Agricultural Tires Market Analysis

The Agricultural Tires market is expected to grow from USD 8.61 billion in 2025 to USD 9.11 billion in 2026 and is forecast to reach USD 12.12 billion by 2031 at 5.86% CAGR over 2026-2031. The Agricultural Tires market is benefiting from sustained mechanization demand, rapid radialization, and the commercialization of IF/VF technologies that improve load capacity while reducing soil compaction. Growth momentum is further reinforced by farmers' steady shift toward precision farming, swelling replacement demand from aging tractor fleets, and a widening preference for Central Tire Inflation Systems that lower operating costs. Competitive intensity is mounting as incumbents and regional challengers upgrade product lines, invest in smart-tire platforms, and pursue vertical integration to mitigate raw-material price volatility. Supply-chain recalibration, particularly around natural rubber sources, remains an important theme shaping the Agricultural Tires market through 2030.

Global Agricultural Tires Market Trends and Insights



Rapid Mechanization & Fleet Renewal In Emerging Markets

Emerging economies are in the midst of pronounced fleet modernization. Argentina anticipates growth in tractor, harvesters, and sprayers sales during 2025, underpinned by policy-backed financing and local-content incentives that reduce import-cost exposure. Rising preference for 30-70 HP machines underscores opportunities for specialized mid-range tires, while >150 HP equipment accelerates the push toward VF specifications. Industry participants including Case IH are expanding Asian footprints, highlighting the magnetic pull of high-growth markets despite infrastructure bottlenecks such as limited rural internet. These dynamics collectively bolster the Agricultural Tires market outlook.

Shift From Bias To Radial / If-Vf Low-Compaction Tires

The cost-benefit rationale for radialization is compelling: IF designs allow one-fifth higher load at identical pressure, and VF designs expand the margin to two-fifth. Michelin's CEREXBIB 2 line for New Holland's CR11 combine, accommodating 19 ton loads with a wider footprint, illustrates manufacturers' commitment to soil preservation. Standards codified by the Tire & Rim Association have harmonized inflation protocols, accelerating global adoption. Expedited product launches from BKT, CEAT, and Yokohama further diversify VF offerings across both OEM and replacement channels. As more farms prioritize fuel efficiency and soil health, the Agricultural Tires market is witnessing rapid technology diffusion from bias to advanced radial products.

Fluctuating Agricultural Commodity Prices

Commodity price cycles shape farmers' capital-spending capacity. Brazil's agricultural machinery sales fell slightly in 2024 to close to half a lakh units amid a uptick Selic rate that inflated borrowing costs. Argentina's equipment registrations showed early-2025 month-on-month declines despite annual improvements, underlining persistent caution. When cash flows tighten, OEM demand softens and factory scheduling becomes erratic, challenging tire suppliers. Conversely, replacement needs remain steadier, cushioning revenue dips. This dichotomy reinforces why the aftermarket anchors baseline demand across the Agricultural Tires market.

Segment Analysis

The Agricultural Tires market size attributed to the aftermarket accounts for 70.74% of market share in 2025. Farmers' strong inclination to extend equipment lifespan, particularly during high interest-rate periods, reinforces this dominance. OEM channels are on a 5.91% CAGR path through 2031, buoyed by Ukraine reconstruction and policy-supported fleet renewal in Latin America.

Bridgestone's August 2024 U.S. introduction of VX-TRACTOR, VT-TRACTOR, and VX-R TRACTOR portfolios illustrates the pursuit of premiumization, promising longer wear life and 40% higher load capacity. Parallel OEM momentum stems from Trelleborg's agreement with John Deere, granting access to more than 300 Brazilian dealerships and positioning CTIS-ready tires for new tractor deliveries. The interplay between defensive aftermarket strength and revitalized OEM orders underscores balanced growth drivers across the Agricultural Tires market.

Tractors generated 56.12% of the Agricultural Tires market in 2025, cementing their centrality in daily farm tasks. Sprayers, although representing a smaller base, are forecast for 5.95% CAGR through 2031, sharpening demand for narrow-section VF tires compatible with high-clearance machinery. Combine harvesters and trailers capture residual shares yet set distinct performance benchmarks that shape tread design and carcass rigidity.

Apollo's Vredestein Traxion CropCare series grants 30% higher lateral stability for sprayers, reflecting an engineering push tailored to crop-protection equipment. Michelin's VF 900/65R46 CFO tire, boasting a 2.32 m diameter and 19 ton load rating for New Holland's CR11 harvester, mirrors a trend toward oversized, heavy-duty solutions. These innovations broaden performance envelopes and enlarge the value proposition of the Agricultural Tires market.

Geography Analysis

Asia-Pacific held 37.41% of Agricultural Tires market share in 2025, propelled by China and India, which together delivered more than two-fifth of global equipment growth. Many provincial subsidies address labor scarcity by encouraging VF-equipped tractors that protect increasingly valuable arable land. Japan's radial-tire uptake underscores the region's technological maturity, supported by advanced R-&-D clusters and stringent sustainability standards.

South America is projected as the fastest-growing region with 6.09% CAGR between 2026 and 2031. Following a contraction in Brazil's machinery sales during 2024, policy steps such as Moderfrota coupled with Argentina's domestic manufacturing content are revitalizing demand. Strategic collaborations, exemplified by Trelleborg's tie-up with John Deere's extensive dealership grid, channel advanced low-compaction tires to small and mid-sized growers.

Europe and North America exhibit high replacement ratios. EU machinery regulations effective January 2027 will elevate compliance thresholds for digital readiness and safety, favoring CTIS and sensor-equipped tires. Ukraine reconstruction plans could spark an OEM spike as farming equipment stocks are replenished. Middle East and Africa remain under-mechanized yet display gradual uptake, notably in irrigation-dependent cereals where radial flotation tires provide clear agronomic benefits. Overall, regional heterogeneity accentuates multiple demand pockets, solidifying the growth arc of the Agricultural Tires market through 2031.
