Serbia Tire Market By Vehicle Type (Passenger Car, LCV, M&HCV, OTR, and Two-Wheeler), By Demand Category (OEM Vs. Replacement), By Radial Vs Bias, By Region Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2026

Serbia tire market was valued USD0.15 billion in 2020 and is projected to be valued USD0.21 billion by 2026 on the back of increasing vehicle sales due to declining interest rates, which is leading to affordable automobile financing in the country. Furthermore, Serbia is a candidate for membership in the European Union and is one of the developing countries of the Balkan region. This is making the country a lucrative market for tire manufacturers. In addition to this, presence of most of the leading global automotive OEMs is also acting as a major growth factor for Serbia tire market. Moreover, most of the governments in the European countries, including Serbia, have imposed strict rules and regulations regarding the periodical use of winter tires and snow tires, which is strongly driving the tire market across the region due to the need for periodical change of tires. As per the government norms in Serbia, the automotive tires need to be changed in a periodical manner and must having minimum depth of the tread pattern of at least 4mm, which results in generating more tire demand in the replacement market.

The market is also witnessing several innovations in terms of technology and environment. For instance, rising awareness and concerns among people about environment is boosting the adoption of green tires. An increasing number of automobile owners are preferring to use green tires in their vehicles instead of conventional tires, and this trend is expected to gain higher traction in Serbian tire market in the coming years.

However, the spread of novel COVID-19 pandemic has created both a public health crisis and an economic crisis in Serbia. Due to the declaration of lockdown to stop the spreading of pandemic, almost all the automotive factories, showrooms and workshops were closed, witnessing a massive sales decline. According to Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia (SORS), in April 2020, overall industrial production dropped by 17.6% and manufacturing by 20%. However, automobile market in Serbia has witnessed revival with an increase in the production and sales in third quarter of 2020 after a huge decline in first two quarters of 2020 due to COVID-19. This further resulted in increasing demand for tires from OEM as well as replacement market segments with an increasing number of people starting to travel more frequently and many offices resuming work from office premises from the third quarter of 2020.
