Global Forestry Equipment Tyres Market – Dynamics
The long-term growth in the demand for forestry equipment tyres is expected to be driven by the socioeconomic outlook, which relies on changing demographic, continuous economic growth, urbanisation and increasing affluent population. Rapid urbanisation has led to an increase in the demand for wood & wood products, while manufacturers are increasingly adopting stable, reliable and comfortable forestry equipment to increase efficiency and output to match demand – likely mounting production of forestry equipment and further driving the demand from the OEM segment.
Flourishing construction industries across developed geographies such as North America and Europe is also expected to drive the demand for wood, thus supporting the growth of the forestry equipment tyres market.
However, the high price and high maintenance cost of forestry equipment restrains their adoption in developing countries and hinders the growth of forestry equipment tyres in these regions.
