Forklift Tires Market Analysis
The forklift tires market was valued at USD 2.1 billion in 2021, and it is expected to reach USD 3.15 billion in 2027, registering a CAGR of above 5% during the forecast period (2021 - 2027).
The COVID-19 pandemic has hindered the growth of the forklift tires industry as forklifts are widely used in various industries owing to their wide range of applications. However, the market is expected to grow steadily due to the rapid expansion of retail and e-commerce industries in developing economies such as India, Brazil, Singapore, and Mexico.
Further, the growing demand for non-marking tires to maintain hygiene in workplaces is one of the latest trends fueling the forklift tire market growth. In addition, the European Union has enacted regulations on tire manufacturers to control carbon emissions, fueling the demand for non-marking type forklift tires.
Moreover, the electric forklift segment is anticipated to expand at a high growth rate during the forecast period owing to their rising preference for material handling applications. Asia-Pacific leads the forklift tire market due to the presence of many forklifts in China, followed by Europe and North America.
Forklift Tires Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Forklift Tires Market according to our research experts:
Innovations to Drive the Polyurethane Forklift Tires Market
A plethora of innovations is bolstering the growth of the forklift tires market. Polyurethane forklift tires are gaining increased popularity due to their chemical-resistant attributes. However, profile irregularities caused due to flat spotting incidence are likely to impact the market growth. Companies in the forklift tires market are improving their machining capabilities to modify existing tooling according to different hub designs.
For instance, Stellan AB, a polyurethane, rubber, and nylon tire solution provider, has adopted flexibility in its manufacturing processes to accommodate different hub designs in polyurethane forklift tires. Hence, manufacturers are increasing efforts to become more agile in their production practices to avoid the incidence of flat spotting in polyurethane forklift tires.
Increased R&D activities are likely to boost the forklift tires market as innovations, and new manufacturing processes occupy positive demand in the market. Manufacturers are experimenting with producing a combination of solid and pneumatic tires. So, flexibility in manufacturing processes plays a key role in accommodating last-minute design changes in the forklift tires market.
Asia-Pacific Likely to Lead the Forklift Tires Market
The forklift tires market will likely be dominated by Asia-Pacific, followed by North America and Europe. The Asia-Pacific region is the most lucrative forklift tires market due to the rapid growth in the automotive industry in India, South Korea, Japan, and China. In addition, regional governments are implementing strict mandates for security and safety at the workplace, leading to the quick deployment of such trucks.
Due to the increased demand, China is expected to play a significant role in developing forklift tires. The growing demand for advanced forklift machinery is driving the forklift tires market globally. Thus, these factors will likely contribute to the market's growth in the Asia-Pacific during the forecast period.
In the years to come, the fastest rise in the adoption of forklift vehicles would be seen in North America and Europe because of the swift industrialization and popularity of non-marking solid tires. The electric forklift segment is also anticipated to expand at a high growth rate in the region during the forecast period owing to their rising preference for material handling applications.
Forklift Tires Industry Overview
The forklift tires market is moderately fragmented due to numerous major and local players. Moving forward, acquisitions and collaborations of large companies with different material handling and supply chain management companies are expected, focusing on product expansion and innovation. For instance:
In February 2020, KION Group, a German manufacturer of forklift trucks and warehouse equipment, selected Trelleborg Wheel Systems, a supplier of wheels and tires for agriculture machines, as its preferred supplier for non-marking tires in Europe.
Some key players in the forklift tires market are Camso, Continental AG, Trelleborg AB, The Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd, Hankook, and many more.
