In recent months, the global tire market has experienced noticeable fluctuations in pricing, influenced by multiple factors across the supply chain.

Raw Material Costs

The prices of key raw materials such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and carbon black have shown moderate increases. This has directly contributed to higher production costs for manufacturers.

Shipping and Logistics

International freight rates remain unstable due to tight vessel availability and rising fuel prices. For importers and exporters, this continues to be one of the most significant cost components.

Currency Exchange Impact

The strength of the US dollar against other major currencies has also played a role, especially for importers in emerging markets who are facing additional financial pressure.

Regional Demand

Demand in South America, the Middle East, and Africa has remained strong, particularly for commercial truck and off-road tires. Meanwhile, the North American and European markets are showing stable but cautious purchasing behavior.

Outlook

Overall, the tire industry is expected to maintain steady growth, but buyers should prepare for short-term price adjustments due to raw material and logistics factors.
