Turkey Tyre Market to Witness Robust Demand from Passenger Car and Commercial Vehicle OEMs
Low motorization rate and increasing automobile exports continue to boost OEM tyre demand
After being hit by global recession and Eurozone crisis, automobile sector in Turkey has been witnessing a growth revival, which is augmenting growth in the Turkish tyre market. Presently, there are 19 major international vehicle producers operating in the Turkish market, including Ford, Toyota, Renault, Fiat, Chrysler, Opel, Honda, Hyundai, Peugeot, MAN, Mercedes, Isuzu and Mitsubishi. These players are operating through joint venture partnerships with domestic companies, direct investment and license agreements.
According to a recently published report by TechSci Research, “Turkey Tyre Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2019”, the Turkish tyre market revenues are forecast to grow at a CAGR of around 9% during 2014-19. This growth would be majorly backed up by increasing demand for tyres from passenger car and commercial vehicle segments. Though the growth trajectory, especially for passenger car segment, was hit by adverse internal economic conditions in 2012, which consequently affected the demand for tyres in the country, the passenger car sales witnessed a bounce back in 2013 with a robust double digit growth, which consequently accelerated growth in the Turkish tyre market.
“Motorization rate in Turkey is estimated to be around 173 vehicles per thousand people. This low motorization rate coupled with increasing per capita income of Turkish consumers promises a bright future for the country’s automotive sector. Also, being a member of European Customs Union, Turkey also provides seamless access to many neighboring markets along with several benefits such as cancellation of quota limitations and mutual exemption of import and export tariff between Turkey and other European members. Due to these benefits, automotive exports from the country continue to rise. More than three-fourths of passenger cars produced in the country were exported in 2013. This increasing automotive production is eventually contributing to the demand for tyres from the OEM sector in Turkey”, said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research-based global management consulting firm.
Presently, it is being observed that Marmara region in Turkey accounts for a majority of the country’s tyre demand. Around one-third of the total tyre sales originate from this region. Istanbul, the most populated province in terms of automobiles in this region, is the main reason behind the dominance of Marmara region in the Turkish tyre market. Other regions with major volume share in automobile sales include Central Anatolia region, Aegean region and Mediterranean region.
