Every region is unique despite the spread of globalization. This report about the North American 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.
Details are given of all manufacturing plants and in addition there is a profile of all tire (tyre) manufacturers based in the region (although Goodyear and Cooper merit a profile of their own in Section 4.)

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!
