The OE and aftermarket segment include construction & mining, agriculture tractors, industrial equipment, others, Balers, self-propelled sprayers, and harvesters. This market does not cover equipment such as road rollers, teller handlers, container handlers, skidders, scrapers, and cranes. The global (OE) OTR tire market in terms of tonnage in 2026 is 1,293.8 thousand Ton and it is expected to reach 1,694.9 thousand tons in 2032 at a CAGR of 4.6%.

Recent tariff changes between the US and India during 2025–2026 are expected to impact OTR tire demand and create new opportunities for global players. For example, the US imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian imports from August 2025, which in some cases increased the total tariff burden to around 50%, making Indian tire exports more expensive and less competitive in the US market. This could impact on OE supply to equipment manufacturers and reduce aftermarket exports due to higher prices. However, in February 2026, after trade discussions, the US reduced tariffs on Indian goods to about 18%, which may help Indian tire companies regain some competitiveness. At the same time, higher tariffs on some imports into the US (for example, up to 35% on certain non-USMCA OTR and commercial tires from 2025) are encouraging OEMs and distributors to diversify sourcing toward countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, and domestic US suppliers, creating opportunities for new suppliers to enter the market. In India, import duties on OTR tires remain around 10% basic customs duty plus surcharge, which protects domestic manufacturers and supports local OE supply growth.

31-70 HP tractors hold the largest market share for OTR tires.

31–70 HP tractors dominate the OTR tires market. The market share for 31-70 HP tractors is more than 80% in the Asia Pacific region, with China, India, and Japan contributing most of the demand. Further, North America, including the US and Canada, is witnessing high demand for 31-70 HP tractors. The demand for 31–70 HP tractors is highest because most farms are small (around 1–3 hectares) and farmers prefer tractors that balance price, fuel efficiency, and multi-purpose use. For instance, in India the 31–50 HP tractor segment alone accounts for about 46% of total tractor market share, showing strong dominance of mid-power tractors due to their suitability for farming and haulage work. At the same time, retail sales data from January 2026 shows tractors below 50 HP sold more than 1,11,000 units compared to 1,980 units above 50 HP, confirming that lower and mid-HP tractors drive most demand. They usually have different tire sizes at the front and rear axles. The front axle is generally offered with a range of 11.2-28 to 13.6-28-inch OTR tires, whereas 12.4-28 to 16.9- 28-inch OTR tires are provided in the rear axle. In the Asia Pacific region, the demand for bias OTR tires is more than 65% due to the price-conscious market, which is shifting slowly toward radial OTR tires. In North America, the OTR tires offered are mostly radial tires with extended warranties and are primarily used in cattle farming, turf applications, and farm fields.

Backhoe loader is the fastest-growing equipment type segment of the OTR tires market.

Backhoe loader tires are expected to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The demand for backhoe loader tire is mainly found in Asia Pacific region that too in India as ~70-80% backhoe loader sold are in India out of total backhoe loader sales in the world. According to the Indian Construction Equipment Manufacturers’ Association (ICEMA) FY 2025 report (May 2025), India sold about 53,133 backhoe loaders, accounting for about 54% of all earthmoving equipment sales, showing how important this machine is for infrastructure projects, which directly increases OE demand for OTR tires and later replacement demand due to heavy usage. Most of the backhoe loaders sold in Europe, Americas and Asia Pacific are equipped with bias tires. Bias tires are more resistant to sidewall cuts making them ideal for backhoe loaders, wheel loaders and motor graders. Additionally, they are suitable for stationery and low-speed heavy-lifting applications.

 The 12.5/80-R18 (Front), 16.9-R28 (Rear), 16/70 - 20 (Front), 16.9 - 28 (rear) across all regions. For the backhoe loader tire sizes across all regions almost remain the same. The typical rim sizes for backhoe loader tires range from 25 to 30 inches, which are standard for medium to large machinery used in construction projects. Additionally, the OEMs are actively showcasing and commercializing the new OTR tires for the backhoe loaders due to the increase in demand for construction and mining activities in the Asia Pacific region. For example, in October 2025 Bridgestone launched VH-IND agro-industrial radial tire designed specifically for machines such as backhoe loaders and telehandlers. The tire was introduced first in size 460/70R24 (a common backhoe loader size). Thus, with growing sales of backhoe loaders in the Asia Pacific, along with developments in backhoe loader tires are expected to drive the demand for the backhoe loader tire market.

North America is the second-largest regional-level OTR tires market.

The OTR tires market in North America is growing due to robust mining and construction activities, government investments in infrastructure, and the growing agriculture industry. According to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) 2025 reports, the US and Canada continue to see strong demand for construction equipment due to infrastructure programs such as the US Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which is funding roads, bridges, and utilities and increasing the use of loaders, dump trucks, and excavators directly driving OE and replacement demand for OTR tires. In addition, the US Geological Survey (USGS) 2025 mineral commodity summaries show continued strong mining output (for copper, iron ore, and aggregates), which increases demand for large radial mining tires because these operations run equipment continuously and require frequent tire replacement. Another key factor is the strong equipment rental market in North America, highlighted by the American Rental Association (ARA) 2025 outlook, which notes continued growth in construction equipment rentals rental fleets typically have higher tire wear, increasing aftermarket demand.

In the US, the demand and sales for skid-steer loaders, RTLT-Telescopes, and wheel loaders are high, and they are used in the construction and mining industries. The new US tariffs, announced on April 10, 2025, will significantly benefit the US local OTR tire manufacturers. According to the White House fact sheet, the tariffs have increased for importing OTR tires, effectively increasing the cost of foreign-made tires and creating a more favorable market environment for domestic manufacturers. This protectionist measure has led to a 15% increase in domestic OTR tire production, where the major key players (Goodyear and Titan International) will benefit from domestic manufacturing.
