    GLOBAL SUV TIRE MARKET

     

    INTROUDCTION

    Sport Utility Vehicles or SUVs as they are widely called have risen in popularity in past 10 years and have outgrown all other vehicle body types in past 5 years. They now account for 35% of new vehicles sold globally, a sharp increase from 21% in 2014.

     

    The reason why they are such an important segment for tire manufacturers is they inherently use bigger, stronger tires due to heavy kerb weight and versatile applications (towing, off-roading, adventure sports) they are subjected to.

     

    MARKET DYNAMICS

    The dynamics of OE and replacement SUV tire market segment are completely different. Where the former requires close collaboration with the car manufacturers, the latter requires solid distribution and sales network. The replacement demand has grown at a slower rate than OE demand but is characterized by significantly higher volumes and average gross margin for tire manufacturers.

     

    In US and China, none of the best-selling SUVs had 16-inch tires, whereas in Europe 3 out of top 10 had them.
