根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據，2024 年全球自行車輪胎市場價值將達到 226.8 億美元，預計到 2030 年將達到 327.4 億美元，預測期內複合年成長率為 6.9%。

自行車輪胎是附著在自行車車輪上的橡膠覆蓋層，提供牽引力、緩衝和穩定性。它圍繞著輪輞，並充滿空氣或固態材料，以支撐騎手的重量並吸收來自道路的衝擊。自行車輪胎有多種設計，包括具有光滑紋理以提高速度的公路輪胎，以及具有多節紋理以在崎嶇道路上提供抓地力的越野輪胎。輪胎尺寸、胎面花紋和材質因自行車類型和預期用途而異。

根據全印度自行車製造商協會介紹，中國被譽為“自行車王國”，是世界上自行車產量最多的國家，佔據了自行車輪胎市場近90%的佔有率。

健康和健身意識不斷增強

隨著越來越多的人試圖保持積極的生活方式，騎自行車越來越被視為一種低影響且有效的運動方式。這些不斷變化的消費者偏好正在推動自行車輪胎市場的成長，越來越多的自行車被購買用於休閒、通勤和健身目的。對個人健康和永續性的日益關注進一步推動了對高品質自行車輪胎的需求，包括為各種騎行活動設計的輪胎，以及根據健身愛好者的需求量身定做的輪胎技術。為市場擴張做出貢獻。

原物料價格波動

自行車輪胎原料價格的波動主要是由於橡膠、合成化合物和石油基材料等關鍵原料的波動所造成的。這些原料會受到全球供應鏈、環境因素和市場因素的干擾。當價格上漲時，製造商面臨生產成本增加，這可能以輪胎價格上漲的形式轉嫁給消費者。這可能會減少需求，尤其是對成本敏感的消費者，並阻礙市場成長。

環保交通途徑日益普及

自行車因其環境效益而成為人們的首選，人們對高性能、耐用且環保的自行車輪胎的需求不斷成長。這一趨勢正在推動對高性能、耐用且環保的自行車輪胎的需求不斷增加。製造商正專注於開發由再生橡膠和生物分解性化合物等永續材料製成的輪胎，以跟上全球綠色替代品運動的步伐。此外，都市區自行車基礎設施的改善和政府獎勵進一步支持自行車運動的普及，有助於自行車輪胎市場的擴大。

與替代交通途徑的競爭

電動Scooter、電動自行車和共乘服務等替代交通途徑通常提供便利、速度和減少身體壓力，吸引了廣泛的消費者。隨著都市區對這些選擇的基礎設施進行投資，對傳統自行車的需求可能會下降，從而限制自行車輪胎的成長潛力。此外，一些替代品被認為對於日常通勤來說更加通用和實用，進一步減少了自行車和輪胎等相關部件的市場佔有率。

COVID-19 的影響

COVID-19 大流行對自行車輪胎市場產生了重大影響，隨著人們在關門和保持社交距離的情況下尋求替代交通途徑，導致需求增加。以健身、通勤和休閒為目的的自行車運動的激增推動了輪胎銷售的成長。然而，供應鏈中斷，包括原料取得延遲和製造限制，阻礙了生產。疫情過後，需求維持穩定，但隨著製造業持續復甦，部分地區供應面臨挑戰。

無內胎輪胎市場預計將在預測期內成為最大的市場

預計無內胎輪胎領域將在整個預測期內佔據最大的市場佔有率。無內胎輪胎的設計使輪胎和輪圈形成氣密密封，而無需使用內胎。由於沒有會導致刺穿的內胎，因此降低了刺穿的風險，並降低了滾動阻力，以實現平穩騎行。無內胎輪胎可以在較低的氣壓下運行，從而提高牽引力和舒適度，尤其是在崎嶇的道路上。

山地自行車領域預計在預測期內複合年成長率最高。

山地自行車領域預計在預測期內複合年成長率最高。山地自行車輪胎專為越野騎乘而設計，具有更高的耐用性和牽引力。這些輪胎通常具有節狀胎面花紋，可在泥土、泥土和岩石等崎嶇地形上提供抓地力。它們還採用多種材料製成，包括橡膠和凱夫拉纖維，並提供有內胎、無內胎和開口胎設計，以適應不同的騎乘條件和偏好。

佔比最大的地區：

在健康意識不斷提高、自行車參與度增加和都市化程度不斷提高的推動下，亞太地區預計將在預測期內創下最大的市場佔有率。中國、印度和日本等國家是主要貢獻者，對傳統自行車和電動自行車的需求都在增加。此外，輪胎技術的進步，例如耐穿刺和高性能輪胎，正在推動市場成長。電子商務平台在推動整個全部區域的銷售和可及性方面也發揮著關鍵作用。

複合年成長率最高的地區：

由於消費者對騎自行車休閒、健身和通勤的興趣不斷增加，預計北美地區在預測期內的複合年成長率最高。環保意識的提高和永續交通途徑的推廣也促進了自行車需求。該地區的主要企業專注於提供滿足各種騎行需求的高性能輪胎，並正在推動北美都市區和鄉村的成長。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Bicycle Tire Market is accounted for $22.68 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $32.74 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. A bicycle tire is a rubber covering mounted on a bicycle wheel, providing traction, cushioning, and stability. It encircles the wheel's rim and is inflated with air or filled with a solid material to support the weight of the rider and absorb road shock. Bicycle tires come in various designs, including road tires, which are smooth for speed, and off-road tires, which have a knobby texture for grip on rough terrain. The size, tread pattern, and material of the tire vary depending on the type of bicycle and the intended use.

According to the All-India Bicycle Manufacturers Association, China is renowned as the "Kingdom of Bicycles" since it produces the most bicycles in the world, it almost holds about 90 percent of the bicycle tire market.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising health and fitness awareness

As more individuals seek to maintain active lifestyles, cycling is increasingly seen as a low-impact, effective workout. This shift in consumer preferences drives the growth of the bicycle tire market, as more bikes are purchased for recreational, commuting, and fitness purposes. Enhanced focus on personal well-being and sustainability further fuels the demand for high-quality bicycle tires, including those designed for different cycling activities, contributing to market expansion through innovations in tire technology and materials tailored to fitness enthusiast's needs.

Restraint:

Raw material price fluctuations

Raw material price fluctuations in the bicycle tire are primarily due to the volatility of key inputs like rubber, synthetic compounds, and oil-based materials. These materials are subject to global supply chain disruptions, environmental factors, and market speculation. As prices rise, manufacturers face increased production costs, which may be passed on to consumers in the form of higher tire prices. This can reduce demand, particularly among cost-sensitive consumers, and hinder market growth.

Opportunity:

Growing popularity of eco-friendly transportation

Bicycles are becoming a favoured choice due to their environmental benefits, prompting increased demand for high-performance, durable, and eco-friendly bicycle tires. This trend is prompting an increased demand for high-performance, durable, and eco-friendly bicycle tires. Manufacturers are focusing on developing tires made from sustainable materials like recycled rubber or biodegradable compounds, aligning with the global push for greener alternatives. Additionally, urban cycling infrastructure improvements and government incentives further boost bicycle adoption, contributing to the expanding market for bicycle tires.

Threat:

Competition from alternative transport options

Alternative transport options such as electric scooters, electric bikes, and ride-sharing services often offer convenience, speed, and reduced physical effort, appealing to a broader range of consumers. As urban areas invest in infrastructure for these options, the demand for traditional bicycles may decrease, limiting the growth potential for bicycle tires. Additionally, some alternatives are perceived as more versatile or practical for daily commuting, further diminishing the market share for bicycles and their associated components like tires.

Covid-19 Impact

The covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted the bicycle tire market, leading to increased demand as people sought alternative modes of transportation during lockdowns and social distancing. This surge in cycling for fitness, commuting, and recreation boosted tire sales. However, supply chain disruptions, including delays in raw material availability and manufacturing limitations, hindered production. Post-pandemic, while demand remained stable, some regions experienced challenges in meeting supply due to the ongoing recovery of the manufacturing sector.

The tubeless tires segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The tubeless tires segment is predicted to secure the largest market share throughout the forecast period. Tubeless bicycle tires are designed without an inner tube, allowing the tire and rim to form an airtight seal. This setup reduces the risk of punctures since there's no inner tube to puncture, providing a smoother ride with lower rolling resistance. Tubeless tires can be run at lower pressures, offering better traction and comfort, especially on rough terrain.

The mountain bicycles segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The mountain bicycles segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Bicycle tires in mountain bike applications are designed for off-road performance, offering enhanced durability and traction. These tires typically feature a knobby tread pattern that provides grip on uneven, rugged terrain, such as dirt, mud, and rocks. They also come in various materials, such as rubber and Kevlar, with options for tube, tubeless, or clincher designs to suit different riding conditions and preferences.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is expected to register the largest market share during the forecast period driven by rising health awareness, increasing cycling participation, and growing urbanization. Countries like China, India, and Japan are major contributors, with expanding demand for both traditional and electric bicycles. Additionally, advancements in tire technology, such as puncture-resistant and high-performance tires, are boosting market growth. E-commerce platforms also play a key role in driving sales and accessibility across the region.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is expected to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast period due to increasing consumer interest in cycling for recreation, fitness, and commuting. Rising environmental awareness and the push for sustainable transportation also contribute to the demand for bicycles. Key players in the region are focusing on providing high-performance tires for various cycling needs, driving growth in both urban and rural areas across North America.
