UK tyre markets remain stable despite pressures - Conti: UK PCR pare totals 33 million units in 2011

摘要

Continental estimates that the 2011 UK car, 4x4 and van tyre market will equate to 33 million units despite estimates from other leading tyre manufacturers earlier in the year suggesting demand could have been in for a double digit drop. Speaking at the tyremaker's annual market trends briefing in London, executives from Conti's UK operation (Continental Tyre Group Ltd) explained that the market has "remained static, with a number of evident developments, such as an increase in the part worn market due to the scrappage scheme." Continental now estimates that part worn sales equate to 2 - 3 million units a year, with sales of these used products estimated to have increased by up to 50 per cent of the traditional and widely accepted 2 million units annually figure.
