DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 2025--
The 'Latin America & Caribbean Automotive Tire Market Size and Share Analysis - Growth Trends and Forecast Report 2025-2033" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Latin America & Caribbean Automotive Tire Market is valued at USD 4.08 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 5.56 billion by 2033, growing at 3.51% CAGR from 2025 to 2033. Increasing demand for commercial and passenger vehicles, growing transportation infrastructure, and rising ownership of vehicles in developing economies across the region are driving the market.
In Latin America & the Caribbean, auto tires are on the rise owing to higher ownership of vehicles, increasing road networks, and rising middle class. Tires are used for varied transportation purposes across urban and rural areas, ranging from passenger cars and motorcycles to buses and commercial vehicles. The market comprises original equipment tires for new vehicles as well as replacement tires for vehicles already in service.
With mobility rising and tourism booming in island nations and mainland states, the market for affordable and trustworthy tires has also seen a spike. The use of all-terrain and environmentally friendly tire models is also increasing, which shows consumer preference for durability, fuel efficiency, and eco-friendliness in the region.
Latin America & Caribbean Automotive Tire Market Growth Drivers
Growing Automotive Fleet and Increasing Vehicle Ownership
Growing demand for personal and commercial vehicles is driving tire consumption in Latin America & the Caribbean. Increased disposable incomes, urbanization, and enhanced road infrastructure have spurred increased vehicle ownership levels in Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. As the region continues to experience steady growth in new vehicle sales, there is a parallel increase in demand for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tires and replacement tires.
The market for used cars is also growing, further increasing the demand for cost-effective, long-lasting replacement tires in urban and rural regions. Jun 2024, The International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) states that New vehicle registrations in Latin America rose by 7.65% in 2023, reaching 5.35 million cars. The main contributors were Brazil, at 2.30 million registrations (43%), and Mexico, at 1.41 million (27%), accounting for a combined 70% of the region's total.
Expansion of E-commerce and Tire Retail Channels
The development of digital platforms and e-commerce has revolutionized the tire retail environment in the region. Customers are now able to access a range of tire brands and specifications through online marketplaces, ensuring competitive prices and increased convenience. This change in purchasing behavior, combined with higher internet penetration, is enabling the uptake of technologically superior tires.
The increasing trend of buying tires online also prompts manufacturers and distributors to invest in digital infrastructure and last-mile delivery networks, particularly in rural or underserved markets. Nov. 2022,L Catterton, the world's largest consumer-focused private equity firm, said its Latin America fund will invest heavily in CantuStore, Brazil's largest omnichannel aftermarket tire retailer and distributor. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Demand for Fuel-Efficient and All-Terrain Tires
Increased fuel prices and poor road conditions in the region have increased demand for high-performance, fuel-efficient, and all-terrain tires. Consumers demand durable tires that perform in varying conditions - from hilly roads in Colombia to seaside roads in the Caribbean. The emphasis on environmental driving also spurs demand for low-rolling-resistance tires, which improve fuel efficiency. Tire manufacturers are reacting by introducing new products customized to local needs, further driving adoption in the personal and commercial vehicle markets.
August 2024, The Latin Auto Parts Expo & Latin American Caribbean Tyre (Latin Tyre Expo) opened its doors at the Amador Convention Center in Panama. Prinx Chengshan presented its high-performance products, namely Prinx, Chengshan, Austone, and Fortune. The expo put a spotlight on the company's technology innovations in commercial, passenger, and special tyres, drawing an encouraging response for its performance products and quality services.
Challenges in the Latin America & Caribbean Automotive Tire Market
Economic Instability and Currency Fluctuations
Most of the nations in the region experience macroeconomic instability, such as high inflation, political instability, and exchange rate volatility. These conditions heavily influence tire import prices, raw material costs, and consumer purchasing power. Consequently, price-conscious customers tend to postpone tire replacement or switch to lower-quality products, affecting revenue for premium tire manufacturers. In addition, currency devaluation in countries such as Argentina and Venezuela has hindered manufacturers from establishing stable pricing and profitability.
Dependence on Imports and Limited Local Manufacturing
The area heavily depends on tire imports, particularly high-end or niche segments including electric vehicle tires and run-flat tires. There is limited domestic manufacturing capacity, which generates longer lead times and higher prices. Tariffs, import charges, and logistics issues also impede the supply chain, particularly in island countries such as Cuba and the Dominican Republic. This excessive dependence on external suppliers also limits innovation and makes less diverse tire products unavailable to suit regional requirements.

Four islands, four approaches to Airbnb
Arnie Weissmann Of all the disrupters that have entered the travel industry so far in the 21st century, none has been as disruptive -- and ubiquitous -- as Airbnb. Hospitality companies that must adhere to strict local development guidelines and pay bed taxes have begged regulating jurisdictions to level the playing field by addressing unregulated vacation rentals. Communities that lost housing stock to Airbnb conversions have seen rents increase and the fabric of their neighborhoods thin. The residents of some cities blame the company for contributing to overtourism. Municipalities, even countries, have responded. This year Spain will implement regulations that include requiring that a permit be obtained before a property can become a vacation home. Oahu and New York have banned stays of less than 30 days. Amsterdam capped the number of nights a host can rent to 30 per year. Airbnb issues become more complicated for countries whose economies are tourism-dependent. This week was Caribbean Week, when tourism ministers and the heads of destination promotion bureaus descend on New York to raise awareness of their islands. In a series of back-to-back-to-back-to-back interviews with representatives of Caribbean islands, I found that they each looked at Airbnb's presence differently. Antigua and Barbuda was the most supportive of vacation rentals. "They are good for us," said the country's tourism minister, Max Fernandez. "We have seen a plethora of interest, and that means that a lot of people are getting involved in the industry. If you don't have people from all strata involved in tourism, especially in terms of ownership, then it's not sustainable, and sustainability is the key." To keep housing affordable as more properties convert to vacation rentals, Fernandez said the government is supporting a large-scale home-building initiative. "It's about creating a balance," he added. Airbnb serves another supportive role, Fernandez believes. "In economic downturns, the high-end is less likely to be affected. But at the same time, we believe that short-term rental properties like Airbnb can offer the kind of mix to make it balance out," he said. "That's the way we are looking at it." On Anguilla, vacation rentals are regulated for two reasons, tourism minister Cardigan Connor said. First, they are monitored to see if they meet required standards, and second, guest information is gathered to help keep track of where visitors are staying in case of a hurricane. "Anything that happens on the island is a responsibility of government," Connor said. "And as long as proprietors of the Airbnb properties understand that, then they know we're protecting each other as well as guests." St. Martin -- the French side of the island -- creates its balance by actively looking for unregistered vacation rentals but in some instances allowing them to operate in neighborhoods where they're not supposed to be. "We need 3,500 rooms," said St. Martin tourism minister Valerie Damaseau. "We see that there's a lot of purchasing of villas and vacation rental homes. They're listed [on Airbnb's platform] but are registered to us as their personal home. We know that some are not fully paying their taxes. "So we have several teams that visit these sites; they're just going to show up," she continued. "The situation exists, and we want to structure it. We don't want visitors who stay in these properties to say that they're not good, so we can assist the homeowner to make sure that the product is as renovated as possible and that it has the amenities that everyone is seeking." Many of the St. Martin vacation rentals are in areas where they're forbidden to be, but Damaseau is not shutting them down. "We're working on some text to try to regulate them," she said. "We need those rooms to bring [the island inventory] up to 3,500. We shut our eyes because those extra rooms have saved us over the years. We'll tighten the screws a little, but we need to find the right balance." "Villas are a tricky one," said Turks and Caicos tourism minister Zhavargo Jolly. "It's a catch-22. We're a high-end luxury destination, but we get six or seven people staying in a villa because it's less expensive than six or seven hotel rooms. But then they can't afford the amenities that generate the [per person] revenue we expect. And they complain about the affordability of the island." Paul Pennicook, CEO of Experience Turks & Caicos, added that it's one reason they are focusing on the travel trade, which doesn't typically attract the same clients as Airbnb. "Also, with the Airbnb scenario, we're not ever sure that everyone is paying their fair share of taxes. But I had a discussion with Airbnb and got a commitment that they were willing to collect taxes for us," he said. "But they're not prepared to give us the details about who they collected the taxes from; they'll just send a lump sum. My attitude is: just take the money."
