DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/v2276n/passenger_car) has announced the addition of the "Passenger Car Tires Market in the US 2015-2019" report to their offering.
The report, 'Passenger Car Tire Market in the US 2015-2019', has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. It covers the market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
The tire market in the US is one of the largest markets in the world. The US is one of the leading importers of tires and a hub for a large number of vehicle manufacturers.
According to the UNECE, in 2011, the US had 403 passenger cars per 1,000 people and 6,561,643 km (4,077,216 miles) of total road network. Also, it had about 126 million passenger cars in use in the same year, which indicates the commercial viability of the automotive industry and the associated markets in the country.
The tightening of tire disposal laws is seen as a major trend in the market as it gives way to an entire new industry of recycled tires. Scrap tires can be recycled to make asphalt, shoes, ducts, floors, carpets, and even alternative fuels. The US is ranked among the top countries concerned about sustainable consumption. The reason for its high ranking is the combined effort of consumers' increased awareness and a series of rules to be followed by manufacturers, including those in the tire industry. Recycling tires is mandatory by law and the manufacturers' responsibility.
According to the report, despite the supply of crude oil being higher than the demand, OPEC, the world's largest oil cartel, has not cut production, which has led to a rapid fall in oil prices. Fuel prices, especially in oil producing countries, such as the US, are at their lowest in years. This fall in fuel prices has led to an increase in on-road and off-road driving. With an increase in the miles being driven, passenger car tires, are expected to wear out sooner, therefore leading to a steady need for the replacement of worn-out tires. With higher demand for replacements, the growth rate of the market is likely rise.
