The sales of passenger cars and heavy commercial vehicles in Mexico have registered double digit growth during the last three years. Also, the country has one of the largest bus and truck fleets, which is subsequently driving the demand for tyres, particularly in the replacement market.

According to the report the leading tyre companies in Mexico are Continental, Bridgestone, Cooper and JK Tornel, where Continental is dominant. However, likes of Michelin, Goodyear, Pirelli, Yokohama and Hankook, etc., are also focusing on Mexico’s tyre market, which can be inferred from the fact that companies are continuously investing in Mexico for the establishment and expansion of new or existing production and assembly plants.

The report also reveals that the growing retreading tyre industry of Mexico is also being accepted at large scale and major global players have a considerable share in the retreading tyre market of the country.

“Mexico’s tyre market is being driven by the automotive demand in the country as well as in the Latin American region. As Mexico has FTAs with various countries around the world, it has become the most preferred destination for the production of automobiles and its components, in order to cater to the demand of neighboring countries. Thus, increasing investments in the automotive sector along with the growing demand for automobiles in the domestic market is anticipated to contribute significantly to the demand for tyres in the next five years,” said Mr Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting firm.
