 Premium and prestige tires have long been a market segment of above-average global tire market performance. Despite current and near-term setbacks due to COVID-19 and associated reductions in economic activity, motor vehicle sales and use, the long-term trend towards premium, luxury, and higher performance tires remains fundamentally strong.

After a significant dip in 2020, global tire demand from the premium and prestige segment is expected to reach a market value of $50.8 billion in 2025, growing 7.7% per year from the 2020 trough. Premium tire materials and technology trends are evolving along with this market segment, driven by increasingly demanding OEMs, end users and regulators, as well as by the intensified R&D and capital investments of tire manufacturers and their suppliers attracted by higher margins and market growth.
