The study is calles “World Tires” and the research firm expects the market to grow worldwide in sales with almost 8 percent per year to 276 billion dollars in 2017

Asia

South East Asia is responsible for two-thirds of this increase in demand. Growth will slow down here as a result of the decreasing expansion of car production and car use in China. India shows strong growth and will thus surpass Japan. But here, too, the sales growth in 2017 will decrease due to shrinking population and lower vehicle production.

America second

Freedonia ziet de vraag naar banden in West Europa en Noord-Amerika groeien met net 2 procent. Noord-Amerika blijft tweede in de wereldwijde vraag naar banden met een aandeel van 13 procent.
