Outlook on Demand & Supply: India • Drivers of demand – Industrial & freight activity - Personal purchasing power - Economic growth • Three avenues of demand Original Equipment Replacement Demand Export Demand • Supply can be met by domestic players • Face competition from imported tyres
40% 53% 7%
Market drivers : India • Robust growth rate in all vehicular segments over last 5 years • Improved capacity utilization by all major manufacturers(>80%) • Decrease in custom and excise duties to nullify increase in raw material costs and increases OPM • Low labour cost : partially offset by low productivity • Improved credit profile and loan serviceability
Market challenges: India
• The Radialisation challenge- Radial vs. Cross ply Tyres Global average- 65% Positives
India -2%
Why use Radial tyres?
Negatives
Longer life -100,000 kms
Comparatively Higher Cost
Better fuel efficiency – 5 to 8%
Marginally poorer overloading
Lower aspect ratio- Better control
• Other challenges –Poor roads Misperception that they are unsuited for India Difficulty to integrate in old vehicles Lack of radial manufacturing capabilities
Market challenges: India
• Tubeless tyres in India
Good puncture resistance and much better safety Account for only 10% of passenger car tyre sales Primarily affected by a) Poor roads leading to rim damage b) Lack of automatic machines for mounting and unmounting c) Poor quality service leading to leakages and poor life
Market challenges: India • Over dependence on the commercial vehicle segment Globally-Passenger transport accounts for 33% of product mix India- 81% of tyre market is for commercial vehicles • Export issues Low radial tyre production capability hampers export potential • Hurdles in becoming global player
Scope and challenges • Industry poised for a very good growth rate • More J.V’s with world market leaders- better technical know-how and quality • Growth in automobile sector – cumulative effect on tyre industry • Increasing trend in capacity utilization – better output • New and uncharted territories as export markets.
Contd…. • Increasing productivity – both labour and machinery • Competition from other developing markets • Increasing raw material costs – will effect OPM
