Global forestry equipment tire market dynamics
The forestry equipment tire market is expected to witness healthy growth throughout the forecast period. Long term growth in the demand for forestry equipment tires is expected to be driven by the socio-economic outlook, which in turn rests on the changing demographic, continuous economic growth, urbanization and increasing affluent population.
Growing urbanization has led to an increase in the demand for wood and wood products. Manufacturers across the region are increasingly adopting stable, reliable and comfortable forestry equipment to increase efficiency and output. This scenario is likely to result in a rise in the production of forestry equipment – driving the demand for forestry equipment tires from the OEM segment.
Furthermore, recovery of the construction industry across developed geographies such as North America and Europe is expected to drive the demand for wood, supporting growth in the forestry equipment tire market. Forestry equipment is generally expensive and requires periodic maintenance checks for smooth operations. The high price of forestry equipment as well as the high maintenance cost affects their adoption in developing countries and further hinders the growth of forestry equipment tires in these regions.
• On the basis of type, the pneumatic tire market segment is expected to be a high value segment, accounting for a significant share of the global forestry equipment tire market. While the segment is expected to witness robust growth during the forecast period, it is expected to face stiff competition from solid tires and polymer-based tires, owing to their enhanced performance and longer work life.
• Among equipment type segments, the forestry tractor tire segment is pegged to be a prominent segment in the global forestry equipment tire market. The segment is expected to maintain its prominence throughout the forecast period. The forestry skidders and forwarders segment is expected to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period.
• By sales channel type, the aftersales channel segment dominates the global forestry equipment tire market with a significant share and is expected to experience robust growth during the forecast period.
