ICRA: Elevated input prices to pressurize tyre industry margins, domestic demand could grow by 7-9%

Published on: 1:12 pm

ICRA estimates the domestic tyre demand to grow by 7-9% in FY2023 supported by recovery in OE demand across most product segments and steady growth in replacement volumes. Factors like gradual easing of supply related constraints in passenger vehicle OE segment, improving growth momentum in Commercial Vehicle OE segment and stable replacement volumes are expected to support domestic demand growth during this period.

OE demand was affected by weak 2W sales, lower PV production due to supply-side issues (semiconductor chip shortages), and high base limiting growth in tractor demand. Replacement demand was strong across product segments although there were headwinds in Q3 FY2022 in commercial segments due to factors like inflationary costs trends, weak rural sentiments, base effect etc. Read more
