Every region is unique despite the spread of globalization. This report about the Japanese tire (tyre) market attempts to quantify the market, pick out its main characteristics and show how it is changing.

The report starts with a brief summary of the regional background, defining it and quantifying the key economic statistics such as GDP, population, economic growth and the size of the vehicle production industry and the vehicle parc.

It then quantifies the size and growth of the tire (tyre) market and the major segments within that market, emphasizing the demand and supply equation.

There is a profile of all tire manufacturers based in this region and a review of all tire (tyre) manufacturing plants (although Bridgestone, Sumitomo, Yokohama and Toyo merit a profile of their own in Section 4.) This is followed by a review of tire (tyre) retailing activity in the region and a final section on the trends that are taking place.

Profiles include:

	World Rank
Bridgestone*	2
Sumitomo *	6
Yokohama *	7
Toyo *	11
Inoue Rubber	55

These companies have a full and detailed profile in Section 4

This report is already prepared in draft form but will be individually completed for each purchaser in order to incorporate the latest news and information. In addition it may be possible to include additional information on request. The report will cost $50 and will be sent within five working days of the order.

An Apology
Half the world uses the word "tire" whilst the other half uses "tyre". Unfortunately search engines don't realise that they mean the same. In order to be recognised by the search machines we have had to resort to the irritating strategy of duplicating the two words. Sorry!
