The Middle East tire market growth is primarily driven by the rapid rise in vehicle ownership fueled by urbanization and rising middle-class incomes. For example, in one key market, over 318,000 vehicle registrations were recorded recently, marking a near 16% increase from the prior year. This surge in vehicle ownership spans passenger cars, two-wheelers, and commercial vehicles, supporting strong demand for both OEM and replacement tires. Governments are also actively expanding EV infrastructure with plans for over 1,000 charging stations to accommodate growing electric vehicle adoption, which further encourages market expansion.

Government infrastructure investments form a critical growth pillar, with large-scale projects expanding highways, logistics hubs, and intercity networks across the region. For instance, a $17 billion road development initiative in Iraq aims to enhance trade routes, driving up demand for commercial vehicle tires. Saudi Arabia’s investment in the Middle East’s largest tire plant with a capacity scaling from 7.5 to 15 million tires will localize supply and boost industrial output, while also creating thousands of jobs. 

Key Market Trends & Insights:

Emerging trends in the Middle East tire market reflect innovation, sustainability, and evolving consumer behavior. The first trend is the growing availability of tires through online channels, enhancing market reach and convenience. For example, Al Masaood Tyres launched an e-commerce portal allowing customers to buy tires and book services from home, creating a seamless user experience.

The second trend is the rising adoption of vehicles for diverse purposes, including personal commuting and logistics. South Korea's Kumho Tire entered a technology licensing agreement with Saudi Arabia's Blatco to produce quality passenger vehicle tires catering to increased vehicle demands in the region, especially in Saudi Arabia, the largest automobile consumer.

Environmental sustainability is the third emerging trend, with governments initiating tire waste management programs. Qatar declared the complete disposal of damaged tires stock through safe recycling and treatment processes. Additionally, a joint venture between Pirelli Tyre SpA and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund highlights efforts to produce eco-friendly tires locally while reducing carbon footprints.

The fourth trend is the increasing preference for radial tires due to their longer lifecycle, better fuel efficiency, and improved ride comfort. Radial tires’ ability to withstand high physical stress and lower rolling resistance is boosting demand among Middle East consumers seeking enhanced performance and durability in tires.

Finally, the rise of online sales channels complements the traditional offline distribution, offering wider product choices and home delivery, accompanied by discounts and personalized services. This hybrid distribution approach caters to consumers' evolving shopping preferences while expanding market accessibility across the Middle East.
