Middle East and Africa Agricultural Tires Market
The Middle East and Africa Agricultural Tires Market is poised for growth, supported by rising agricultural activities and the modernization of farming techniques. With an increasing focus on food security and sustainable agriculture, farmers are seeking reliable tire solutions that can withstand harsh conditions. The market is experiencing innovations in tire design and materials, aimed at enhancing durability and performance, making it crucial for agricultural productivity in the region.
Agricultural tires are specialty tires that are used for agricultural machinery like tractors, harvesters, trailers, and so on. These tires improve farming vehicles' fuel economy, performance, and driver comfort.
Agriculture tires, as the name suggests, are intended for use on a farm or in agriculture. The diagonal thread on these tires is angled at 45 degrees. The traction provided by the treads allows the tractor to move quickly through mud and soil. These come in various sizes and diameters and are suitable for a wide range of equipment, including tractors, trailers, combine harvesters, sprayers, and skid steer loaders. These are made of high-quality rubber for long life and better performance on and off the field. They have large ribs and voids for traction in soft terrain. These tires improve fuel efficiency and hillside stability. Some tires have a diamond tread design for minimal soil disruption.
One of the primary reasons for the increased need for mechanization in the agricultural sector is the rising food demand. Tires play a vital role in the performance of agricultural machines, and hence the demand for agrarian ties is increasing. Tires, on the other hand, are harmful to the environment because they are not biodegradable. They contribute to landfill waste, despite the fact that the Environmental Protection Agency classifies them as municipal solid waste rather than hazardous waste (EPA). Tires emit toxins, and the oils they contain can contaminate soil and groundwater. Furthermore, solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOC) are used to produce heavy and treads for enhancing the adhesion of the tires, with the process emitting the greatest number of emissions into the atmosphere. The hazardous nature of agricultural tires may restrict the market growth in the near future.
Market Research Future (MRFR) projects the global Agricultural Tires Market to register a significant CAGR of 5% from 2020 to 2026 (forecast period).
Tractors were previously used for simple tasks such as plowing and tilling. Tractors now perform a variety of tasks such as irrigation, harvesting, and fertilizer spreader, necessitating the use of more specialized tires with larger rim sizes, which are more expensive. Until 2009, the largest agriculture tire had a circumference of 243 inches; however, tire manufacturers are now offering sizes up to 256 inches. The overall increase in tire size has fueled the tire price and, as a result, is boosting the market in terms of revenue.
The agricultural tire market is changing dramatically as a result of digital innovations. For example, in December 2019, Continental AG, a leading German multinational automotive parts manufacturing company, announced the introduction of Agriculture TireTech, an innovative agriculture app that serves as a pressure and load calculator to achieve optimal safety and efficiency when using Continental agricultural tires. Companies in the agriculture tire market hope to expand their portfolio of comprehensive digital services and solutions for their customers by using mobile apps.
