New energy vehicles are rewriting what China's domestic tire buyers pay for
Domestic tire sales in China reached USD 30.85 Billion in 2025, and Radial Insights expects USD 32.19 Billion in 2026 and USD 47.23 Billion by 2035, a compound annual growth rate of 4.35% over 2025-2035.
China builds more tires than any other country. The National Bureau of Statistics counted 1.207 billion tires produced in 2025, of which 684 million were passenger car radials and 149 million truck and bus radials. Yet more than half of the country's auto tire output leaves the country: customs data compiled by the China Rubber Industry Association show 702 million new pneumatic tires exported in 2025, worth RMB 161.1 billion. This report values only the tires that are bought and fitted inside mainland China, at manufacturer selling prices, through vehicle-maker (OEM) lines and the replacement trade.
Scope covers passenger car, light commercial vehicle, truck and bus, two-wheeler and off-the-road tires, in radial and bias construction. Exports, retreaded casings, inner tubes, rims, bicycle tires and fitting labor sit outside the figures. Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan are also excluded.
Two numbers explain the forecast. China sold 34.40 million vehicles in 2025, with new energy vehicles (NEVs) at 16.49 million, and the parc reached 366 million automobiles by year end. Each NEV leaves the factory on heavier-load, larger-rim, low-noise tires that sell at a clear premium, so NEV tires are the fastest segment at 9.85% a year. Above 18 inch fitments follow at 8.40%.
By geography, East China remains the largest buying region, while Southwest and Northwest China grow fastest at 4.95%, helped by new car plants in Chongqing, Chengdu and Xi'an and by long-haul freight on western corridors.

Passenger car tires lead, and off-the-road tires carry the second-fastest vehicle-type rate
Passenger car tires are the largest vehicle-type segment because the automobile parc passed 366 million units at the end of 2025 and 26.19 million new automobiles were registered that year. Their 4.55% CAGR reflects price mix rather than unit growth: NBS output of passenger radials rose only 1.33% in 2025. Off-the-road tires grow at 4.70% as mining, port and infrastructure fleets replace bias sizes with radial OTR, a shift Sailun is backing with 20,000 tonnes of OTR capacity at its Shenyang expansion. Truck and bus tires grow at 3.85% after a strong 2025, when heavy truck sales rose 26% to 1.137 million units. Two-wheeler tires trail at 3.40% because most of China's 22.11 million motorcycles built in 2025 were exported.
Radial tires keep gaining while bias construction fades
Radial construction grows at 4.60% against 1.25% for bias. Bias tires survive in small agricultural, industrial and two-wheeler sizes, but freight operators have moved almost entirely to all-steel radials and rural buyers now favor light truck radials for fuel and casing life.
NEV tires post the steepest curve in the model
NEV tires grow at 9.85% a year. CAAM data put NEV sales at 16.49 million in 2025, up 28.2%, equal to roughly 47.9% of all vehicle sales. Battery weight raises load index needs, instant torque raises tread wear, and quiet cabins expose road noise, so carmakers specify foam-lined, high-load tires that sell well above standard fitments. Tires for combustion and conventional hybrid vehicles still form the larger installed base, yet grow at only 2.10% as that parc stops expanding.
Above 18 inch fitments pull ahead on SUV and premium EV demand
Tires above 18 inches grow at 8.40% as domestic brands such as BYD, Geely and Li Auto put 19 to 21 inch wheels on mid-priced SUVs. The 16 to 18 inch band grows at 4.05%, while below 16 inch sizes slow to 1.80% as small sedans lose share to crossovers.
OEM fitments outpace replacement for now
OEM demand grows at 4.75%, slightly ahead of replacement at 4.10%. In 2025 OEM auto tire volumes rose about 10.4% to roughly 179 million units, while replacement fell about 3% to 183 million. Replacement catches up later in the forecast as the large NEV fleet registered in 2023-2026 reaches its first tire change.

Market Dynamics
Market Trends
Domestic leaders are buying and rebuilding capacity at home
Chinese brands are using foreign exits to expand at home. In July 2025 Sailun bought Bridgestone's China commercial tire business, including the Shenyang TBR plant with 1.7 million units of annual capacity, for RMB 265 million. In September 2025 it broke ground on a RMB 1.70 billion upgrade that lifts the site to 3.3 million truck and bus tires plus 20,000 tonnes of OTR tires within 18 months.
Large greenfield plants move inland
New capacity is heading away from the coast. Linglong broke ground in March 2025 on a RMB 5.1 billion plant in Lu'an, Anhui, rated at 14 million radials a year (12 million passenger and light truck, 2 million truck and bus) plus 30,000 tonnes of tire recycling, with completion due by March 2029. Inland sites sit closer to new car plants in Anhui, Hubei and Sichuan.
Foreign brands deepen local supply rather than retreat
Michelin marked 30 years in Shenyang in September 2025, with cumulative investment above RMB 12.5 billion since 2010. Its Golden Wing project raises the site to 17.1 million tires a year, much of it aimed at EV and high-rim fitments for Chinese carmakers.
Trade defense abroad pushes volume back toward the home market
Export barriers are rising. The European Union adopted definitive anti-dumping duties of 4.3% to 45.3% on Chinese passenger and light truck tires in July 2026. Producers that lose European volume compete harder for Chinese replacement buyers, which keeps domestic pricing tight and speeds up investment in branded retail networks.
Restraints and Challenges
Overcapacity keeps domestic prices under pressure
China's tire plants built 1.207 billion units in 2025, according to the China Rubber Industry Association, while domestic auto tire demand was only about 362 million units. Any export shock spills straight into the home market, and Mysteel expects output to grow only about 1% in 2026, to more than 840 million TBR and PCR units.
Profit margins are thinning even as revenue grows
Sailun lifted 2025 revenue 15.69% to RMB 36.79 billion, yet net profit fell 13.3% to RMB 3.52 billion. Triangle's revenue dropped 3.3% to RMB 9.821 billion and profit fell 16.3%. Linglong's first-quarter 2026 profit slid on currency losses even as sales rose 6.33%. Lower margins limit spending on premium domestic branding.
Trade rules abroad add uncertainty
Duties imposed under Regulation (EU) 2026/1540 took effect in July 2026, and US Section 301 and anti-dumping duties remain in place even after the US Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs in February 2026. Planning for plant loading is harder when a third of output depends on foreign trade decisions.
Replacement demand softened in 2025
Replacement auto tire volumes fell about 3% in 2025 as price wars among dealers, longer-lasting radials and slower ride-hailing fleet growth cut purchase frequency. A further dip would slow the replacement CAGR below its 4.10% base case.
Growth Drivers
The NEV fleet changes tire specifications
CAAM reported 16.49 million NEV sales in 2025, up 28.2%, and expects about 19 million in 2026. Every BYD, Tesla Shanghai, Geely or Xiaomi electric car needs tires rated for higher load and torque, often with sound-absorbing foam and low rolling resistance compounds. Chinese suppliers such as ZC Rubber and Linglong now hold OE approvals on many of these platforms, and the price per tire runs well above a comparable combustion fitment. Radial Insights estimates that NEV specification mix adds about +1.4% of annual growth to the China tire market through 2035, the single largest driver in the model.
A record vehicle parc feeds the replacement cycle
The Ministry of Public Security counted 469 million motor vehicles and 366 million automobiles at the end of 2025, after 26.19 million new automobile registrations during the year. Most tires on the road are replaced every three to five years, so a parc of this size creates hundreds of millions of change events. Large NEV cohorts registered from 2023 onward start their first replacement cycle in 2026-2028, and their tires wear faster because of battery weight. This parc effect contributes roughly 1.1 percentage points to the annual market growth rate, and it lifts replacement from a weak 2025 back toward a 4.10% path.
Freight and infrastructure lift truck, bus and OTR demand
CAAM data show commercial vehicle sales of 4.296 million in 2025, up 10.9%, with heavy trucks at 1.137 million, up 26%, helped by fleet renewal incentives that retire old diesel trucks. Each new heavy truck takes 10 to 12 tires at the factory and two or three sets over its life. Sailun's Shenyang project, which doubles TBR capacity to 3.3 million units, shows how suppliers are betting on this demand. Truck, bus and OTR fitments add an estimated 0.8 points to the yearly CAGR, with OTR tires rising 4.70% a year.
Opportunities
Premium domestic brands can take share from imports
Chinese makers already supply many domestic NEV makers at OE. Moving those approvals into branded replacement sales, at prices close to Michelin or Bridgestone, would raise value per tire. ZC Rubber, with RMB 44.956 billion of 2025 revenue and 113 million units sold, has the scale to lead this shift.
Circular materials and recycling create added value
Linglong's Lu'an site includes 30,000 tonnes of tire recycling. Pairing new tire sales with casing collection, retreading and recovered carbon black gives fleet buyers lower cost per kilometer and helps suppliers meet carmaker carbon targets.
Recent Developments
In July 2026, the European Union adopted definitive anti-dumping duties of 4.3% to 45.3% on Chinese passenger car and light truck tires, in force from 8 July 2026.
In April 2026, ZC Rubber reported 2025 revenue of RMB 44.956 billion, up 14.52%, on sales of 113 million tires, and set out new overseas capacity plans in Thailand and Indonesia.
In March 2026, customs data showed China's January-February new pneumatic tire exports at 120.09 million units, up 12.1% year on year.
In February 2026, the US Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs, easing the reciprocal duties on Chinese tires while Section 301 and trade remedy duties stayed in place.
In September 2025, Sailun broke ground on a RMB 1.70 billion expansion of the former Bridgestone plant in Shenyang, targeting 3.3 million TBR tires and 20,000 tonnes of OTR tires a year.
In March 2025, Linglong began building a RMB 5.1 billion plant in Lu'an, Anhui, with capacity for 14 million radial tires a year.
Domestic groups lead on volume, and foreign brands defend the premium end
The China tire market is crowded, with hundreds of plants, yet the top domestic groups have pulled away. ZC Rubber, Sailun and Linglong together sold about 285 million tires worldwide in 2025, and foreign makers keep the highest-priced fitments on German and Japanese brand cars built in China.
National champions with scale
Zhongce Rubber Group (ZC Rubber) is the largest Chinese producer, with 2025 revenue of RMB 44.956 billion and brands such as Chaoyang and Westlake that cover car, truck and two-wheeler tires. Sailun Group, with RMB 36.79 billion of revenue, is known for its liquid-phase mixed EcoPoint3 compound and is now adding truck capacity in Shenyang. Shandong Linglong Tyre earned RMB 24.642 billion and holds OE approvals with many domestic and foreign carmakers.
Specialist and state-backed producers
Triangle Tyre, based in Weihai, focuses on truck, bus and giant OTR radials and earned RMB 9.821 billion in 2025. Guizhou Tyre and Aeolus Tyre serve mining, construction and heavy truck users in western and central provinces. Double Coin Holdings, under Shanghai Huayi, supplies truck radials, and Prinx Chengshan and Sentury Tire compete in passenger and light truck replacement.
Global brands with local plants
Michelin runs its Shenyang base, now on track for 17.1 million tires a year, and leads premium replacement and NEV fitments. Bridgestone sold its China truck tire unit to Sailun in 2025 but keeps passenger car sales. Continental produces in Hefei, Goodyear in Pulandian, and Hankook Tire & Technology and Giti Tire run large plants in Jiangsu and Anhui.
How buyers choose
OE buyers rank cost, delivery reliability and NEV-specific performance. Replacement buyers in large cities pay more for global brands, while fleets and lower-tier cities favor domestic radials with strong dealer support and casing warranties.

Primary Interview Insights
What do NEV makers demand from tire suppliers?
Purchasing managers at two domestic NEV makers told us load index, noise and range are now scored ahead of price. Both said suppliers that cannot deliver foam-lined tires within six months of a platform launch lose the award.
How did the 2025 replacement slowdown affect dealers?
Dealers in Jiangsu and Guangdong said volume fell but average ticket rose as owners moved to 19 inch sizes. Several now carry fewer brands and push higher-margin domestic premium lines.
How are truck fleets choosing tires after the renewal program?
Logistics fleets told us new heavy trucks arrive on all-steel radials from domestic brands, and buyers judge suppliers on cost per kilometer and casing warranties. Retreading is rising among larger fleets.
How do export duties change domestic strategy?
Two mid-sized producers in Shandong said EU duties pushed them to shift capacity toward domestic replacement and to Southeast Asian plants. They expect tighter price competition at home in 2026-2027.
What cost risks worry suppliers most?
Compounders pointed to natural rubber, butadiene and carbon black prices plus currency swings. They said steady raw material costs are needed to protect margins already squeezed in 2025.
