Global Low Rolling Resistance Tire Market to Surpass USD 69.2 Billion by 2035, Fueled by EV Adoption and Green Mobility Initiatives

The low rolling resistance tire market is projected to grow from USD 22.9 billion in 2025 to USD 69.2 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 11.7%. Passenger Vehicle Tires will dominate with a 77.0% market share, while aftermarket will lead the sales channel segment with a 60.0% share.
Published 04 November 2025

The global low rolling resistance (LRR) tire market is set for rapid expansion, projected to grow from USD 22.9 billion in 2025 to USD 69.2 billion by 2035, registering an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%, according to the latest industry outlook.

Growth will be powered by surging electric vehicle (EV) adoption, tightening fuel-efficiency mandates, and technological breakthroughs in advanced tire compounds. LRR tires are emerging as a key enabler of energy-efficient transportation, providing 8–12% fuel savings and extending EV range by 10–15% compared to conventional alternatives.

Market Acceleration Driven by Regulatory and Technological Forces

Between 2025 and 2030, the market will witness its fastest growth phase, as automakers integrate LRR tires to meet stringent emissions and efficiency standards across global markets.

From 2030 to 2035, the market will stabilize, driven by replacement demand and adoption in developing economies, supported by next-generation materials such as silica-rich compounds, bio-based polymers, and smart tire systems.

“The low rolling resistance tire industry is not just about mobility—it’s about sustainability, performance, and compliance,” said a senior market analyst. “As EVs and fuel-efficient vehicles become mainstream, LRR tires are transforming from an efficiency add-on to an industry standard.”
