The global two-wheeler tires market is anticipated to reach USD 339.4 million units by 2033 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., driven by the rapid increase in motorcycle and scooter ownership across developing economies. Rising urbanization and growing middle-class populations have made two-wheelers an affordable and convenient means of personal transportation. Improved road infrastructure and expanding credit facilities are further supporting vehicle sales. Additionally, the surge in demand for personal mobility post-pandemic has strengthened two-wheeler sales globally. This rise in vehicle usage directly fuels the demand for both OEM and aftermarket tires.
Technological innovation in tire materials and design is another key growth driver for the market. Manufacturers are increasingly adopting advanced rubber compounds, radial constructions, and tubeless technologies to enhance tire durability and safety. The introduction of smart tire systems that monitor pressure, temperature, and wear has improved user convenience and performance reliability. Such innovations cater to consumers’ demand for better handling, fuel efficiency, and longer tire life. As a result, technology-driven product development remains at the core of market expansion.
The growing adoption of electric two-wheelers is creating new opportunities in the global two-wheeler tires market. Electric scooters and motorcycles require tires with higher load capacity and lower rolling resistance to maximize battery efficiency. Governments worldwide are promoting electric mobility through subsidies and emission regulations, accelerating tire innovation in this segment. Manufacturers are developing specialized tires designed to support the unique torque characteristics of electric vehicles. This transition toward sustainable mobility continues to redefine product portfolios and industry standards.
Expanding logistics and delivery services have emerged as a significant contributor to two-wheeler tire demand. The rise of e-commerce, food delivery, and courier services has led to an increase in the use of motorcycles for commercial applications. These vehicles require durable, high-performance tires that can withstand continuous usage under diverse road and weather conditions. As fleet operators focus on minimizing downtime, demand for long-lasting and reliable tires is intensifying. This trend is particularly strong in urban centers across Asia Pacific and Latin America.
Furthermore, the growing aftermarket segment is reinforcing the long-term stability of the global two-wheeler tires market. Regular tire wear and replacement cycles, coupled with improved access to online retail channels, are driving aftermarket sales. Consumers are increasingly opting for branded, premium-quality tires to ensure safety and performance. Tire manufacturers are also expanding their service networks and distribution channels to meet replacement demand efficiently.
