Tyre Mould Engineering: The Unsung Hero of Tyre Manufacturing

At first glance, tyres may appear simple, but the technology behind them is sophisticated. It must factor in performance, fuel efficiency, resistance, weather and seasonal suitability, noise, comfort, size, durability, tread pattern design, material, application needs, regulatory compliance, and sustainability, amongst many other factors.

Facing many ever-evolving requirements, manufacturers must innovate to remain competitive and compliant. 

A Global Industry

The global tyre manufacturing market will be worth $300 billion by 2028. The growth is driven by the rise of electric vehicles, expanding transport networks, and evolving safety standards. 

In the UK in 2024, approximately 79 million units of tyres were recorded - this figure will rise to 88 million units by 2035.

Who is driving demand? 

Tyre customers include vehicle manufacturers, aerospace, aftermarket consumers, commercial fleets, industrial and agricultural operations, motorsport teams, military organisations, retread specialists, and research and development departments. In each case, they all have unique requirements.
