Green Tire Market Dynamics:

The main driver of the global Green Tire Market is the growth of the middle class and the consequent increase in vehicle ownership in emerging markets, especially in Asia. With growing concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and the limited availability of natural resources to meet the demands of more and more consumers, the industry is in the government and market for more sustainable products like green tires. As a result, tire manufacturers are promoting sustainable tire technology, including the inclusion of renewable rubber in their products that is equal to or better than traditional rubber. Many tire manufacturers have strategic partnerships with governments, researchers and biotechnology companies to drive the commercial development of renewable rubber.

 

Notable developments in renewable rubber include Kuraray's 2018 announcement that sustainable liquid farnesene rubber is currently used in passenger car tires. Sumitomo Rubber is using Kuraray`s liquid farnesene rubber (LFR) made with sugar cane as a performance enhancing additive in the production of its latest winter tire, the Winter Maxx 02. This is the first time LFR has been used in car tires and is key ingredient in improving ice grip, Kuraray said. LFR is a liquid rubber using farnesene, a new biologically derived diene monomer that was developed by US biotechnology company Amyris.

 

Government regulations and economic drivers

Drivers of early and ongoing adoption of green tires are regulatory with increasing pressure on vehicle makers to reduce vehicle emissions and meet rising fuel economy targets. This pressure is driving development of LLR tires and their growing OE market penetration. Growth of alternative powertrains (hybrid and electric), as well as the evolution to shared/fleet vehicle use, and autonomous vehicles adding additional impetus to green tire adoption and continued gains in rolling resistance reduction are demanded. The replacement market for green tires has also grown through better consumer education and awareness provided by the European Union`s consumer tire labelling scheme that rates tire rolling resistance and other performance variables. Regulatory and labelling schemes promoting OE and replacement LRR tires are expanding beyond Europe too; OE market penetration is catching up to European levels in other regions with discussions taking place in the US. Other green tire market drivers are economic, with fuel cost (and battery range) sensitivity on the part of vehicle owners and fleet operators (increasingly supported by real-time tire data allowing total cost of tire ownership to be tracked) being important even during periods of more moderate gasoline prices.

 

Green Tire Market Segmentation:

Key materials for green tires

Green tires are continually being optimized to achieve the lowest possible rolling resistance by means of fillers such as highly dispersible silica (HD silica or HDS), improved carbon blacks or nanotechnology. This segment accounted for most of the green tire market in 2018, and will predominate through 2027. Other materials are contributing, some also from the standpoint of reducing rolling resistance, but also from that of general sustainability. Improvements in synthetic rubber attributes and sustainability (i.e. nonpetroleum alternatives) and the increased use and supply of natural rubber are key areas of attention and innovation. Initially, the emerging green technologies will be small in volume and value, with greater commercial potential occurring after the forecast period.

 

Rising in tandem with green tire unit demand, raw materials consumption for green tires demand is estimated at over 17.8 million tons in 2018, growing to 38 million in 2027, according to SMR’s Future of Green Tires to 2023 market report. Elastomers, fillers and fabrics are the dominant categories by weight, and growth will be led by sustainable ones such as natural rubber and rayon fabric, with synthetic rubbers showing the least growth in the green tire market.

 

Improvements in raw materials have been responsible for advances in rolling resistance and sustainability. HD silicas are playing an important role in green tire material consumption, but improvements in elastomers (e.g., functionalized) and fillers (carbon black) and other inputs such as oils and fabrics are also important.

 

Representative of the growing application of silica in tires, chemicals company Solvay is producing Highly Dispersible Silica (HDS) at its new plant in Poland. The plant produces 85,000 tons of HDS annually for use in green tires. Solvay said the use of its advanced silica grades in tires reduces vehicle fuel consumption by as much as 7%. The company also launched production at a new silica plant in South Korea that is expected to raise annual capacity by close to 50%.

 

Biobased rubber for greener tires

Biosourcing of synthetic rubbers and other ingredients, the expansion of natural rubber availability and biological alternatives to natural rubber are key areas of attention too.

 

In the area of biorubber, Cooper Tire and Rubber and its consortium partners, including Clemson University, Cornell University, PanAridus and the Agricultural Research Service of the US Department of Agriculture, completed a fiveyear $6.9 million Biomass R&D Initiative (BRDI) grant called “Securing the Future of Natural Rubber—an American Tire and Bioenergy Platform from Guayule” in 2017.

 

The grant team studied the feasibility of using guayule in tires versus Hevea natural rubber and produced concept passenger car tires in which all natural and synthetic rubber was replaced by guayule based natural rubber. Alliance of Global R & D at Cooper, commented: The Cooper can use Guayur rubber for tomorrow's tire production if sufficient materials are available to meet production needs at a competitive price. There is a great opportunity to scale up sustainable tire products and processes, and currently only about half of our inputs are considered sustainable. The largest of these (tonnage) are synthetic elastomers, carbon black, and textile cords (nylon and polyester). Other goals include reducing material waste, reducing energy consumption during manufacturing, and ensuring end-of-life waste (mainly through material recovery).

 

 

Electric and Self-Driving Car Market:

 Hybrid and electric vehicles are, of course, suitable for green tires. In addition to the natural orientation, these vehicle requirements such as torque and acceleration, as well as the need for maximum fuel consumption to extend the battery range, are taken into account. Tire manufacturers are increasingly required to use products with low rolling resistance in order to gain greater market share. Drivers of these vehicles are also more likely to use LRR tires when replacing, regardless of cost.

 

Another problem is the emergence of self-driving cars. Although the referral is completely outside the forecast period for this report, tire development will increasingly be tailored to the needs of these vehicles. For one, most or all are likely to be electric and require modern rolling resistance reductions. High reliability is also important, and in addition to providing detailed real-time tire information about ownership, for smart tires, non-pneumatic and smart tire options that eliminate or manage tire pressure and reliability issues. More attention will be paid. Cost control and optimization. With the development of the self-driving car, tire manufacturers and others are introducing new products to catch up with disruptive technology.

 

For example, Goodyear's two concept tires for self-driving cars include the spherical Eagle 360, which provides maneuverability, connectivity and bio-imitation for autonomous driving, and the IntelliGrip with advanced sensors and tread technology. The Eagle360 allows the car to move in all directions to cope with space limitations. The tires use builtin sensors to communicate road, weather and tire conditions, and feature a magnetic push to stop the vehicle, allowing for a smooth and quiet ride.

 

IntelliGrip recognizes road surface and weather conditions to improve driving safety and performance. It adapts to road conditions by detecting rain and slippery roads so that self-driving cars can adjust their speed.

 

Market challenges:

There are other compelling and rewarding aspects of the green tire market. The availability and pricing of natural, synthetic, and bio-based materials can be unpredictable, and how quickly many of the more environmentally friendly technology options can move from concept and pilot projects to commercial scale. It's not clear. Market acceptance depends on local regulations and preferences, but all major tire manufacturers are working on green tires. The desire to reduce emissions, improve fuel efficiency and integrate new transportation models is shared by the government and tire manufacturers as well. They see Green Tire not as a product segment in itself, but as a key technology and resource management method that is becoming central to its business model.
