Industrial Tyres are an often-overlooked market segment. However, without industrial tyres of all types, most logistics operations would grind to a halt. We asked Continental how important the industrial tyre market is, and how would they break the market down into specific sectors? (Forklift/ Tele-handling/ Crane tyres etc.)
Continental replied; “The industrial tyre market is more than just a support system for heavy machinery — it is a reflection of economic movement. When industrial tyres are in use, it signals active logistics, construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure development. These tyres keep warehouses running, ports operating, and construction sites building — making them essential to the flow of goods and services in the global economy.
“As the industrial landscape evolves, so does the need for tyres that are not only tough and reliable but also smart and sustainable. Continental is at the forefront of this shift, investing in innovation across the entire tyre lifecycle, from material sourcing to end-of-life recycling.
“We focus our resources on our strengths in Material Handling, Earthmoving, and Port Operations tyres to sharpen the direction of our Commercial Specialty Tires business — an area that holds significant value and strategic importance for Continental.”
