In 2021 and 2023, demand for OTR tires witnessed a decline across key industries due to a combination of economic weaknesses, stringent austerity measures, and socio-political turmoil that adversely affected operations and investments in vital sectors. Businesses, under economic pressure, prioritized the conservation of resources. This led to a trend of extending the lifespan of existing machinery and tires over making new investments, which negatively influenced the demand for OTR tires. However, the demand recovered in 2024.
Additionally, Ecuador's port infrastructure has seen significant and strategic growth over the years, driven by the recognition of the country's geographical advantage and the need to enhance its economic competitiveness through improved maritime logistics and connectivity. Several ports have undergone expansion & modernization projects to increase their capacity and efficiency. For instance, in 2023, the Ecuadorian Ministry of Transportation and Public Works announced the completion of the Pier 6 construction at Puerto Bolívar. This strategic enhancement of Ecuador's port facilities would directly lead to an increased demand for OTR (Off-The-Road) tires for the operational requirements of the ports.

Ecuador Off-the-Road Tire Market Driver:
Amplifying Transport Infrastructure Development to Generate High Demand for OTR Tires – The government's commitment to enhancing connectivity & promoting economic growth through extensive investment in transportation networks has enhanced construction activities across the country. The Ecuadorian government has been increasingly focusing on construction activities in the transportation sector by providing substantial funds & seeking international financing from banking organizations. The construction activities included expanding & modernizing roads, highways, bridges, and airports to facilitate the efficient movement of goods & individuals across the country.
For instance, in 2022, the National Government launched various road infrastructure projects such as Loja-Catamayo, Manta-Quevedo, Montecristi-La Cadena, etc. Furthermore, strategic initiatives like the National Road Plan 2025 prioritized key infrastructure projects to improve connectivity between urban centers, agricultural areas, industrial zones, and tourist destinations. With the increasing construction of transport infrastructure, the demand for heavy machinery surged significantly.
Excavators, bulldozers, and graders were extensively employed for land clearing, earthmoving, and leveling tasks, relying on OTR tires to navigate challenging terrains & ensure operational efficiency. The rough & challenging conditions often lead to wear and tear of OTR tires, subsequently creating new demand for replacement tires for heavy equipment. Thus, the infrastructural development activities in the transportation sector across the country are resulting in the high demand for OTR tires, thereby proliferating the growth of the Ecuador OTR Tire Market.
Ecuador Off-the-Road Tire Market Opportunity:
Upgradation of Renewable Energy Power Plants to Open New Doors – Ecuador is witnessing significant growth in the convention of renewable energy sector driven by the country large renewable energy resources, like hydroelectric, solar, wind, etc., due to which the government is actively focused on the development of these renewable energy resources by modifying favorable policies & incentives, such as leverage in tariffs, and tax credits, aiming to boost investments in renewable energy projects and facilitate their integration into the national energy grid. Expansion of renewable energy infrastructure would be escalating the transportation of equipment & materials in loaders, trolleys, etc., to remote and rough terrain locations, further increasing the requirement for OTR tires. For instance, in 2021, as per the EIA, the electricity master plan includes almost 1.4 GW of new renewable energy capacity to the national grid by 2031.
Ecuador Off-the-Road Tire Market Challenge:
Increasing Popularity of Retreaded Tire Impeding Market Growth – The economic instability and price constraints in the country are increasing the demand for retreaded tires among end-users. The high price of new OTR tires is restricting businesses' growth, as the country has cost-effective alternatives, such as retreading, to extend the lifespan of their existing tire inventory. The advancements in retreading technology have improved the quality & durability of these tires, making them an appealing option for heavy machines operating in demanding locations.
Moreover, the country has a growing number of tire retreading companies, like Zarzari Tyres and Retread, Blacktires, etc., which have further driven the growth of retreaded tires. Retreaded tire players provide these tires at a low cost, attracting potential buyers. OTR tires are more expensive than retread tires. This expansion of retreading of OTR tires in the country has negatively affected the demand for new tires in the country.
Ecuador Off-the-Road Tire Market (2025-30): Segmentation Analysis
Ecuador OTR Tire Market study of MarkNtel Advisors evaluates & highlights the major trends and influencing factors in each segment. It includes predictions for the period 2025–2030 at the country level. Based on the analysis, the market has been further classified as:
Based on Type of Vehicle:
- Earth Moving Equipment
- Agricultural Equipment
- Material Handling Equipment
Among these, earthmoving equipment is the dominating segment with around 76% market share. The equipment is highly usable in construction and mining projects. Ecuador's remarkable geological potential and successful exploration efforts have enhanced the mining sector of the country. The country holds a reserve of a variety of minerals and metals, including gold, silver, zinc, lead, limestone, and more. Among these, gold and silver hold a noteworthy share owing to a considerable amount demanded for exports internationally. For instance, in 2023, USD1.5 billion worth of gold was exported from the country, as stated by OEC.
Combined with a supportive legal framework for mining, the country has positioned itself as the second most favorable destination for investments in mining by countries like the US, Canada, etc. For instance, a mining project by the SolGold company with the support of the Ecuadorian Government will invest around USD4.9 billion to develop the Cascabel mine in 2025. Such rapid expansion of the mining sector has naturally led to a surge in the deployment of earthmoving equipment, such as excavators, bulldozers, and loaders, to meet the demands of increased mining operations, which is driving the growth of the market. Similarly, the numerous new construction projects across the country are also going to support the growth of the OTR tires in the earthmoving equipment segment.
Based on Type of Tire:
- Radial
- Bias
Among these, radial is the dominating segment with around 55% market share. The growth of radial tires is driven by their numerous benefits, like better fuel efficiency, longer life due to less heat generation, and improved performance on hard surfaces. These benefits are increasingly recognized by operators and fleet managers. The radial tires, owing to their tire quality and longer life, are preferred largely by the construction and mining sectors. Foreseeing long-term cost savings and operational efficiency, consumers are gradually adopting these tires. OEMs have also experienced a significant demand for radial tires in their equipment, especially made for mining and construction applications. Thus, the rapidly growing awareness and a shift in preference for the operational benefits over bias tires are expected to drive the market growth in the forecast period.
