Top Impacting Factors
- Increase in automobile production, stringent government regulation, and rising concern for fuel efficiency are driving the growth of the market.
- High cost as compared to normal tire, and fluctuating price of raw material is expected to hamper the growth of the market.
- Technological development and increasing concern for safety can be seen as an opportunity for the market investments.
The run flat tire market trends are as follows:
Fluctuating price of raw material
Due to the insufficient supply of natural rubber and the increase in input costs due to oil prices, fluctuations in raw material prices have inhibited the growth of the global run flat tire market. In addition, almost all raw materials are crude derivatives therefore linked to crude oil prices. Further, raw material used to produce run flat tires accounts for almost 75% of the production cost with synthetic and natural rubber being the key raw materials. In recent years, global crude oil prices have risen. Hence, prices of synthetic rubber and other crude derivatives used in the production of tires are expected to increase in the coming years. This in turn is expected to decrease the growth of the global run flat tires market.
Increase in automobile production
The automotive industry has seen strong growth in the past decade, mainly in countries such as China, United States, Japan, India, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The global automotive industry, in its early stage, was only concentrated in developed countries such as Japan, the U.S., and Germany. As the automotive industry standardizes, manufacturing facilities will shift their focus to developing countries such as China, Thailand, and India. Recently, the automobile industry has been growing at a rapid pace owing to speedy industrialization, which has led to an increase in the sale of commercial vehicles such as trucks, tractors, and trailers. Developing countries have witnessed an increase in automobile demand and production. For instance, India became the fourth largest automobile industry in the world with increase in sales of 9.5% year-on-year to 4.2 million units. Thus, upsurge in automobile production is anticipated to boost the growth of the global run flat tires market.
