Africa OTR Tire Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.58% through 2030

Expansion in mining and infrastructure activities, increasing agricultural mechanization, and rising demand for replacement tires across industrial fleets are the factors driving the market in the forecast period 2026–2030.     


According to TechSci Research report, “Africa OTR Tire Market – Country, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, Africa OTR Tire Market was valued at USD 1.02 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1.50 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.58% during the forecast period. The African OTR tire market is evolving in response to growing demand from sectors that rely on heavy-duty vehicles, such as mining, agriculture, and industrial logistics. Increased investments in mechanized operations and transport infrastructure are generating continuous need for robust tire solutions capable of handling rough terrains and intense workloads. Agricultural transformation and rising construction projects contribute further to demand.

The market is experiencing notable shifts with the introduction of new tire technologies. Radial tires are replacing older designs in several applications, offering improved efficiency and durability. There is a clear move toward digital solutions, with embedded sensors and fleet management platforms enhancing tire performance monitoring. Energy-saving tires and eco-friendly raw materials are increasingly emphasized, aligning with broader sustainability and cost-control objectives.

However, the sector is challenged by operational and structural limitations. Import reliance, unstable material prices, and a lack of harmonized technical standards across African markets complicate growth. Skill gaps in advanced servicing and limited awareness of tire lifecycle cost also restrict long-term value realization.

Africa OTR Tire Market is Segmented By Vehicle Type, By Demand Category, By Type, and By Country.

Mining equipment represents an important segment where tires are used on haul trucks, loaders, and drilling machines operating in demanding environments. These tires are designed for durability, resistance to cuts, and the ability to withstand heavy loads across challenging terrains. Industrial equipment also forms a key category, encompassing forklifts, port handling machines, and material transport vehicles used in logistics hubs, factories, and construction sites. The rising expansion of warehousing and infrastructure projects continues to create demand for specialized tires suited to high-capacity and continuous operations.

Agriculture vehicles represent another crucial segment, with tractors, harvesters, and irrigation equipment depending on OTR tires that perform well in both soft soils and rugged fields. The shift toward mechanization across farming regions is expanding tire usage for various agricultural machines, supporting higher productivity. ATVs are gaining traction as they are used for farming support, recreational purposes, and patrolling in areas with rough terrain. Their tire demand is shaped by the need for balance between grip and maneuverability on diverse surfaces. Other categories include military and specialized off-road vehicles that require tires built for resilience under harsh conditions and unpredictable usage. Each of these vehicle types relies on tire solutions engineered for performance, safety, and efficiency, reflecting the wide scope of demand in Africa’s OTR tire industry across sectors that depend on reliable mobility in demanding environments.

In Egypt, demand for OTR tires is supported by the expansion of infrastructure, energy, and industrial sectors. The government’s continued investment in new road networks, ports, and large-scale construction projects has encouraged the deployment of heavy-duty machinery, creating steady requirements for reliable off-road tires. Mining activity, though smaller compared to some other African nations, is gradually expanding with exploration projects, adding to equipment utilization across quarrying and mineral extraction. Agriculture also plays a central role, with increased mechanization of farming contributing to tractor and harvester tire demand. The drive to modernize agricultural practices, coupled with rising food production needs, is pushing farmers to adopt durable machinery supported by OTR tires that can handle variable soil conditions and long hours of operation.
