Pollution levels are high across the globe and there are several factors contributing to it. Air pollution due to rising traffic problems has prompted the overwhelming support for the development of efficient automotive vehicles with minimum environmental impact. Vehicle pollution results in high emissions of nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, and other pollutants. Green tires are one such solution. Market Research Future has analyzed the global automotive green tires market in its new report for the forecast period from 2017 to 2023. The market for green tires is anticipated to witness considerable expansion over the forecast period.
Inefficient use of fuel in a vehicle can lead to greater emissions and leave a higher negative impact on the environment. The reduced use of proper public transport systems due to the lack of the same combined with the use of old diesel vehicles has further increased the air pollution level in developing countries, thus contributing to a global problem. As a result, the demand for green vehicle components has grown considerably. Green tires are a great option as they reduce the rolling resistance between the tire and surface of the road. Companies have developed green tires which are highly safe and help in reducing emissions by being more fuel efficient. Traditional tires are made from rubber, green tires are made from a number of raw materials including silane incorporated rubber, recycled rubber, and renewable raw materials to name a few. The growing global consciousness for the environment among consumers and governments of various countries has prompted a huge and supportive demand for green tires, thus driving the growth of the market. Increasingly stringent regulations regarding emissions in developed economies are driving the adoption of green tires. Moreover, the growth of emerging economies has driven the demand for green tires in new and growing automotive vehicle sales.
Ongoing development of green tires using suitable materials has not yet resulted in the best solution. The uncertainty surrounding materials used is both a challenge and opportunity as it is driving R&D activities for the development of the same. Moreover, the lack of awareness regarding green tires in emerging countries will likely slow market growth over the review period.
