourcing. 2024–2025 trends include rising EV load-index requirements, demand for low-rolling-resistance and recycled-content compounds, RFID-enabled traceability, and reshoring or nearshoring to reduce supply-chain risk. Producers are also experimenting with bio-based feedstocks and circular retreading models to lower total cost of ownership for fleets.
