Tire Retreading Market in the US 2014-2018: Marangoni Invests US$10 Million in Its Tread Rubber Facility
M2 - Wed Feb 26, 8:42AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kwblsz/tire_retreading) has announced the addition of the "Tire Retreading Market in the US 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Tire Retreading market in the US to grow at a CAGR of 16.94 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the price-effectiveness of retread tires. The Tire Retreading market in the US has also been witnessing the increasing investment from manufacturers. However, the quality and reliability issues could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are Bridgestone Corp., Compagnie Generale des Etablissements Michelin SCA, Marangoni S.p.A., and The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Continental AG, Cooper Tire and Rubber Co., Hankook Tire Co. Ltd., Pirelli and C. SpA, Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd., and Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: Leading manufacturers have been increasing their investment in retread tire manufacture to cater to the high demand in the country. Retread tire manufacturers in the US such as Bridgestone, Michelin, Goodyear, Marangoni, and Continental Tire have been expanding their production capacities and are planning to introduce new plants in various regions in the country despite the shortage in the supply of tire casings. For instance, Marangoni is investing US$10 million in its tread rubber facility in Madison, US, to manufacture retread tires. Hence, the increased investment by leading manufacturers is expected to increase the availability of retread tires in the country, leading to the growth of the market during the forecast period. According to the report, the main factor is the cost-effectiveness of retread tires. A new passenger vehicle tire would cost four times more than a retread tire for the vehicle, which highlights its cost-effectiveness. Hence, a set of four retread tires can be purchased in place of one new tire.

European All-Season Tire Market 2014-2018: Bridgestone, Continental, Hankook, Pirelli & Goodyear Dominate the Industry
M2 - Thu Feb 20, 10:08AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qh4r8k/allseason_tire) has announced the addition of the "European All-Season Tire Market 2014-2018: Bridgestone, Continental, Hankook, Pirelli & Goodyear Dominate the Industry" report to their offering. The increasing demand for tires with longer life is one of the major trends witnessed in the All-season Tire market in Europe. All-season tires generally provide a longer life when compared to tires specifically used in other seasons, especially during winters. Winter tires are usually made with softer rubber, which tends to get worn out at a faster rate than all-season tires. As vehicle owners expect tires to have a long life-expectancy, there is a higher demand for all-season tires. Moreover, vehicle owners prefer all-season tires since they can save costs compared to other tires with a shorter life. According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the cost savings achieved with the usage of all-season tires. End-users across Europe prefer to use all-season tires rather than using different tires for different seasons. This helps vehicle owners to save costs since they do not have to change tires every season. This is in turn is promoting the usage of all-season tires, thereby boosting the growth of the All-season Tire market in Europe. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the lower performance of all-season tires compared to winter tires. Although all-season tires facilitate mobility on snowy roads, they are not the best option for vehicles during the winter season. This difference in performance between all-season tires and winter tires is due to the tread design, which is wider in winter tires and narrower in the case of all-season tires. This can have a negative impact on the growth of the market in the near term. Key vendors dominating this space include: - Apollo Vredestein B.V. - Bridgestone Corp. - Continental AG - Hankook Tire Worldwide Co. Ltd. - Nokian Tyres plc - Pirelli & C. S.p.A. - The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co Key Topics Covered: 01. Executive Summary 02. List of Abbreviations 03. Scope of the Report 04. Market Research Methodology 05. Introduction 06.

M2 - Mon Jan 13, 10:47AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/t62xrw/winter_tire) has announced the addition of the "Canada Winter Tire Market Report 2014-2018" report to their offering. Studdless tires are increasing in popularity in the Winter Tire market in Canada. Studded winter tires, if used in seasons other than winter, tend to damage the roads and their increased use can also lead to potholes. The studdless tires, on the other hand, are much smoother on roads and do not cause any damage. Hence, studdless tires are gaining popularity across numerous provinces that are experiencing limited snowfall. The main factor which is driving the Winter Tire market in Canada is the improved safety provided by these tires when used during winter. When roads are covered with snow and ice, they tend to be highly slippery. Hence, the use of winter tires provides immense grip/traction and helps reduce the number of road accidents. Further, the report states that the main challenge witnessed by the market is the affordability factor. Winter tires cost only a little more than standard summer/all-season tires but they can be used only in the winter and not throughout the year. Hence, people need to invest and have two sets of tires. Key vendors dominating this space include: - Bridgestone Corp. - Canadian Tire Corp. - Compagnie Generale des Etablssements Michelin SCA - Hankook Tire Worldwide Co.,Ltd. - The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.
