Based on the sales channel, the market is sub-segmented into OEM and aftermarket. Among these sales channels, the OEM segment is expected to propel the growth of the market due to the increasing demand and usage of OEM tires in autonomous underwater vehicles globally.

The market players are also contributing significantly to the market growth by adopting various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, partnerships, collaborations, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in April 2022, Continental introduced tires made of polyester derived from recycled PET bottles. Continental offers the PremiumContact 6, EcoContact 6, and AllSeasonContact tires, all of which are constructed from polyester derived from recycled PET bottles. Continental is the first tire company to begin mass manufacturing recycled polyester yarn made from PET plastic bottles using a novel technology. Continental said in a release that the new high-performance material would be utilized in certain sizes for the PremiumContact 6, EcoContact 6 summer tires, and the AllSeasonContact tire. In the carcass of the chosen tires, this totally substitutes the traditional polyester. This set of tires is made up of around 40 recycled PET bottles. Continental debuted their in-house ContiRe.Tex technology for the first time in September 2021. It makes use of polyester yarn, which is made from recycled PET bottles without the use of any chemical intermediates and is not recycled in any other manner.
