GLOBAL CRISES IMPACTING MOTORCYCLE TYRES MARKET COVID-19 IMPACT

Motorcycle Tyres Had a Negative Effect Due to Disruptions in Supply Chain during COVID-19 Pandemic

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

Disruptions in operations due to lockdowns, forced shut down as manufacturing plants were closed temporarily affected the production of tyres. Raw material supply problems were prevalent across many firms; this led to constrained production and higher cycle times for tyre production. The COVID-19 outbreak affected operations across the entire sector supply chain, logistics constraints and higher freight costs affected transportation of tyres to retailers and or to the end consumer, resulting in availability shortfalls in some locations.

LATEST TRENDS

"Focus on Sustainability to Propel Market Growth"

This variety has risen to prominence largely owing to the rising consumer consciousness regarding sustainability in the motorcycle tyres market. Companies in this industry are looking forward to adopting natural sources for raw material and recycling to canonize the effects on the environment especially regarding disposal of used tyres. Other advancements in tire design as pertains to usage seeks to improve the fuel economy and minimize rolling resistance output in an effort to minimize emissions when in use.

MOTORCYCLE TYRES MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into Bias Tyre and Radial Tyre.

• Bias Tyre- Bias tyres are built with fabric plies surrounding the bead with the plys oriented at an angle of between 30 to 40 degrees from the direction of travel. This construction method makes the arrangement of plies to cross each other, thus providing a strong sidewall and a distorted area of the tread.
• Radial Tyre- Radial tyres consist of plies that are positioned in a manner that is perpendicular to the direction of the movement; this design results in the tyre boasting of a weaker sidewall while boasting a relatively rigid threading surface. This facilitates increased stability, handling and response making radial a choice for high powered motorbikes and sports riding.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Replacement and OE.

• Replacement- A consumer product tyre is defined as those tyres which are bought by a consumer with a purpose of replacing worn or damaged motorcycle tyres. This application is significant for the enhanced performance, safety and stable handling of the motorcycle.
• OE- OE tyres simply therefore mean the motorcycles that are fitted in the manufacturing process are original and are known as OE tires. These tyres are carefully chosen by manufacturers to blend with design specification, performance and control attributes of the motorcycle model.

MARKET DYNAMICS
