Key Players
The demand for luxury sedans, SUVs, and performance-oriented vehicles continues to grow, there is also an increase in demand from OEMs for premium tires designed for high speed, best-in-class grip, and improved ride comfort. Automakers have also moved to include premium tires as one of the performance characteristics of their products, thus creating a consistent baseline demand for premium tires and a base for creating higher-value tire supply contracts.For instance, Bridgestone and Toyota are working together to create high-performance tires specifically designed for Toyota's luxury/performance product line, indicating that OEMs are putting greater emphasis on premium products for luxury/performance vehicles.
Customers are increasingly becoming more attentive to braking performance, wet traction, noise reduction, and stability while driving at high speeds. Premium tires can meet the needs of these customers better than traditional tires because of their unique tread designs and specially engineered rubber compounds, which increases the likelihood that customers will replace their original equipment tires with premium tires and pay a higher price for them.
In North American and European markets, there is an increasing number of older vehicles, and this older vehicle population results in a continuing cycle of replacement tire purchases. More customers purchasing premium vehicles are replacing the original equipment tires with either equivalent or higher-grade premium tires, thus contributing to an increase in aftermarket revenue growth and creation of a stable demand for high-performance tire products.
Premium tires help reinforce the automaker's brand position, driving experience, and perceived vehicle quality, automakers are working closely with tire manufacturers to create tires that are uniquely tuned to the specific vehicle being manufactured; this results in long-term partnerships between automakers and tire manufacturers, increasing the penetration rate of premium tires in the luxury and high-performance vehicle segments.
Automotive Premium Tires Market Trends
Manufacturers utilize silica-based compounds, hybrid polymers, and strengthened sidewalls, to achieve a balance of grip, durability, and fuel efficiency. By using these advancements, high-end tire brands can create a diverse range of products with improved performance in wet and dry conditions and longer-lasting tire life. In turn, this gives high-end brands leverage to charge more for their products in original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and aftermarket environments.
The trend with larger wheels, particularly on luxury SUV's and performance-oriented vehicles, has led to an increase in the number of customers looking to purchase low-profile premium tires. Low-profile premium tires provide enhanced aesthetics, provide improved handling, and improved cornering stability; however, they require more advanced engineering, which equates to higher value per unit and a higher cost to replace. As a result, the increase in demand for low-profile premium tires also supports revenue growth for high-end brands.
Foam inserts, optimized tread designs and vibration-dampening elements are becoming increasingly common in premium tires to provide quieter rides. These features reflect the preference of luxury vehicle purchasers for cabin comfort, particularly in premium sedans and SUVs, allowing premium tire manufacturers to strengthen the positioning of their products in both OEM and replacement markets.
Tires designed for Electric Vehicles (EVs) need to support lower rolling resistance, have a higher load capacity, and provide enhanced noise control because EVs carry heavier batteries and operate on quiet powertrains. As such, premium tire manufacturers have begun to create dedicated products for EV applications, providing a new opportunity for growth, and reaffirming the role of premium tires in next-generation mobility.
Goodyear has launched a new electric tire (The Electric Drive 2) designed for use on electric passenger vehicles (like the Tesla Model 3 and Ford Mustang Mach E) in 2024. This tire features a low rolling resistance and identifies EV-specific dynamics to provide further benefits in lowering both sound and heat emissions.
