Description
just-auto estimates that the global tyre market for passenger cars, light-, medium- and heavy-duty truck applications accounted for nearly 1.29bn tyres sold in 2007, of which 948m (73%) were replacement tyres.
Although only one-quarter of road tyres are specified and bought by the vehiclemakers, this segment of the market is significant as it drives technical development and has a major influence over the aftermarket. The popularity of sports utility vehicles (SUVs), minivans and cross-over vehicles has prompted manufacturers to redesign their tyres, and innovation has remained focused on improving tyre dimensions, weight, rolling resistance, noise, and fuel efficiency.
Interest in run-flat tyres is another major focus of research and development, and the future 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 efficiency tyres which improve fuel efficiency.
This fifth edition of just-auto's automotive tyres report reviews these emerging trends, and offers exclusive Q&A interviews with senior executives of Bridgestone, Continental and Goodyear, profiles of the major manufacturers, and review of the latest technical developments, and forecasts through to 2014.
Chapter 1: Introduction - Brief explanation of the tyre market.
Chapter 2: The market - This extensive chapter studies the market, with comment on how 'tomorrow's' tyre market is set to look. There is a focus on the market players, and we include exclusive Q&A's with Franco Annunziatto, managing director of Bridgestone's technical centre in Rome, in which he talks about the technical innovations and strategies Bridgestone plan to pursue now and in the future.
Sales for each manufacturer by geographical region (2003-2007) is also offered, along with a section summarising all of the major tyre manufacturer's main investments in Western Europe, North America and Asia, and manufacturing capacities in the emerging markets.
Forecasts for the OE and replacement market for the passenger car, light-truck, medium- and heavy-duty truck tyre market (in the European Union; Eastern Europe and Russia; North America; Asia; Africa; South America; Middle East and the Gulf; and the rest of the world) from 2004 through to 2014 are also provided.
Chapter 3: Technical review - We define the tyre sector and take a look at the latest developments and innovations, such as Michelin's Energy Saver tyre, and Bridgestone's so-called 'cooling fin' technology.
Two exclusive Q&A's are also included in this chapter. One with James Bailey, corporate communications manager at Goodyear about the company's tyre business, and the second with:
- Ralf Hoffmann, brand manager, Continental Passenger & Light Truck Tires.
- Nikolai Setzer, executive vice president, Business Unit Original Equipment, Passenger & Light Truck Tire Division.
- Dr Burkhard Wies, vice president, Tire Line Development Worldwide, Continental.
Chapter 4: Manufacturers - We profile eleven of the major manufacturers in this final chapter, Bridgestone, Continental, Cooper Tire & Rubber, Goodyear, Hankock Tyres, Kumho, Michelin, Pirelli, Sumitomo, Toyo Tyres, and Yokohama. Read more about their customers, products, facilities, sales, and mergers and acquisitions.
