There are many factors shaping the global tyre market. Over the last 20 years,
the popularity of sports utility vehicles, minivans and cross-over vehicles
has steadily increased, prompting manufacturers to redesign their tyres.
Indeed, the increasing segmentation of the car market has led directly to a
more complex segmentation of the tyre market. In response, manufacturers have
focused on ways in which to improve tyre dimensions, weight, rolling
resistance, noise and fuel efficiency. Social environmental awareness and
advances in tyre technology will also play an increasingly important role in
the definition of tomorrow' s tyres.
