Market Definition
The tire industry across the Gulf was driven formerly by imports, with massive penetration of Chinese tires owing to their easy availability & affordability. However, over recent years, the region has been witnessing an increasing establishment of new automakers & tire manufacturers.
The GCC tire industry offers the assurance of high-quality tires with superior durability, owing to which their demand is escalating swiftly. Hence, its growth prospect in gulf countries is highly opportunistic for the leading tire manufacturers over the coming years.
Market Insights
The GCC Tire Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 4.8% during the forecast period, i.e., 2022-27. The growth of the market is likely to be driven primarily by the rapidly increasing vehicle sales across the GCC region, owing prominently to the improving economy, changing living standards, & growing preference for private vehicle ownership, i.e., propelling the demand for vehicles and directly impacting the tire market.
Besides, the mounting focus of governments of different countries across the region on infrastructural developments is displaying a rapid acceleration in construction projects, i.e., surging the need for heavy vehicles and, as a result, for tires. It is instigating tire manufacturers to increase their production capacities and meet the increasing end-user requirements, thereby driving the market. Moreover, favourable government policies are playing a vital role in attracting foreign investments, establishing new production facilities, & enhancing the import & export business of tires & automobiles.
Furthermore, with the mounting influx of tourism, pilgrims, & migrants across the GCC, the construction of residential complexes, hotels, shopping malls, highways, & airports, among others, is also escalating swiftly. It, in turn, is augmenting the demand for heavy construction equipment and positively influencing the tire market across the GCC region.

Impact of Covid-19 on the GCC Tire Market
The advent of Covid-19 in 2020 had a decelerating effect on most industries across the GCC, yet the tire industry witnessed moderate impacts. With the imposition of stringent movement restrictions & lockdowns, the leading players in the market observed several challenges associated with the development & distribution of tires.
International travel & trade were put on a temporary halt, and the influx of migrants & tourism substantially declined and caused severe economic fluctuations. Besides, the hampered transportation & logistics sector resulted in the delayed or canceled deliveries of pre-produced tires.

Moreover, the disruptions in the supply chain of raw materials, shortage of labor, demand-supply gaps, & shut down of manufacturing units, among others, were other prominent challenges that introduced massive revenue losses for the leading players in the GCC Tire Market.
However, since the economy of GCC countries relies immensely on the construction sector, governments of some countries allowed its operations amidst the crisis, which fueled the demand for heavy vehicle & construction equipment and, consequently, for tires.
With the gradual improvement in the pandemic situation, governments uplifted the restrictions and allowed the recommencement of market operations. As a result, the leading players increased their production capacities to meet the burgeoning tire demand across the region. Currently, they are working on introducing new product lines to expand their visibility & contribute to the recovery of the market growth.

Besides, better road connectivity & network across cities are also augmenting the adoption of vehicles for transportation. Moreover, favorable government policies are attracting substantial foreign manufacturers of tires to establish their manufacturing facilities across GCC and offer an extensive range of tires & vehicles to consumers.
Furthermore, the growing influx of migrants & tourists is another prominent aspect fueling the sales of passenger vehicles for commercial use like cabs, taxis, etc., thereby positively influencing the GCC Tire Market through 2027.
