The global aircraft tire market is set to reach a valuation of USD 1.8 billion in 2023 and is projected to expand to USD 3.3 billion by 2033, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% over the forecast period.

This growth is largely driven by the increasing demand for next-generation aircraft across both commercial and military sectors, coupled with a rise in aircraft procurement. The surge in air travel is also boosting the need for new aircraft, which in turn heightens the demand for aircraft tires. Additionally, rising investments in the air defense sector, fueled by growing geopolitical tensions, are expected to further stimulate market growth during the forecast period.

Advancements in tire manufacturing technologies, including the use of innovative materials like synthetic elastomer rubber and cross-linkable rubber, are enhancing tire durability and fuel efficiency by reducing tire weight. The increased need for aircraft in both combat and non-combat operations, along with heightened government investments in aviation infrastructure, is anticipated to drive market expansion.

The current rise in air travel demand is leading to a higher production of new aircraft to accommodate passenger needs, thereby accelerating the demand for aircraft tires. Furthermore, increased military spending on advanced aircraft in both developed and emerging regions is contributing to this trend. The growing demand for cost-effective aircraft tires is expected to further drive the market’s growth throughout the forecast period.
