$2.37 billion is the projected tire cord adhesives market size for 2036, up from $1.24 billion in 2026, as suppliers benefit from rising demand for validated cord-rubber bonding in tire production.
96.4 million vehicles were produced globally in 2025, while U.S. replacement passenger tire shipments were forecast at 224.2 million, supporting recurring adhesive demand across new-build and service cycles.
59.5% of 2026 sales are expected to come from direct chemical supply, reflecting buyers’ preference for suppliers that can provide plant trials, technical documentation and batch-level support during qualification.
44.5% of 2026 demand is projected to come from passenger car tires, with EV output nearing 22 million vehicles in 2025 and pushing tire makers toward bonding systems suited to heavier, higher-torque platforms.
8.6% CAGR in India leads the country outlook through 2036, ahead of China at 7.8%, underscoring how growth is shifting toward manufacturing hubs with expanding local tire and materials supply chains.
