Press Release

Malaysia Tire Market to Grow with a CAGR of 5.86% through 2030

Rising vehicle ownership, expanding logistics operations, and increasing demand for tire replacements due to tropical road conditions are the factors driving the market in the forecast period 2026–2030.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Malaysia Tire Market – Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F”, The Malaysia Tire Market was valued at USD 1.49 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.10 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.86% during the forecast period.

The Indonesia tire market is evolving rapidly, driven by the expansion of domestic manufacturing, increasing investments in infrastructure projects, and supportive government industrialization policies. The country’s position as a major producer of natural rubber provides tire manufacturers with a raw material advantage, encouraging both local production and foreign direct investment in tire plants. Growth in the agriculture, mining, and construction sectors is accelerating demand for off-the-road (OTR) and specialty tires, as heavy machinery and commercial fleets become more central to national development activities. The rising average age of vehicles on Indonesian roads is also spurring the replacement tire segment, particularly in rural and secondary urban areas where maintenance intervals are less frequent but vehicles remain in use for extended periods.

Consumer behavior in Indonesia reflects a growing interest in tire performance, fuel efficiency, and safety, influenced by increasing disposable incomes and more educated buying patterns. The gradual shift from bias-ply to radial tires is one such reflection, with more motorists seeking longer-lasting, high-performance options for both urban and intercity travel. Motorcycle tires dominate volume sales due to the significant population of two-wheelers, especially in densely populated cities where they serve as a primary mode of transport. The aftermarket sector is being propelled by the growth of small garages, multi-brand service outlets, and roadside tire businesses that cater to a broad customer base, especially in semi-urban and rural locations. This decentralized service ecosystem is enhancing tire accessibility and driving consumption in less formal channels.

 

Digitization is emerging as a core element shaping the Indonesia tire market. Mobile applications, localized e-commerce platforms, and digital payment integration are improving the customer journey and reducing friction in tire purchases. Environmental consciousness, though still in early stages, is beginning to impact product selection as consumers show interest in recyclable materials, low rolling resistance tires, and brands with green manufacturing practices. Challenges persist in the form of underdeveloped logistics in remote regions, variability in tire quality due to informal imports, and relatively low enforcement of safety certifications. Yet, the market’s momentum remains strong due to favorable macroeconomic conditions, steady motorization rates, and a supportive policy environment that incentivizes local value creation across the tire supply chain. These factors position Indonesia as one of the most promising tire markets in Southeast Asia over the next decade.

Malaysia Tire Market Is Segmented by Vehicle Type, Demand Category, Tire Construction Type, and By Region.

​In 2024, the Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) segment emerged as the fastest-growing category in the Malaysian tire market, driven by several key factors. LCVs, which include small delivery trucks, vans, and other commercial vehicles, have become essential for the growing e-commerce and logistics sectors. The rise in online shopping has led to an increased demand for delivery vehicles, making LCVs indispensable for last-mile deliveries. These vehicles require tires that can withstand the frequent use and varied road conditions encountered in daily operations, driving higher sales in the replacement tire market. As e-commerce continues to thrive, the demand for LCVs is expected to remain strong, thereby fueling tire consumption.

Furthermore, Malaysia's continued focus on infrastructure development has significantly contributed to the growth of the LCV market. Government initiatives, including investments in road improvements and the construction of new industrial zones, have increased the demand for small commercial vehicles. These vehicles are often used for transporting goods, raw materials, and equipment, particularly in sectors such as manufacturing, construction, and agriculture. As the LCV fleet expands to meet the needs of these industries, the demand for high-quality tires, especially those designed for durability and fuel efficiency, has surged. This trend highlights the vital role that LCVs play in Malaysia’s logistics and commercial sectors, making them a key driver of tire market growth.

The Eastern Region of Malaysia has also emerged as the fastest-growing area in the tire market in 2024, contributing significantly to the overall market expansion. This region is home to several industrial and manufacturing hubs, making it a key area for commercial vehicle use. As industries in Eastern Malaysia grow, the demand for commercial vehicles, including LCVs, increases, which in turn drives the need for tires. The region’s strategic location, with access to major ports and shipping routes, has boosted its position as a logistics and trade center, further fueling demand for tires, particularly in the replacement market.

In addition to industrial growth, infrastructure development in Eastern Malaysia has enhanced transportation networks, improving connectivity within the region and with other parts of the country. The construction of new highways and roadways, coupled with increased investments in transportation infrastructure, has bolstered the demand for LCVs, which are essential for carrying goods across these expanded networks. As the region continues to develop and urbanize, the need for tires that can handle diverse road conditions and provide durability for frequent use in LCVs will remain high. Consequently, the tire market in Eastern Malaysia is projected to continue its growth, driven by a robust industrial base and an ever-increasing demand for commercial transportation.
