Indonesian Tyre Market Set to Boom
According to the recently published report by TechSci Research ‘Indonesia Tyre Market Forecast and Opportunities 2018', the tyre industry in Indonesia is expected to grow at a rate of around 15 per cent during the next five years due to a continuous increase in automobile sales along with the demand for tyres in the replacement market. The report analyses key tyre companies in the Indonesian tyre market, which are Bridgestone, Gajah Tunggal and Sumi Rubber. However, with favourable factors like the continuous increase in the sales of automobiles, availability of rubber and infrastructure development, new companies like Pirelli, Hankook and Michelin are also planning to establish their manufacturing plants in the country to increase their presence in the
Indonesian tyre market.
The report also reveals the growing importance of retreading tyres. The tyre retreading business in the country is also being accepted on a large scale and domestic players have a considerable share in the retreading market, giving stiff competition to foreign companies. “The increasing investments in the sector along with growing demand for automobiles in Indonesia should contribute significantly to the demand for tyres during the next five years,” said Mr Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting firm.
