Global Steel Cord for Tire Reinforcement Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Steel Cord for Tire Reinforcement market size was valued at US$ 5320 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 6747 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.6% during review period.
Steel cord for tire reinforcement is a high-strength wire used in the construction of tires, particularly in the steel-belted radial tires commonly found in automobiles, trucks, and heavy machinery. It is made from thin strands of steel wire that are twisted together to form a robust and flexible cord. These steel cords provide superior strength, durability, and resistance to tension, helping to reinforce the tire’s structure and improve its performance. By enhancing the tire’s ability to withstand stress, impact, and heat, steel cords play a crucial role in extending tire lifespan, improving safety, and ensuring better traction and stability on the road. Steel cord also helps in optimizing the tire's load-bearing capacity and contributes to the overall fuel efficiency of vehicles.
Market Drivers:
1. Growing Automotive Industry
As the global automotive industry continues to expand, particularly in emerging economies, the demand for high-performance tires is on the rise. Steel cord is an essential component in tire reinforcement, providing improved strength, durability, and safety for tires, which in turn boosts demand.
2. Increasing Demand for High-Performance Tires
High-performance tires, which require better reinforcement materials, are gaining popularity, especially for sports cars, luxury vehicles, and heavy-duty trucks. Steel cords help improve the overall performance of tires by offering superior strength, longevity, and safety, driving their demand in the tire manufacturing industry.
3. Demand for Enhanced Fuel Efficiency
The need for more fuel-efficient vehicles is propelling the demand for tires that reduce rolling resistance. Steel cords provide better structural integrity, which leads to tires that are lighter yet stronger, helping improve fuel efficiency.
4. Technological Advancements in Tire Manufacturing
Continuous advancements in tire technology, such as the development of smarter tires with improved tread designs, have increased the reliance on steel cords for reinforcement. The integration of advanced materials with steel cord reinforcement contributes to better overall tire performance.
5. Tire Safety Regulations
Stringent regulations and safety standards imposed by governments worldwide, particularly regarding tire strength and performance, drive the demand for high-quality materials like steel cord for tire reinforcement. Steel cord provides enhanced durability, which helps meet these regulatory requirements.
6. Growth in the Commercial Vehicle Sector
The commercial vehicle sector, which includes trucks, buses, and other heavy-duty vehicles, requires strong, durable tires. Steel cords are used extensively for reinforcing tires in these vehicles, where durability and load-bearing capacity are critical.
Market Challenges:
1. Fluctuating Raw Material Prices
The prices of raw materials required to manufacture steel cords, such as steel, can be volatile due to global supply chain issues, economic conditions, and geopolitical factors. These price fluctuations can increase production costs for manufacturers, affecting the profitability of businesses in the steel cord and tire industries.
2. High Manufacturing Costs
Producing steel cord requires significant investment in specialized equipment, technology, and skilled labor. The manufacturing process itself is also energy-intensive, which can lead to high production costs. These costs may be a challenge for smaller manufacturers or those operating in regions with higher labor or energy costs.
3. Supply Chain Disruptions
The steel cord industry is heavily reliant on a well-established and stable supply chain for raw materials, manufacturing, and distribution. Disruptions, such as those caused by natural disasters, trade tensions, or pandemics, can result in delays, increased costs, or shortages of materials, affecting the timely production of steel cord for tire reinforcement.
4. Competition from Alternative Reinforcement Materials
Steel cord faces competition from alternative materials, such as synthetic materials, aramid fiber, and polyester, that are used for tire reinforcement. These alternatives often offer benefits like lighter weight, lower costs, or enhanced performance in specific applications. As manufacturers explore these alternatives, they may reduce their reliance on steel cords.
