Traction resins and bio-attributed grades are lifting tire resin demand faster than tire output itself
Valued at USD 1.86 Billion in 2025, the global tire resins market is set to reach USD 1.96 Billion in 2026 and USD 3.06 Billion by 2035, a 5.12% CAGR. Radial Insights expects resin loadings per tire to keep rising even in years when tire volumes are flat, because tread chemists use resins to buy wet grip without giving up rolling resistance.
This study covers resins compounded into tire rubber: hydrocarbon resins (C5, C9, C5/C9 and DCPD grades), alpha-methylstyrene and terpene resins used as traction modifiers, phenolic tackifying resins, phenolic and novolac reinforcing resins, and resorcinol-based adhesion resins used in cord bonding. We exclude resins sold for adhesives, coatings and inks, liquid polymers such as liquid polybutadiene, and process oils, which are tracked in a separate Radial Insights study.
The Tire Resins market grows on three forces. EU Regulation 2020/740 grades every tire sold in Europe on wet grip, so premium brands chase an A or B class. Electric vehicles need low rolling resistance and high torque grip at the same time. And tire makers now ask suppliers for ISCC PLUS mass-balance and bio-based grades, which carry a price premium of their own.
Bio-Based and Mass-Balance Resins are the fastest-growing segment at 9.84% a year, while Asia Pacific (APAC) is the fastest-growing region at 5.68%, backed by tire capacity in China, Thailand, Vietnam, India and Indonesia. Traction and Wet Grip Resins, at 6.71%, lead the function split.
Supply is the main swing factor. Synthomer has warned that its European hydrocarbon resin supply depends on Dow's Boehlen cracker, scheduled to close in Q4 2027, and Sumitomo Bakelite will wind down its Kenton, Ohio phenolic plant from September 2027. Resin users that qualify second sources early will hold an edge through the forecast.

Hydrocarbon resins remain the volume anchor, terpene grades grow fastest by type
Hydrocarbon resins, led by C5, C9 and DCPD grades from ExxonMobil, Synthomer, Zeon and Kolon Industries, are the default choice for tread compounds and grow at 5.46%. Terpene and rosin-based resins expand at 6.38% because Kraton's SYLVATRAXX and DRT's plant-based grades give tread designers both grip and a renewable-content claim. Resorcinol-based resins trail at 2.94% as resorcinol's EU substance of very high concern listing pushes tire makers toward resorcinol-free bonding systems such as SI Group's ELAZTOBOND line.
Grip chemistry beats tack and stiffness in the function split
Traction and wet grip resins grow at 6.71% as EU label targets and EV torque push resin loadings up in summer, all-season and UHP treads. Tackifying resins, at 4.36%, track green tire building volumes closely. Reinforcing resins, at 4.05%, follow bead filler and apex demand, while adhesion promoters, at 3.48%, are capped by the shift to lower-resorcinol bonding packages.
Two-wheeler and SUV tires lead the tire type split
Two-wheeler tires grow at 5.92% on scooter and motorcycle output in India and Southeast Asia. Light truck and SUV tires grow at 5.64% because larger rim sizes and heavier EVs need more tread compound per tire. Passenger car tires, the largest outlet, grow at 5.38%. Truck and bus tires, at 4.47%, and off-the-road tires, at 4.21%, use less traction resin and follow freight and mining cycles.
Mass-balance grades command the fastest growth by feedstock
Bio-based and mass-balance resins grow at 9.84% from a small base as Continental, Michelin and Bridgestone lift renewable and recycled material targets. Petroleum-based resins still supply most volume but grow at 4.36%.
Direct supply wins the global accounts
Direct supply to tire makers grows at 5.21% because resin grades are co-developed and qualified for each compound. Distributors and compounders grow at 4.68%, serving retreaders, regional tire plants and inner tube makers.

Market Dynamics
Market Trends
Certified mass-balance supply moves from pilot to plant scale
Tire resin suppliers are certifying whole sites. Kraton's Niort plant in France received ISCC PLUS certification in March 2025 for alpha-methylstyrene and AMS-phenolic resins sold under the SYLVARES and SYLVATRAXX names, and its Panama City, Florida plant followed in January 2026 for biobased polyterpene resins, making it the company's fourth certified pine chemicals site. Radial Insights expects most tire makers to ask for certified options in new tread programs by 2028.
Bio-attributed resins reach European tire plants
In September 2025, TotalEnergies' Cray Valley affiliate began supplying Continental's European tire plants with Cleartack tackifying resin and Ricon liquid polybutadiene made at Carling, France, from ISCC PLUS vegetable or used cooking oil feedstock. This is one of the first named supply deals for bio-attributed tackifiers in volume tire production.
Pine chemistry changes hands
Ingevity agreed in September 2025 to sell its North Charleston crude tall oil refinery and most of its Industrial Specialties line to Mainstream Pine Products for up to USD 129 Million, and completed the sale in January 2026. Tall oil rosin and terpene streams feed several tire tackifiers, so buyers are reviewing contracts and qualification files with the new owner.
Tyre abrasion rules add a new compounding target
Euro 7 brings tyre abrasion limits, with first application for C1 passenger tyres from July 2028. In March 2026, nine NGOs led by ECOS wrote to the UNECE GRBP working party on the abrasion test method. Resin systems that hold grip while cutting wear will gain share in tread recipes as the method is finalized.
Restraints and Challenges
European cracker closures threaten C5 and C9 feedstock
Synthomer said in its August 2025 half-year report that its European hydrocarbon resin supply relies on Dow's Boehlen site, scheduled to close in Q4 2027. Tire makers in Europe face a period of requalification, and some C9 and C5 grades may need to be imported from Asia or the US Gulf Coast, adding freight and lead time.
Formaldehyde and resorcinol rules weigh on phenolic and adhesion resins
Phenolic tackifiers and resorcinol-formaldehyde bonding systems face rising scrutiny. The US EPA found in January 2025 that formaldehyde presents unreasonable risk to workers and consumers and issued an updated draft risk calculation memo in December 2025, as set out on the EPA TSCA formaldehyde page. In Europe, the REACH formaldehyde emission restriction under Regulation (EU) 2023/1464 applies to articles from August 2026.
Phenolic plant closures tighten US supply
Sumitomo Bakelite plans to close the Durez phenolic resin plant in Kenton, Ohio, with production winding down product by product from September 2027. US tire plants that buy novolac reinforcing resins will need to qualify alternatives within roughly two years.
Soft tire volumes cap near-term demand
Michelin reported FY2025 sales of EUR 26.0 Billion with tire volumes down 4.7%, and guided its 2026 passenger and truck markets between minus 2% and plus 2%. USTMA put 2025 US tire shipments at about 336.3 million units and expects a 1.8% decline in 2026. Resin growth in that setting depends on higher loadings per tire rather than more tires.
Growth Drivers
EU wet grip labelling rewards resin-rich treads
Every passenger, light truck and truck tire sold in the EU carries a wet grip class under Regulation (EU) 2020/740, which is also listed in the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling. Premium brands from Michelin, Continental and Pirelli compete for A and B ratings, and the fastest route to a higher class without hurting rolling resistance is a silica tread with traction resin at higher phr levels. Tyres Europe data show all-season replacement sell-in rose 5% in 2025 while summer fell 7%, and all-season compounds tend to carry more traction resin to balance wet and winter grip. Radial Insights estimates this driver adds about +1.4% of annual growth to the Tire Resins market through 2035, as label pressure spreads to Asian exporters selling into Europe and to markets copying the EU scheme.
Electric vehicles raise grip and wear demands per tire
EVs combine instant torque, heavier curb weights and a need for low rolling resistance. Continental's 2025 annual report shows global light vehicle production up 4% to 92.4 million units, with the EV share rising, and Michelin reported passenger OE volumes up 2% in 2025. EV fitments use larger rim sizes, so each tire carries more tread compound and more resin. Kolon Industries invested KRW 24 Billion to roughly double high-purity aromatic petroleum resin output at Yeosu specifically for high-performance and EV tires. We put this driver's contribution at roughly +1.1 points of yearly market growth, concentrated in APAC and Europe where EV output is highest.
Sustainable material targets create a premium resin tier
Tire makers have public goals for renewable and recycled content, and resins are one of the easiest compound ingredients to switch. Kraton certified two sites in March 2025 and January 2026, TotalEnergies Cray Valley started supplying Continental with bio-attributed Cleartack in September 2025, and DRT markets rosin and terpene resins made from pine. Synthomer reported that its tyre business had a robust FY2025, with Adhesive Solutions EBITDA rising to GBP 66.0 Million from GBP 47.9 Million. Because certified grades sell at a premium and grow at 9.84% a year, this driver lifts value growth by close to 0.9% annually, even where total resin tonnage stays flat.
Opportunities
Resorcinol-free bonding systems
With resorcinol on the EU Candidate List and formaldehyde under review in the US and EU, suppliers that offer drop-in bonding resins without resorcinol, such as SI Group's ELAZTOBOND B8-3410, can win steel cord and textile cord programs as tire plants renew their adhesion packages.
Second-source supply for European tire plants
The planned closure of Dow's Boehlen cracker in late 2027 opens a window for Asian and US resin makers, including ExxonMobil, Zeon and Kolon Industries, to qualify grades at European tire plants before existing contracts run out.
Asia Pacific holds over half of tire resin demand and grows fastest
Tire resin demand follows tire production, which is concentrated in Asia, with Europe and North America buying more premium traction grades per tire.
Asia Pacific (APAC)
Asia Pacific (APAC) held a 52.40% share of the Tire Resins market in 2025, worth about USD 974.64 Million, and is projected to reach USD 1,693.45 Million by 2035 at a 5.68% CAGR. China, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia host most new radial capacity, and Kolon Industries' Yeosu expansion and Zeon's C5 resin output in Japan supply much of the regional demand. India's two-wheeler and passenger tire output adds further growth.
North America
North America accounted for 16.80% of the market in 2025, or USD 312.48 Million, and should reach USD 475.15 Million by 2035, growing at 4.28% a year. USTMA counted about 336.3 million US tire shipments in 2025, and Kraton's certified Panama City plant gives North American tire makers a local source of biobased polyterpene resins.
Europe
Europe represented a 20.60% share in 2025, worth USD 383.16 Million, and is expected to reach USD 577.06 Million by 2035 at a 4.18% CAGR. Tyres Europe reported 224.1 million consumer replacement tyres sold in Europe in 2025, and the EU label keeps traction resin loadings high even as volumes soften.
Latin America
Latin America made up 5.10% of the market in 2025, about USD 94.86 Million, rising to USD 154.22 Million by 2035 at 4.98% a year. Brazil and Mexico host plants from Pirelli, Bridgestone, Goodyear and Continental that import most specialty resins.
Middle East
The Middle East held 3.20% of 2025 demand, or USD 59.52 Million, and should reach USD 101.48 Million by 2035 at a 5.48% CAGR. New tire plants in Saudi Arabia and Turkey's export-oriented tire industry drive demand for tackifying and reinforcing resins.
Africa
Africa accounted for 1.90% of the market in 2025, around USD 35.34 Million, growing to USD 62.58 Million by 2035 at 5.88% a year, the fastest rate outside APAC. Plants in South Africa, Egypt and Morocco buy resins mainly through distributors.
| Region | 2025 (USD Million) | 2025 share | 2035 (USD Million) | CAGR 2025-2035 |

In March 2025, Kraton's Niort plant in France received ISCC PLUS certification for AMS and AMS-phenolic resins sold to tire makers.
A dozen specialists supply tire resins, and certified grades now set them apart
The Tire Resins market is moderately concentrated. A handful of global suppliers own the key traction resin chemistries, while phenolic and adhesion resins come from a separate group of chemical companies. Qualification cycles of 12 to 24 months at each tire plant make customer relationships sticky, so share shifts slowly and mostly when a plant closes or a new grade solves a label or wear problem.
Traction resin leaders
Kraton sells SYLVATRAXX polyterpene and AMS tread additives from certified plants at Niort and Panama City and is the best-known name for bio-based traction resins. Synthomer owns the Impera hydrocarbon tread resin line it bought from Eastman in 2022 and reports tyre results within its Adhesive Solutions division. ExxonMobil Chemical supplies Escorez hydrocarbon resins and runs a large resin plant in Singapore that serves Asian tire makers.
Asian hydrocarbon resin producers
Kolon Industries makes high-purity aromatic petroleum resins at Yeosu, South Korea, and expanded capacity for EV and high-performance tires. Zeon supplies Quintone C5 resins from Japan, and Arakawa Chemical sells ARKON hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins. Chinese producers in Shandong and Henan compete on price in commodity C5 and C9 grades.
Phenolic and adhesion resin suppliers
SI Group supplies phenolic tackifying and reinforcing resins and markets resorcinol-free bonding resins. Sumitomo Bakelite, through Durez, makes novolac reinforcing resins but is closing its Kenton plant. allnex offers ALNOVOL phenolic and CYREZ melamine resins for compounding and adhesion, and Neville Chemical sells hydrocarbon resins for tread compounds from the US.
Bio-based and mass-balance challengers
TotalEnergies Cray Valley supplies ISCC PLUS Cleartack tackifiers to Continental, and DRT, part of dsm-firmenich, sells rosin and terpene resins made from pine. These suppliers compete on renewable content and carbon footprint data as much as on price, and Radial Insights expects them to gain share as tire makers report scope 3 emissions.

Primary Interview Insights
Why are traction resin loadings rising?
Compound developers at European tire plants told us that resin is the cheapest lever to move a tread from label class B to A on wet grip. Several said loadings in summer and all-season treads have risen over the last three compound generations.
Will tire makers pay more for mass-balance resins?
Purchasing managers said they accept a premium for ISCC PLUS grades on flagship lines but not on budget tires. Most expect certified grades to become a standard request in new tender documents by 2028.
How are buyers responding to European plant closures?
Buyers told us they have started second-source qualifications with Asian and US resin makers. They expect the Boehlen closure to raise landed costs for some C9 grades in Europe.
Is resorcinol being phased out of bonding systems?
Suppliers said most global tire makers are testing resorcinol-free bonding resins, but full switching is slow because steel cord adhesion must be revalidated. They expect a gradual move over the next five to eight years.
Do EV tires use more resin?
Tire engineers told us EV fitments use larger tires with more tread compound per unit. Resin content per tire is higher, though the share of resin in the compound varies by brand.
