Commenting on the report an analyst from Technavio’s team said: “The global demand for natural rubber plunged due to the slowdown in the global economy and the euro crisis leading to a fall in prices. The demand for natural rubber is further weakened with the fall in prices of crude oil the key raw material for synthetic rubber which is a substitute for natural rubber. The fall in synthetic rubber prices and the growth in global production of natural rubber lead to surplus leading to further declines in natural rubber prices. This fall in the price of synthetic and natural rubber is set to benefit those who use them as raw materials provided that the demand for the end product does not fall. The chief beneficiaries without doubt are tire vendors such as Bridgestone MRF Ceat Goodyear Sumitomo and Michelin as they consume about 70 percent of the global natural rubber production. The profit margins of the tire vendors have surged since 2011 when prices started dipping. However tire vendors are expected to pass these savings on to their consumers.”
According to the report despite the supply of crude oil being much higher than demand OPEC the world's largest oil cartel has not cut production which led to a rapid fall in oil prices. Crude oil prices have tumbled as low as $50 per barrel. Currently fuel prices are at their lowest in years. This fall in fuel prices has led to an increase in on-road and off-road driving. With an increase in the miles being driven passenger car tires which have an average service life of 30000 miles in South Korea are expected to wear out sooner therefore leading to a steady need for replacement tires. With higher demand for replacements the growth rate of the market in South Korea is likely to rise.
Further the report states that the introduction of unique tire sizes by automobile manufacturers hinders the growth for the replacement tire market.
