COVID-19 Pandemic Positively Impacted the Market Growth

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic impacted all economic sectors. The construction sector was paralyzed from mid-March to end of May 2020 due to protocols of physical distancing along with the delay and stoppage within the entire production chain. However, as Ecuador is an import-driven country, no significant impact of COVID-19 was witnessed in the OTR tire imports. The country registered a decline in OTR tire shipments during February, March, and April 2020. The dip in shipments during these three months was compensated by the massive increase in the shipments in the Q4, 2020.

Market Segmentation

Earthmoving Equipment to Hold Dominant Market Share

Based on the type of equipment, earthmoving equipment acquired around more than 70% market share in the Ecuador OTR tire market in 2020. This is due to the rising investments in the construction and mining activities where various mining projects are in the advanced exploration stage such as the Cascabel project, concessioned to Australia's SolGold, and the Llurimagua project. Thus, this is expected to augment the demand for OTR tire in the coming 5 years.

After a state of recession in 2016, the earthmoving equipment market recovered in 2017 via the injection of huge financial & infrastructure resources.The improvement in market on the back of the rising greenfield investment and surging private sector engagement was seen after 2017 and the same trend is expected to help in the growth of earthmoving equipment tire market in the forthcoming period as well, cites MarkNtel Advisors’ in their research report “Ecuador Off-The-Road (OTR) Vehicle Tire Market Analysis, 2021”. 

Radial Tires Attained Significant Market Share

The radial tires held more than 50% market share in the Ecuador OTR Tire market in 2020. Radial tires find their major application in the earthmoving equipment such as loaders, excavators, etc., as they are fuel-efficient and more durable as compared to bias tires. Hence, the major contribution of earthmoving equipment in the Ecuador OTR tire market has positively impacted the market share of radial tires as well.

Market Driver

Positive Mining Growth to Boost the Market

Mining is one of the essential areas with the most elevated development projection in Ecuador. The country aims to make the mining sector one of the crucial pillars of its economy and attract foreign investment by introducing various projects in the next decade. In 2016, the country had around 790 thousand hectares under concession to mining companies, and in 2018 it reached 3 million hectares.

Various foreign companies are investing in the country such as Anglo American, BHP, Grupo México, and Lumina Gold. The rising investments would generate an increased demand for OTR tires in the years to come.

Market Challenge

The replacement demand for the OTR tires is high from the earthmoving, material handling, and agricultural tires in the country, owing to the absence of OEMs. However, the abundant presence of retreading companies in the region is a critical aspect that attracts customers toward retreading, as OTR tires are expensive than retreading. Besides, the government is also promoting tire retreading to protect the environment & reduce costs in the acquisition of new tires which poses a challenge for the growth of Ecuador OTR tire market.
