Tyre Market Watch: volumes trend (Δ% YoY)


Tyre Market Watch

Car & Light Truck Truck



2011 December trends show signs of slowdown in mature markets (Europe and North America) mainly on the Replacement Channels for both the Car and Truck business. These figures compare with a strong December 2010 reading: +15% Car RT in Europe, +120% Truck OE and +25% Truck RT in Europe, +23% Truck RT in Nafta and +26% Truck RT in Mercosur.

Different dynamics within the Mercosur: Consumer Replacement is holding up, while the trend on OE reflects the reduction of vehicle production in 2H 2011. On the truck business, sales are concentrated on the OE reflecting the vehicles upgrade to Euro5.

Premium continues to perform well in all main markets - both mature and emerging - showing once again to be resilient in the current scenario.
