Despite being an emergent market, Africa currently has the fastest growing tire market in the world. The growth of the market can be attributed to increasing vehicle fleet size, rising number of passenger car vehicles in the major countries, and expanding network of dealers and distributors of tires in the region. Moreover, growth in GDP, increasing discretionary income and rising population are key factors further supporting the demand for tires in the African market. Passenger cars remain the largest vehicle category leading to a considerable demand generation for tires. Radial tires dominated the demand over bias tires and channel partners including dealers, distributors, exclusive outlets are the preferred mode of supplying tires in the regional market, as of 2019.
Aftermarket or replacement tire sales hold more than three-fourth of the regional tire market due to the absence of high dependence of regional automobile market on imports. Increase in tire demand in the region has led to stiff competition among manufacturers to capitalize on the growth potential in the market. European brands dominated the African market accounting for lion’s share in several countries in the region. However, Chinese and other Asian manufacturers have started to penetrate the market and are gaining traction on the back of price competitiveness. Chinese players have been outperforming the American and European suppliers.
A substantial share of unaccustomed products has penetrated the local market in countries like Kenya. Tires imported in the country attract duties of ~35%. Increase in demand for used vehicles in the African countries has also propelled the demand for replacement tires in the region.
