EV-ready premium tire segment is expected to account for a major market share in 2025–2026
EV-ready premium tires are expected to hold a major market share in 2025–2026, primarily due to the accelerating electrification of the automotive industry, increasing demand for low rolling resistance tires, and growing emphasis on sustainable and high-performance mobility solutions in Europe. These tires are specifically designed to support electric vehicles by improving energy efficiency, extending driving range, and reducing environmental impact through advanced material technologies. Michelin has reinforced its strategic focus on high-value and EV-ready tire segments in Europe during 2025–2026, with an emphasis on premium, low-rolling-resistance, and sustainable material-based tire solutions. Rising EV adoption and shifting consumer preference toward efficient and eco-friendly mobility solutions are expected to significantly support segment growth.
European replacement tire market contraction segment is expected to account for a major market share in 2025
European replacement tire market contraction is expected to influence a major share of market dynamics in 2025 due to weakening consumer demand, macroeconomic uncertainty, and geopolitical pressures impacting automotive aftermarket sales. The market has experienced a decline in multiple tire categories, reflecting reduced replacement demand across passenger and commercial vehicle segments. According to the European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA), the consumer tire segment recorded a 4% year-on-year decline in Q2 2025, with notable drops in summer and all-season tire sales, indicating ongoing market softness in the region. The continued weak demand environment highlights broader challenges in the European automotive aftermarket, where inflationary pressures and reduced consumer spending are affecting replacement cycles.
Specialized tire segment mix shift (winter and all-season tires) is expected to account for a major market share in 2025–2026
Specialized tire segments, including winter and all-season tires, are expected to hold a major market share in 2025–2026 due to shifting consumer preferences and changing climatic conditions across Europe. While overall tire demand has declined, certain segments such as winter and all-season tires have shown relative resilience driven by seasonal demand patterns and safety considerations. ETRMA data indicates a 9% increase in winter tire demand in Q2 2025, despite broader declines in the overall consumer tire market. This divergence highlights a structural shift in replacement tire consumption patterns toward more adaptable and safety-focused tire categories, supporting long-term segment stability within a challenging market environment.
