South Korea Tire Market Size

The South Korea tire market reached approximately USD 9.29 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of around USD 14.48 billion by 2032.

 

South Korea Tire Market Outlook

  • As per the industry reports in 2022, South Korea ranked 17th in the export of retreaded tires across the world.
  • Nexen Tire Corp., the South Korean tire manufacturer, announced in July 2023 that it aims to increase its production capacity by 40 per cent in the next five years.
  • France, Romania, and the United Kingdom were the major import countries for used pneumatic tires from South Korea in 2022.

 

South Korea Tire Market Growth

The rise in vehicle ownership and the growth of the automotive sector are two of the most prominent factors boosting the market growth. The growing prevalence of key automotive manufacturers such as Hyundai and GM Korea is expected to fuel the sales of automobiles, which creates a high demand for tires. With the increased purchasing power of buyers, there is a surge in the sales of vehicles such as eco-friendly cars. For instance, around 100,000 units of environmentally friendly cars were sold in the first quarter of 2024 in the country, leading to high demand for tires.

 

The burgeoning demand for the replacement of old tires due to increased wear and tear is another crucial factor aiding the tire market expansion. Customers are readily investing in new tires to enhance the performance of their vehicles, get better gas mileage, and get a better grip during the rainy season.

 

Favourable government regulations and policies are also expected to support the growth of the tire sector. For instance, The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy (MOTIE) has mandated a tire labelling system that focuses on wet grip and rolling sound emissions for tires of passenger cars, light trucks, and buses, which is expected to create significant opportunities for the market players.

 

The demand for retreading tires is witnessing an upward trajectory as the retreading of tires prevents frequent tire replacement, increases their lifecycles, and offers a cost-effective option for their continued usage. It also offers a sustainable option as retreading can reduce the overall carbon dioxide emission.

The best users of all-season tires are individuals who live in milder climates and don't commonly encounter harsh winter weather conditions like snow, ice, and extreme cold. All-season tires have become more and more popular in recent years due to technological developments and ongoing improvements in rubber compounds.
