U.S. Recycled Tire Rubber Market To Reach $2,016.6 Million By 2033

U.S. Recycled Tire Rubber Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. recycled tire rubber market size is anticipated to reach USD 2,016.6 million by 2033 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.1% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The U.S. recycled tire rubber industry has become a strategic segment within the broader circular materials landscape due to its ability to convert end-of-life tires into valuable secondary resources. The market benefits from a mature collection network and expanding downstream applications that range from construction materials to industrial components. Its relevance has strengthened as federal and state agencies emphasize waste diversion and sustainable material use across infrastructure and manufacturing.

A primary demand catalyst is the steady rise in applications for recycled rubber across civil engineering, molded goods and energy recovery. Crumb rubber is widely adopted because it provides durability, impact absorption and cost efficiency compared with virgin elastomers. These performance advantages support growing use in rubberized asphalt, sports surfacing, and molded automotive parts. Public procurement policies and private sustainability commitments are reinforcing this shift toward recycled-content materials.

The market is also shaped by advancements in processing technologies that enable higher-value outputs. Innovations in ambient and cryogenic grinding provide a more consistent particle size distribution, enhancing suitability for specialty applications. Emerging devulcanization and pyrolysis systems are attracting investment as they unlock pathways to reclaimed rubber, recovered carbon black, and renewable oil fractions. These developments broaden revenue streams and enable recyclers to participate in more complex value chains.

Industry growth is driven by the increasing demand for cost-effective and environmentally responsible materials across municipal and commercial projects. Recycled tire rubber offers a stable supply position due to the large volume of end-of-life tires generated annually. Its competitive pricing and performance in high-wear environments make it a practical choice for infrastructure owners, landscape designers, and product manufacturers. As regulatory emphasis on circularity intensifies, the U.S. market is positioned to expand its role in sustainable material solutions.

The market players are focusing on various strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations. For instance, in October 2025, KBR announced it added tire recycling technology, TyreNova, to its advanced recycling portfolio through a strategic alliance with Klean Industries, a leader in tire recycling technologies. TyreNova is a modular, patented tire pyrolysis technology that converts end-of-life tires into tire pyrolysis oil and recovered carbon black, both of which can be reused as valuable feedstocks.
