Estimates put 2021 global tire unit output at 40–45 million units lower than in 2020. Light vehicle production, key to OE tire sales, is running 6% to 9% below pre-pandemic industry forecasts for 2021–22. Shipping container cost in late 2021 was about eight times more than in early 2020, compounding the effects of rising raw material prices.
This report maps out the global tire manufacturing supply chain from raw materials sourcing, through manufacturing, distribution, to the end consumer. It identifies current and potential disruptive factors and potential adaptations and changes over the next five years. With a focus on technology developments and other practices (e.g. predictive analytics) this report takes a look up and down the supply chain and identifies how it is adapting to and dealing with supply chain challenges. The evolution of mobility, as well as concerns such as pricing and availability of inputs such as natural rubber and petroleum, and geopolitics are also discussed.
