France, the founding member of European Union (EU), has evolved as a major economy in the region. However, due to the impact of Eurozone crisis, automobile sector in the country could not deliver to its potential during past five years, as can be assessed from the fact that the country’s automotive production declined during the same period. Moreover, passenger car production, the segment which dominates the overall tire market in the country, also declined during the same period. This declining automobile production translated into a slowdown in France tire market. However, with improving macroeconomic scenario, tire market in the country is expected to witness growth revival over the next five years.

According to TechSci Research report, “France Tyre Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2020”, tire sales in France are anticipated to cross 50 million units by the end of 2020. Expanding fleet size, rising industrialization and changing consumer behaviour are few of the major factors forecast to support growth in France tire market during 2015 - 2020.
