Retreaded Tire – Overview

Retread tires, often referred to as recap tires or remolded tires, are used tires that have had their worn tread replaced with fresh tread through a remanufacturing process, which helps to prolong the tire's life. Retreading tires is common in many types of cars and is considered quite safe. They go through the same safety inspection as brand-new tires that are produced in factories. Retread tires that are properly cared for may save up to 30% on tires when compared to new ones. They also offer equal performance and mileage to quality new tires at a much cheaper cost, as well as the same durability and performance.

Growth Drivers

Growing Focus on Eco-Friendly Practices

Waste tires pose a threat to the environment because of their vast volume and sluggish rate of decomposition. When they build up in landfills or are illegally disposed of, they can cause visual pollution and even pose health concerns. Consequently, retreading tires is becoming a viable and environmentally responsible way to address the rising tire waste in Africa. Tire retreads lessen landfill trash and energy use, which contributes to environmental protection, according to Thompson Tire & Retread. The rising focus on sustainable environmental practices in the automotive industry is providing lucrative growth opportunities to the Africa Retreaded Tires Market.

Challenges

Limited Infrastructure

Africa currently has no sufficient recycling infrastructure to handle all the second-hand tires that are being sold in the region. It could pose a major restraint on the growth of the Africa Retreaded Tire Market. An estimated 1.5 to 2 million used tires are sold in South Africa alone; 750,000 to 900,000 of them are either unlawful or unsafe for usage on public roads. The lack of proper waste tire management plan may limit the tire retreading in the region, limiting the overall market growth.
