Kuwait tire market was valued USD 0.85 Billion in 2019 and is projected to be valued USD 1.19 Billion by 2025. Anticipated growth in automobile and tire sales is being supported by rising disposable income levels, increasing urbanization, and growing infrastructure and construction sectors in the country. Moreover, replacement demand for tires in the country is mainly addressed through imports, due to absence of domestic tire manufacturing facilities in the country. Kuwait mainly imports tires from Japan, China, South Korea, Thailand, India, US, Germany and Brazil. With favourable government policies and construction projects like Kuwait International Airport Expansion, Kuwait National Rail network expansion, Jahra Road development and Kuwait National Railroad, Kuwait tire market is poised to witness a significant growth over the next five years.

Kuwait tire market is segmented based on vehicle type, demand category, radial vs bias and region. Based on tire type, the market can be segmented into radial vs bias. Among the two, the demand for radial tires is expected to undergo highest growth during the forecast period due to their advantages, such as flexible sidewalls and reduced fuel consumption due to less vibration and resistance over other counterparts.

Major companies operating in Kuwait tire market are Bridgestone Tire Distribution Co. W.L.L, Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd., Michelin UAE, Goodyear Middle East FZE, Hankook Tire Co. Ltd., Continental AG, Sumitomo Rubber Middle East FZE, Pirelli Tyre(Suisse) SA (Middle East Branch), Toyo Tire & Rubber Co., LTD. and Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co. Ltd. (ZC Rubber), among others. Increasing penetration of low priced Chinese tire brands is projected to bite into the share of branded tires in the coming years. However, on the back of high consumer confidence and strong dealership network, premium tire companies are expected to maintain their dominance in Kuwait tire market during the forecast period. Key growth strategies being adopted by leading tire manufacturers are partnerships, collaborations, mergers & acquisitions and joint ventures.
