Opportunity
1. Growing market for all-season tyres worldwide, led by USA: As per research by Technavio, the worldwide all-season tyre market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% during 2019-2023. The major growth driver is the superior performance and safe driving experience provided by these tyres in extreme climates. Also, companies are changing the tread patterns to lower the noise and increase traction on different kinds of surfaces. North America was the market leader in 2018, followed by Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East-Africa and South America. In North America, countries like US and Canada have high demand for these tyres due to a mix of different climates throughout the year. Overall, the US tyre market is expected to grow at 5.4% CAGR during 2019-2024 to reach $75.4 billion in 2024. Among the 3 types of tyres: winter, summer and all-season, it is the all-season type that held the largest share of the US market in 2018. The demand for all-season tyres is expected to continue the market domination due to the climate vagaries. After the introduction of all-season tyres, the demand for season-specific tyres has decreased significantly in USA. Nokian is taking advantage of the growing all-season tyre demand by opening a new factory in Tennessee to double North American sales within 5 years, especially by increasing the sales of all-season tyres in this region. This marks a shift from the company’s traditional focus on winter tyre sales in Russia and Europe to the larger all-season market in North America.
1. Opportunities for tire manufacturers in the ultra-high performance segment: The ultra-high performance tyre market worldwide is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% during 2018-2023 and reach $43.4 billion by 2023. The growth driver is the rising demand for high performance vehicles. Nokian Powerproof summer tyre product is an attempt to cater to this segment. It has been awarded the TUV SUD performance mark which means this tyre is better than the competitors in quality and performance. This tyre has been rated as 100% in dry braking, dry handling, wet braking and wet handling. This rating is more than the industry average in these parameters. The Powerproof’s noise level is also 64.3 dB, slightly less than the industry average of 64.6 dB. The product has been rated superior to similar products of major competitors like Continental, Dunlop, Goodyear, Michelin and Pirelli.
