Report

Canada Tire Market is predicted to grow in the coming years due to increasing logistic and travel activities in the country.
Canada Tire Market Overview
The wheels of a moving vehicle provide a gripping surface for traction. The majority of automobile tires are pneumatic, which means that air is compressed inside the tire. Furthermore, tires help with steering, braking, and turning, which enhances overall driving performance. So, in order to maximize performance and ensure the smooth operation of the vehicle, the customer needs to choose the appropriate tire. The components of a rubber tire are tread, jointless cap heaps, beads, and other materials such as synthetic rubber, carbon black, and fabric. Due to the rise in demand for vehicle production to meet the surge in demand for automobiles across all segments, the need for tires is increasing exponentially. The Canada Tire Market is growing rapidly due to the expansion of the Canadian automobile industry and increased demand for winter tires. Also, it is anticipated that as the fleet size of vehicle increases, the demand for tires will increase in coming years.
Canada Tire Market Driver
Growth in Commercial Vehicle
In Canada, due to severe lockdown and raw material delays, total car production declined by approximately 18% in 2021, compared to 2020. On the contrary, vehicle sales as a whole rose 7.46% in 2021, despite a decline in vehicle manufacturing. More than 80% of all new vehicle sales in Canada are commercial vehicles, which helps to expand the country's tires industry. Moreover, a rise in Final Mile activities has increased sales of medium and large vehicles, significantly expanding the Canadian tires industry. Additionally, as part of its goal to have a fully sustainable and net-zero economy by 2050, the Canadian government also unveiled its 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan in March 2022, which will further boost the sales of electric vehicles. Canada has stipulated that all new light-duty car and passenger truck sales be zero-emission by 2035. Many prominent players are increasing their production capacity as demand is growing at a considerable rate. Moreover, this results in increasing demand for Canada tire market in upcoming years.
Canada Tire Market Challenge
Delay in Supply Chain
Over the last years, vehicles sales began to slow down due to variety of reasons including Poor Downstream Visibility, Raw Material Shortages and Quality Control Issues, etc. On average, a vehicle consists of roughly 30,000 components, among which the tires are one of the major parts that are designed to bring supply chains together for consistent production. The procurement process may suffer as a result of disregarding any component in the manufacturing process, such as inventory shortages and prolonged delays. Also, it is essential to ensure that there aren't any errors made throughout the assembling process when producing automobiles. A lack of control and auditing can lead to quality issues, which can result in recalls, revenue loss, and material waste, resulting in the delay in deliveries to manufacturing companies. Additionally, during COVID pandemic, due to the shortage of parts, particularly microchip shortages, a lot of automotive manufacturers delayed their vehicle assembly, resulting in slower growth in tire market.
Canada Tire Market Trend
Advancement in Tire Technology
With rapid development across automobile industries, the demand for sustainable tire and smart tire increases drastically. Over the years, many manufacturing companies invested in their research and development of tire industry to keep up with the rising demand. For example, Michelin is planning to achieve the goal of a 100% sustainable tire by 2050, with their airless technology in tires. Currently, 20% of tires are discarded early due to blowouts and flats (12%) or abnormal wear and tear brought on by low tire pressure (8%). Michelin estimates that UPTIS airless technology could avoid up to 200 million tires from being prematurely discarded globally each year. Also, with development in composite material technology, Goodyear achieved 70% sustainable tire in 2022. This results in adoption of new technology tires and boosting Canada tire market in coming years.
Recent Development
Bridgestone Weather grip tire from Firestone is created by combining the company's Hydro-Grip tread technology with full-depth grooves, which aid in smooth cutting through water and resisting hydroplaning.
Another significant technological innovation in tire manufacturing is Bridgestone's run-flat tire technology. This technology permits driving at 50 mph in the event of air loss, owing to a damaged or perforated surface. The driver can travel over 50 miles with a puncture, giving them enough time to fixed.
Goodyear Weather ready tires perform well regardless of the weather on the roads. With the development of outboard tread ribs and center 3D Tredlock Technology Blades, Goodyear's Weather Reactive Technology ensures cornering and braking in slick conditions.
Due to the increase in demand in both the OEM and aftermarket segments, Bridgestone is projected to increase its manufacturing capacity by over 10% in 2023.
Market Opportunities
Rising commercial activities in many regions in Canada tend to boost the sales of commercial vehicles. In addition to rising sales factor, development of smart and sustainable tires also aids in further boosting the market in coming years. The expansion of rapid transport services provided the manufacturers with more opportunities to diversify their product offerings. Furthermore, the region could benefit from the global transition to electric vehicles, which would improve advanced tire industry popularity among Canada region. Because of the aforementioned factors, there are many opportunities for manufactures and suppliers to build distribution network across country to keep up with rising demand in upcoming years.
