TRACTION CHAINS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global traction chains market size was valued at USD 0.32 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 0.47 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

Traction Chains are nets constructed of chains that are placed to car tires to offer maximum traction when driving over snow and ice. Snow chains can be attached to a vehicle's drive wheels, or sophisticated systems can deploy chains that swing beneath the tires automatically. The chains providing tractions are often made of metal chains that are wrapped around a vehicle's tires to create more traction. To guarantee a tight fit, tensioners or fastening mechanisms are used. The chains dig into the ground, producing friction and keeping the tires from slipping or sliding.

The traction chains market refers to the industry that manufactures, distributes, and sells traction chains or snow chains. Traction chains are metal devices that are designed to improve vehicle grip and traction on slippery terrain such as snow, ice, or mud. They are often used on vehicles such as cars, trucks, SUVs, and motorbikes to improve traction and stability in harsh weather situations.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the traction chains market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the position of the chemicals and materials sector and has hampered the expansion of the glisonite market. The execution of steps to control the virus's spread has exacerbated the issue and hampered the expansion of various sectors. Due to decreased market demand, many powder metallurgy parts and powder manufacturers have had to cut back and adapt their operations. The automobile industry's raw material constraint has harmed the powder metallurgy sector's performance and lowered demand for atomizing metal powders. However, as economies aim to restart their operations, global demand for the product is likely to rise in the coming years.

LATEST TRENDS

The Technological Advancements and Material Innovations to Grow Market Potentially

The traction chains market is impacted by factors such as technological developments in chain design, material innovations, government restrictions addressing winter driving safety, and seasonal changes in demand. The market is competitive, with various manufacturers and brands offering a variety of traction chain choices to meet varying consumer needs and preferences.

DRIVING FACTORS

Improved Safety and Control in Snowy and Icy Regions is Viable to Boost the Market Growth

The need for increased safety and control in icy or snowy weather is the main factor driving the market for traction chains. Traction chains are frequently more in demand in areas with harsh winters or mountainous terrain. Even if there are many exciting and dangerous things to do in the winter, ice roads unquestionably provide one of the biggest risks. A tried-and-true approach to increase your grip on icy roads is to use tyre traction chains. It's also important to note that in the snowiest and mountainous areas, specialized winter tyres are strongly advised.

The Applications in Industries as Transport, Logistics and Emergency Services to Multiply the Production and Market Growth

Original equipment producers (OEMs), who provide chains as an integral part of new vehicles, and aftermarket producers, who create chains as standalone accessories for pre-existing vehicles, both participate in the market for the chains. To match different tyre sizes and vehicle types, these chains can be made in a variety of designs, sizes, and compatibility combinations. Traction chains are also used by sectors including transportation, logistics, and emergency services to keep their vehicles operating normally even in adverse weather.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Several Challenges Associated with the Demand and Production to Restrain the Market Growth

Industries such as infrastructure, transportation and tourism have been majorly impacted by sudden disruptions in operational efficiencies and disruptions in value chains as a result of the abrupt closure of national and international borders. The major slow down of the growth in various industrial sectors reduced global demand for the product. Therefore, reduced global demand is limiting the traction chains market growth.

TRACTION CHAINS MARKET REGIONAL INSIGHTS

Asia Pacific Region to Dominate the Market with Developing Industrial Sector

Because of the continuously developing industrial sector, Asia Pacific has a promising traction chains market share. The growth of the infrastructure, the tourism industry and the growing logistics and transportation department are all aspects that have an impact on the traction chains market. The market is anticipated to expand in areas with major industrial and building activity, such as Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. The rising use of the chains in the snowy and hilly areas mainly slippery is likely to drive the product demand over the forecast period.
