Nylon Tire Cord Fabrics Market Analysis
The Nylon Tire Cord Fabrics Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 4% during the forecast period.
COVID-19 negatively impacted the market in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic affected the nylon tire cord fabrics market because of disruption in the supply chain globally. During the pandemic, many factories responsible for raw material production, mainly chemicals like adipic acid, for the nylon tire cord fabrics industry were shut down. There was also a change in priority to the health sector and sectors like tire manufacturing and the automotive industry were on temporary hold. In the automotive industry, nylon tire cord fabric is used for providing longer life, improved safety, and weight reduction to vehicles. However, the post-pandemic increase in demand for electric vehicles due to favorable government policies is expected to boost the market for nylon tire cord fabrics globally.
- Over the short term, growing demand for passenger cars in developing countries along with rising demand for fuel-efficient vehicles and increasing penetration of autonomous or self-driving vehicles, are some of the driving factors which are stimulating the market demand.
- Stringent government regulations for the tire industry to safeguard the environment is the factor hindering the market's growth.
- Increasing demand for electric vehicles across the globe and R&D in the field of plant-based nylon fabric is likely to create opportunities for the market in the coming years.
- The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market and is also likely to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Nylon Tire Cord Fabrics Market Trends
Increasing Usage in the Radial Tire Industry
- A radial tire is widely adopted in the automotive industry owing to improved driving comfort, better road contact, and lower fuel consumption in tires at high speed. It is widely used in light commercial vehicles and passenger cars. The radial tire is constructed in such a way that it has much more flexible sidewalls, thus generating less heat.
- Increasing investments in electric vehicles coupled with new incentives and regulations introduced by various governments globally to fuel electric vehicle sales are expected to drive the automotive tire market. Besides, the growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles to lower carbon footprint in the environment is expected to boost the demand for electric vehicles and other related products used in vehicles such as tires.
- The global electric vehicle sales stood at 6.7 million units in 2021 as compared to 3.1 million units in 2020, according to International Energy Agency (IEA). This will stimulate the demand for the radial tire industry in the electric vehicle segment.
- Superior properties of radial tires such as high breaking strength, improved impact resistance, and good adhesive strength with rubber, enhance their usage in the automotive sector. As per the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), global automotive sales amounted to 82.68 million units in 2021 as compared to 78.77 million units in 2020, registering a growth of 4.9%.
- The growing demand for passenger cars due to the rise in the middle-class population and disposable income are the factors driving the automotive industry. The global passenger car sales reached 56.39 million units in 2021 as compared to 53.92 million units in 2020, registering a growth of 4.6%, which in turn stimulates the demand for the radial tire market.
- Owing to all these factors, the market for radial tires is likely to grow globally during the forecast period.
