According to a recent report published by TechSci Research, “United
States Tyre Market
Forecast and Opportunities, 2020” with the production of over 11.66 million
vehicles in 2015, the automobile market of the country ranked the second
largest market across the world. This huge production figure of the country’s
automobile sector has significantly contributed to the demand for tires in the entire
United States.
As per TechSci Research, during 2015, Goodyear was not only the prominent
player in the United States, but also held a worthy position in the country’s
tire market. By catering to the demand of the largest vehicle segment in the
country, i.e. passenger cars, the company is
now targeting other vehicle
segments in the US. By launching varied tire sizes for the OTR vehicle segment
of the country, the company is likely to expand its share in the United States
tire market in coming years.
