Tire Recycling Downstream Products Market, By Technique (Shredding and Pyrolysis), By Type (Light Vehicles, Heavy Vehicles, and Others), By Application (Fuel, Aggregates, Mulch, Powder, and Others), By End-User (Building & Construction, Paper & Pulp Industry, Heavy Industries, and Others) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America) — Industry Trends and Forecast to 2030

The Global Tire Recycling Downstream Products Market has been estimated to reach a value of USD 4.1 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.15% during the forecast period from 2021-2030. The growing awareness about the environmental benefits from tire recycling, new recycled products, and industrial fuels & materials derived from tire recycling will drive the market during the analysis period. The tire recycling process involves the conversion of discarded or end-of-life tires into useful industrial materials. Other significant factors in driving the market are technological advancements and sustainable industry practices.

The landfill disposal of tires can trap methane gas and result in safety & health issues, tire fires, and diseases. Hence, rising issues related to landfills are increasing the demand for recycling techniques. Various methods are adopted for tire recycling, including pyrolysis, which involves the heating of tire shreds in an oxygen-free reactor vessel. Cryogenic recycling, on the other hand, is done by freezing tires using super-cold liquids or cryogens and turning them into rubber crumbs, and then repurposing the old tires into swings in playgrounds, sports, and other building products. However, the most common technique used is shredding, which has a huge impact on market growth.

The automobile industry and rising applications of tire-derived products in various industries for fuel, binding material, or others, will boost the market growth. Furthermore, increasing research & development and technological innovations will enhance the growth of the market for tire recycling. For instance, Oregon-based Malarkey Roofing products incorporated tire shreds into sustainable roofs. In another instance, Renegade Rumble Strip by Rubbererosion got approval from the Colorado Department of Transportation (C-DOT). The product has the ability to control the mud sediment in construction sites. Such developments will provide a major stimulus to market growth.

Tire Recycling Downstream Products Market

Global Tire Recycling Downstream Market, By Technique

Based on technique, the tire recycling downstream market is divided into shredding and pyrolysis. Shredding is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Tire shredding machines use old tires and convert them into a tire-derived aggregate (TDA). TDA has a wide variety of applications in civil constructions like back-fill, retaining walls, vibration material for railway lines, and other road repair projects. Therefore, the tire-derived aggregate will drive the growth of the shredding technique. Moreover, the on-site shredding technique for tires can be cost-effective for cover material or backfill. However, the initial costs of shredding machines can be high, which can restrain the market. 

The pyrolysis technique will also have a significant impact on market growth. This technique involves the recycling of shredded tires by heating them into a reactor vessel in an oxygen-free atmosphere. In this method, the vapor produced is used as a fuel to generate power for the industrial processes. Tire pyrolysis is a clean procedure that produces low emissions and hence, will drive market growth.

Global Tire Recycling Downstream Market, By Type

Based on the type, the tire recycling downstream market is segmented into light vehicles, heavy vehicles, and others. Light vehicle tires are expected to grow significantly during the analysis period. It includes passenger car tires and motorbike tires. The growing demand in the automobile industry will have a significant impact on tire industry processes, which in turn, will impact the tire recycling downstream market. Hence, the rising number of stranded vehicles and waste tires will improve market demand.

The heavy vehicle tires include pickup truck tires, lorry/truck tires, and off-the-road tires. Other tires include bicycle tires and airplane tires. Heavy vehicle tires will affect the market growth in a positive manner. The rising number of heavy vehicles for logistics and transportation of goods will have a positive impact on market growth during the analysis period.

Global Tire Recycling Downstream Products Market, By Application

Based on application, the tire recycling downstream market is divided into fuel, aggregates, mulch, powder, and others. The powder and mulch segments are expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The industrial applications of tire powder or rubber powder include seals, vibration panels, and insulating boards. The mulch or rubber mulch is used in landscaping and gardens. The mixing ability of rubber powder with resin, asphalt, and other raw materials will drive the market significantly. Furthermore, rubber powder is a cost-effective alternative to asphalt.

The growing demand for tire-derived fuel for cement industries will boost the tire recycling downstream market. The other advantages for the cement industry include saving fuel costs, and no odour, smoke, and other emissions. This will support the market during the forecast period. Hence, growing industrial applications for tire-derived products will boost the market growth.

Global Tire Recycling Downstream Products Market, By End-User

Based on end-user, the market is segmented into building construction, paper & pulp industry, heavy engineering, and others. The building construction segment is expected to lead the market during the analysis period. The rising tire-derived product application in the cement industry will drive the market for the building construction segment. Furthermore, mixing concrete with rubber aggregates is eco-friendly with good material properties. Other building constructions using tire-derived products include sports complexes, playgrounds, and road repairing projects, which will drive the market.

Global Tire Recycling Downstream Products Market, By Region

Based on regions, the global tire recycling downstream market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. Asia Pacific and Europe are expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. The growing awareness about the impact of tire recycling on the environment will drive the market in the Asia Pacific region. Furthermore, the growing automobile industry, a huge amount of tire scrap generated annually, and landfill issues will promote the growth of the market in this region.

The European tire recycling industry is being driven by the increasing adoption of recycling techniques and the presence of organized channels for the same. The growing awareness related to reducing carbon emissions in this region will further promote market development in Europe.
