Industry Overview
• Demand for tyres is derived from demand for automobiles. Therefore it is a ‘derived
demand’ product and its fortunes are very closely linked to those of the auto segment.
Within the tyre industry the trucks and buses (T&B) segment accounts for more than 70%
of sales. Though scooters and motorcycle tyre demand also plays a vital role, in value
terms, CVs gain significance.
• Tyre varieties can be divided into two categories – cross ply and radial. The domestic
industry is dominated by cross-ply tyres, due to the poor conditions of roads in the
country and overloading of CVs. This is also the reason why penetration of radial tyres in
the CV segment is negligible and finds presence only in the passenger car segment. On the
other hand, radial tyres dominate western markets. Radial tyres can be differentiated on
the type of belt used – fiberglass, steel and nylon. Worldwide, steel belted radials are
more popular due to their performance advantage.
• There are three major consumer segments for tyres namely replacement segment,
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and exports. Though fortunes of the sector are
closely tied with the automobile industry, replacement demand continues to remain the
key growth driver. Replacement demand accounts for as high as 57% of industry volumes.
13
However, the contribution from OEM and replacement segments varies across sub-
segments in the auto sector. For instance, for the passenger car segment, demand is
balanced from replacement and OEM categories i.e. 50:50.
• Another key transition that is taking place in the industry is the entry of multinationals like
Good Year, Bridgestone and Michelin in the domestic market. MNC tyre makers have
cornered a higher market share in India in the last three years due to their international
relationships apart from superior technology. Since Honda, Hyundai and Toyota have an
international sourcing agreement with Bridgestone; it is also the preferred supplier in
India. Goodyear is believed to be the preferred supplier for Ford India.
• An extensive distribution network and strong brand recall are factors critical to tyre sales.
Brand building is given a lot of importance by manufacturers, who allot 2-3% of sales to
advertising. With the introduction of radial tyres, even technology has assumed
significance. All foreign cars introduced in the country are on radial tyres.
• Raw materials constitute 60%-70% of production cost of tyres. Natural rubber and Nylon
cord fabrics are the most critical raw materials as it accounts for 50% of total raw material
cost. Since most of the raw materials are crude derivatives, a rise in prices has a negative
impact on margins.
• The export market holds tremendous potential for domestic manufacturers. Tyre exports
have grown at an annual compounded rate of 27% over the past 10 years. Indian tyres are
exported to 56 countries, which are primarily developing countries.
