Tire Cord Fabric Market Size and Share Forecast Outlook 2025 to 2035

The global tire cord fabric market is valued at USD 9.3 billion in 2025. It is slated to reach USD 18.5 billion by 2035, recording an absolute increase of USD 9.1 billion over the forecast period. FMI’s verified research on advanced composites and performance materials indicates that this translates into a total growth of 97.8%, with the market forecast to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% between 2025 and 2035. The overall market size is expected to grow by nearly 1.98X during the same period, supported by increasing demand for radial tire production, growing adoption of electric vehicle tire platforms requiring low rolling resistance cords, and rising emphasis on sustainable tire reinforcement solutions across diverse passenger car, commercial vehicle, and specialty tire manufacturing applications.

Between 2020 and 2025, the tire cord fabric market experienced steady growth, driven by increasing tire production infrastructure development and growing recognition of advanced cord fabrics as essential reinforcement materials for reliable tire performance and durability in diverse automotive applications. The market developed as tire engineers and manufacturers recognized the potential for high-tenacity synthetic cords to enhance tire structural integrity while supporting weight reduction and fuel efficiency requirements. Technological advancement in cord dipping processes and adhesion systems began emphasizing the critical importance of maintaining bonding performance and operational efficiency in radial tire production applications.

Between 2025 and 2030, the tire cord fabric market is projected to expand from USD 9.3 billion to USD 13.1 billion, resulting in a value increase of USD 3.8 billion, which represents 41.8% of the total forecast growth for the decade. This phase of development will be shaped by increasing radialization of commercial vehicle tires, rising adoption of electric vehicle tire platforms requiring specialized low rolling resistance cord fabrics, and growing demand for high-tenacity polyester and nylon cords that ensure structural integrity and performance optimization. Tire manufacturers and cord fabric producers are expanding their production capabilities to address the growing demand for efficient tire reinforcement materials and advanced adhesion systems.

From 2030 to 2035, the market is forecast to grow from USD 13.1 billion to USD 18.5 billion, adding another USD 5.3 billion, which constitutes 58.2% of the overall ten-year expansion. This period is expected to be characterized by the expansion of sustainable cord production technologies and recyclable fabric architectures, the development of advanced dipping systems and resorcinol-free adhesion technologies for improved environmental compliance, and the growth of specialized applications for electric vehicle tires, motorsport tires, and aviation tire platforms requiring superior strength-to-weight ratios. The growing adoption of circular economy principles and bio-based cord materials will drive demand for tire cord fabrics with enhanced sustainability profiles and environmental performance features.
