UAE Tyre Demand Grew at Over 10% Between 2010 and 2014 Says TechSci Research

Burnaby, Canada, December 05, 2015 --(PR.com)-- According to TechSci Research report, “UAE Tyre Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2020,” tyre market in the UAE grew at a CAGR of more than 10% during 2010 - 2014. Growth in the market can be attributed to a number of factors including rising passenger car sales, growing per capita disposable income and considerable improvements in the country’s road infrastructure over the last few years. In addition, the country has been witnessing robust increase in construction activities in form of new hotels, commercial complexes, and high rise residential as well as office buildings. All these factors are creating significant demand impetus in the country’s tyre market.

Passenger car fleet in the country has been growing at a robust pace, thereby creating huge demand for tyres from the replacement segment. However, despite ever growing demand, the country largely lacks in tyre production and is dependent on tyre imports from other countries.Moreover,as the country experiences extreme climatic conditions throughout the year, vehicle owners need to replace their tyres frequently, which augments tyre demand in the country’s replacement tyre market. Bridgestone, Michelin, Yokohama, Goodyear, Pirelli and Continental are among the dominant tyre companies operating in the UAE.

“UAE government’s liberal taxation policies and investment support systems are encouraging foreign investors towards the country, and this has had a positive impact on the country’s automotive market, including the tyre industry, over the last five years. Moreover, with increasing automobile sales and shortening tyre replacement period, the demand for tyres is anticipated to grow through 2020,” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting firm.
