Tires for motor vehicles, which accounted for over 60 percent of all tire demand in 2010, are expected to remain the largest segment of the tire market in 2015. Vehicle utilization rates are forecast to increase worldwide as income levels rise, allowing a greater share of the population to own vehicles. This growth will bolster demand for both OEM and replacement motor vehicle tires, especially for light vehicles.

Global Demand to Rise 4.7% Annually Through 2015
World tire demand is forecast to rise 4.7 percent per year through 2015 to 3.3 billion units. In dollar
terms, the tire market is projected to advance 6.5 percent annually through 2015 to $220 billion. The
large motor vehicle tire market will see acceleration in growth through 2015 following a period of
weakness between 2005 and 2010, as the motor vehicle industries in many important producing
countries rebound. The strongest gains will be registered by the industrial and other tires segment,
which includes a variety of tire types, including bicycle, motorcycle and off-road tires.
Asia/Pacific to solidify status as dominant region
The Asia/Pacific region is by far the largest market for tires, accounting for over half of global tire sales in
2010. In addition, the region will register the strongest growth in tire demand through 2015, despite the
fact that the large Japanese tire market is expected to see extremely sluggish growth as the motor
vehicle industry in that country posts modest output gains. The massive Chinese tire market, which
singlehandedly accounted for more than one-quarter of global tire demand in 2010, will record the
strongest gains of any country through 2015. Although the majority of tire demand in China is comprised
of non-motor vehicle tires, sales of motor ehicle tires in the country are the second highest in the world,
behind only the US. The tire markets in North America and Western Europe will continue to see
advances below the global average, although both regions will rebound somewhat from the declines
recorded during the 2005 to 2010 period.
Motor vehicles to remain largest tire market
Tires for motor vehicles, which accounted for over 60 percent of all tire demand in 2010, are expected
to remain the largest segment of the tire market in 2015. Vehicle utilization rates are forecast to
increase worldwide as income levels rise, allowing a greater share of the population to own vehicles.
This growth will bolster demand for both OEM and replacement motor vehicle tires, especially for light
vehicles.
However, the industrial and other tire market will register the strongest gains of any tire segment
through 2015. Although this segment includes a wide range of tires, the vast majority of demand is
comprised of bicycle and motorcycle tires used in developing nations worldwide. The Asia/Pacific region
will account for more than 90 percent of growth in unit terms through 2015. The massive size of the
industrial and other tire segment in that region is reflective of both the large population levels, as well
as the low motor vehicle utilization rates, except in Japan and South Korea. Tires employed in other

2. applications -- including agricultural, construction and mining equipment, and airplanes -- will account
for some of the increases in sales, but are utilized in much lower numbers than bicycle and motorcycle
tires on a worldwide basis.
The Asia/Pacific region will register the fastest gains in production of any region through 2015. Advances
in China will be especially strong, with the country accounting for 63 percent of global tire output gains
through 2015 in unit terms. Increases throughout the region will be spurred by significant foreign
investment in tire manufacturing operations as large global companies attempt to capitalize on Asia’s
low labor costs, as well as new sales opportunities in local markets.
