COVID-19 IMPACT

Mining Truck Tire Industry Had a Negative Effect Due to Pandemic Impact during COVID-19

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a negative influence on the mining truck tire market in view of the diminished demand occasioned by suspended mining operations and disrupted supply chains. The limitations of movement by stay-at-home orders and also the closure of operations meant that there was less demand for mining trucks—and therefore, less demand for tires. Besides, QR shut the manufacturing plants, and the transportation of materials also faced certain hurdles that also hindered the manufacturing process. These problems led to a slowing down of the market growth, which affected numerous businesses financially and logistically by the pandemic.

LATEST TREND

"Smart tire technology with IoT boosts market growth"

A notable development that characterizes the dynamics of the Mining Truck Tire Market is rising smart tire technology used to enhance efficiency and reliability at a lower price. These tires come with monitoring systems that enable it to monitor its pressure and temperature, reducing on safety and efficiency. This trend is making progress as mining firms look for ways to minimize lost time and get more life out of their tires. This change is now being propelled by the application of IoT (Internet of Things) with tire management systems in the mining industry.

MINING TRUCK TIRE MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type 

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Pneumatic, Solid & Polyurethane

• Pneumatic Tires: The highest market share is owned by pneumatic-type tires due to their ability to combine toughness, strength, damping, and overall performance. These are normally inflated and offer good grip on any ground type and shock absorption on ANY terrain. Nevertheless, they are easily punctured and need to be inflated periodically so that they can serve their intended purpose properly.
• Solid Tires: They are made of rubber material, which is solid, unlike the conventional bicycle tires since they do not have an air compartment, thus cannot be easily punctured. compared with these tires, these ones have better durability and are normally used in mining areas where the chance of getting a flat is highly undesirable. Despite this, they provide more rigid surface area and need more time for the same area than pneumatic tires result in the tires as well as the vehicles becoming worn out.
• Polyurethane Tires: Polyurethane tires; this material has been proved to have excellent wearing capacity as well as resistance to wear and tear and the capability to bear a load more than the rubber tires. It is normally employed in those areas where service life is important, such as the mining industries. Besides, they are costlier than other ordinary tires, though the long duration they can serve and the relatively few services they require can balance the initial prices.

By Application 

Based on Application, the global market can be categorized into OEM & Aftermarket

• OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): Original equipment tires are then provided by tire makers to mining truck makers, and these are fitted on new vehicles. Such tires are intended to ensure that they meet certain vehicle and operational needs to allow for optimum performance from the word go. Original equipment manufacturer tires are comparatively costly because the manufacturers produce them to fit the specific requirements of vehicle producers and are built to high quality.
• Aftermarket: Aftermarket tires are bought to replace original equipment mining truck tires, which seem to have a wider variety of choices at lower price levels. These tires afford choice concerning the brands, tire types, and specifications required for operation. The aftermarket segment, therefore, is normally more talented and more in demand because after long-term mining operations, there will always be a need for replacement of tires.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.  

Driving Factors

"Rising mining demands and durable tires drive market growth"

The increasing global usage of raw material for consumption including coal, metals, and mineral has led to the growth of Mining Truck Tire Market. When mining operations seek to make up for these demand requirements, the need to apply heavy duty trucks, and thus the tires, too, rises. This increase in production needs tougher and performing tyres that can be able to withstand the harsh nature of mines. Mining firms are applying new generations of tires on trucks in a bid to achieve higher reliability and lowered downtime. This trend has put the market of mining truck tires into development particularly in areas where mining industries are growing rapidly.

"Technological advancements in tires drive market growth"

The market is experiencing continued growth due to inventions and creations in the tires like incorporation of sensors in tires as well as enhanced tread patterns. Some of these developments include longer lasting, better fuel consumption rates and longer tire utilization leading to cost effectiveness. The use of sensor technology makes it possible to monitor the tires in real-time and hence minimize the period that a tire takes before it can be back on the service again as well as enhancing the performance of the tire. These advanced tire solutions are slowly and gradually implemented by mining companies as a way to reduce their operating expenses and boost their efficiency. For this reason, technological advancement can be considered as one of the major drives the mining truck tire market growth.

Restraining Factor

"High initial costs hinder market growth, especially globally"

A major factor that limited the growth of the Mining Truck Tire Market is the initial cost of investing in durable and high-performance tires. Mining truck tires, and particularly those that serve arduous environments and Smart Technology, do not come cheap. These relatively expensive tires may prove to be a barrier to entry for small mining companies or firms interested in reducing their operating expenditures dramatically. However, with these tires, there will always be advantages to the long-term but the capital to install them could be hard to come by hence dampening their uptake in low priced zone markets. This form of financial barriers can also post a negative impact to this varied market growth particularly to emerging economies.

Opportunity

"Eco-friendly trends and sustainability challenges shape market growth"

One of the new trends in the mining truck tire market, which may act as a growth-driving force, is the growing focus on using environmentally friendly tires. In this respect, as requirements for the mining sector become stricter, manufacturers want to use wheels that have low impact on the environment and burn less fuel. The tires produced by manufacturers are sustainable or built from materials that can be easily recycled since the world has turned into a green industry. Such green tire options not only address the specific regulation needs of an establishment but also address the demands of firms that are environmentally conscious. Therefore, increased awareness of the environmental negative impact may extend being a restraint factor in the market’s novelty and growth. This trend represents a new market that will be highly motivated by environmental issues for tire manufacturers.One of the key issues confronting the mining truck tire market is the high degree of wear and tear that tires are subjected to in mines. 

Challenge  

"Frequent tire wear challenges market growth despite demands"

A significant challenge faced by the mining truck tire market is the excessive wear and tear that tires endure in harsh mining environments. Mountain trucks hauling minerals and ores are troublesome with large load capacities; the tires undergo fast wear and tear and, therefore, require much more frequent replacement besides the high costs of maintenance. High temperatures, sharp rocks, and rough roads further hasten the rapid wear. This leads to shorter tire durability and impractical operation efficiency in general. The issue that confronts businesses is how to provide long-lasting tires that are efficient in their operation but affordable and at the same time not too expensive. One of the biggest challenges of marketing to date, therefore, is how to produce tires that can be used in such conditions without necessarily experiencing high costs.
