Supportive Norms for Foreign Investors to Drive the Tire Market in Kuwait

The Kuwait Tire Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6% in the forecast period of 2022-27, cites MarkNtel Advisors in their recent research report. The growth of the market is driven primarily by various ongoing & upcoming construction projects across the country due to the rising government focus on infrastructural developments across commercial, residential, & industrial sectors. As a result, the mounting requirements for construction equipment & heavy vehicles are promoting the growth of the tire industry in Kuwait. 

Moreover, with the growing vehicle fleet & rising awareness among people about the benefits of timely inspection, repairs, & replacement of tires, the demand for aftermarket tires is surging rapidly across Kuwait to ensure utmost safety. It, in turn, is instigating the leading players to boost their import & distribution capacities to cater to the burgeoning consumer requirements for tires. 

Besides, since the country lacks tire production facilities, the government is laying out favorable policies for attracting foreign investments and international tire brands to establish their manufacturing units and, in turn, contribute to the overall market expansion.

Moreover, since the country is highly import-driven, prominent players are making digital transformations and opting for online sales channels to provide their customers with an extensive range of tires of different brands & budgets and advanced features. It, in turn, projects significant expansion of the market through 2027, further states the research report, “Kuwait Tire Market Analysis, 2022.”
