Global Market Review of Automotive Tyres
The increasing segmentation of the car market has led directly to a more complex tyre market. Over the last 20 years, the popularity of sport utility vehicles, minivans and crossover vehicles has steadily increased, prompting manufacturers to redesign their tyres. In response, manufacturers have focused on ways in which to improve tyre dimensions, weight, rolling resistance, noise and fuel efficiency. Tomorrow’s tyre market is expected to be led by ultra high-performance (UHP) tyres which offer enhanced driving control, run-flat tyres which ensure safe driving even in the event of a flat tyre, and ultra fuel-efficient tyres. In particular, with the rapid growth of the hybrid vehicle market, the tyre industry has recently been concentrating on developing fuel-efficient products.
