According to Future Market Insights, the global ultra-high performance (UHP) tire market is expected to be valued at USD 13.6 billion in 2023. From 2023 to 2033, UHP tire sales are projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%, reaching a market value of USD 39 billion.
This significant growth is driven by the rapid expansion of the automotive sector, fueled by increased demand for both commercial and passenger vehicles, a thriving transportation industry, rising disposable incomes, and enhanced automotive infrastructure in many countries. Additionally, the growing preference for electric vehicles, which are appreciated for their reduced noise and lower emissions, is anticipated to further increase the demand for high-performance tires in the coming years.
The aftermarket demand for high-performance tires is particularly influenced by the accelerated wear and tear of softer rubber tires that are designed for extremely high speeds. In racing championships, where high-performance tires are most commonly used, teams typically go through 9 to 14 sets of tires depending on factors such as track length, surface type (asphalt or concrete), and track category (short track, speedway, superspeedway, or road course). As a result, the aftermarket segment sees significantly higher demand for high-performance tires compared to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) segment.
