Global Automotive Tires Market 2013-2023 - How Will New EU Labelling Influence the Market?
The global automotive tire market is a fast moving and capital intensive industry. Visiongain assesses that the global automotive tire market will achieve sales surpassing 1 billion tires in 2013. The market has two fundamental sectors: the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) market i.e. tires fitted to new vehicles by manufacturers and the aftermarket for replacement tires that consumers choose. Both of these are analysed within this report in detail.
The aftermarket has moved in two directions with imports of cheap Chinese tires taking the place over the last five years of eastern European tyres. In addition the top of the market has seen a change with more high performance tires fitted to 'standard' cars and an increasing growth in premium and larger sized tires.
Ultra high performance tires are going to continue to grow in market size as everyday cars are coming now with higher speed-rated tires, which are categorized as ultra high performance (UHP).
New segments of cars, which in turn drives tire sales, such as the growth of crossover utility vehicle (or CUVs as they are often abbreviated to). A CUV: crossover utility vehicle is a vehicle built on a car platform and combining, in highly variable degrees, features of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) with features from a passenger vehicle, especially those of an estate car or hatchback.
The CUV will dramatically change the type of car, and in turn the type of tire, chosen by consumers worldwide. More and more manufacturers have seen this trend and have brought out models to compete with the established models such as the Range Rover Evoque, Nissan Qashqai and Dacia Duster
Within the report, vehicles and the corresponding tire sizes are examined with a detailed regional analysis of the market with regional trends and by tire size explored. As the global car manufacturing sector expands in some regions and contracts in others visiongain analyses this trend, the impacts on both the original equipment and aftermarket sectors and predicts how these trends are affected by microeconomic factors influencing the tire industry's prospects such as supply and demand dynamics, consumer behaviour, company behaviour and product pricing In addition wider macroeconomic factors are examined as to how these play a part in current and future tire market trends.

Eastern Europe Automotive Tire Aftermarket Submarket Forecasts 2013-2023
The Eastern Europe automotive tire aftermarket is affected by discounting in western Europe. Consumers can travel abroad for discounted cars and car manufacturers will allocate cars to countries where demand is holding up. Therefore as new cars are sold there is a corresponding movement in the aftermarket sector as dealers and private motorists who have bought the second hand vehicle spend money on it to bring it up to retail standards or in the case of private motorists replace worn out parts such as tires
Expert Opinion
Visiongain: From now on comparable information has to be provided on three important areas of performance for millions of tires across Europe. Jean-Pierre Jeusette talks to Visiongain about the new rules and the significant work that is going on behind the scenes at Goodyear Dunlop. Did you expect the introduction of such legislation across Europe?
Goodyear Dunlop Ltd: As a member of the European Tire & Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA) Goodyear Dunlop has been involved in the formulation of the EU Tire Label legislation from an early stage. We were able to advise policy makers on the important role tires play in the environmental and safety performance of a vehicle. Tires can contribute to reduced fuelconsumption and fewer CO2 emissions and – for me the key element – they have a major influence on the vehicle’s safety performance. For instance, with a wise tire choice, drivers can significantly influence a shorter stopping distance. Since the announcement of the new EU legislation we have been ensuring our associates are well informed on what the tire label is and what impact we believe it might have. We have informed and educated carmakers, tire dealers, media and other important business partners about the label.
