Discount Tires versus Quality Tractor Tires: Which is better?
One of the major problems that end users face is to differentiate between prices of different brands of agriculture tires. Customers are perplexed whether to invest in expensive quality agriculture tires or opt for the low-end tires that are less expensive. As such, the agriculture tire market is largely consolidated with major players accounting for over 45% of the market stake. Since rest of the market stake is governed by emerging and other fragmented players, many unscrupulous manufacturers in the agriculture tire market provide customers with discount agriculture tires that are produced from low-quality raw materials. Hence, prominent market players are educating customers about the construction of casing and profiles of high-tech agriculture tires to increase their uptake in the market.
Moreover, advantageous attributes such as cross stabilizing ply and robust sidewalls in high-end agricultural tires are creating value for customers.
Analysts’ Viewpoint
The demand for critical size agriculture tires has increased in Europe amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Hybrid agricultural tires are a novel introduction in the agriculture tire market that allow operators to adjust pressure settings according to the load. Moreover, mobile apps are becoming increasingly popular to measure pressure and load capacities in agricultural tires.
Tubeless tires are growing prominent in farm tractors. However, in many cases, users need to carry out cumbersome tasks to reset the bead seal in order to air up the tire. Hence, companies should increase awareness about easy hacks such as putting extra pounds of air into tires to avoid the bead from breaking loose on hillsides.
Agriculture Tire Market: Overview
- The global agriculture tire market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of ~4%Â during the forecast period, owing to increased use of agricultural equipment worldwide to achieve better farm yields
