The Indian Tyre Industry produced 736 lakh units of tyres (11 lakh tonnes) garnering
Rs. 19,000 crores in FY 07. MRF Ltd. was the market leader (22% market share)
followed closely by Apollo Tyres Ltd. (21%). The other major players were JK Tyre &
Industries Ltd (18%) and Ceat Ltd. (13%). The industry tonnage production registered
a 5 year CAGR of 9.69% between FY 02-07¬.

Truck & Bus tyre category (accounting for 57% of the tonnage production) recorded a
5 year CAGR of 7.85% (a rate slower than that of the industry) while Light
Commercial Vehicle (LCV), Motorcycle and Car tyre categories grew at 15%, 16% and
14% respectively (at rates faster than that of the industry). Off the road (OTR)
tyres (customized tyres which fetch a higher margin compared to other tyres)
category is growing at a fast pace. The OTR tyre category registered a 5 year CAGR
of over 20% in the last five years. Most of the top players are increasing their
capacity for the production of OTR tyres so as to improve their product mix, for
e.g. CEAT Ltd. is increasing its OTR capacity at its Nasik plant from 60,000 to
1,00,000 tyres by end 2008, JK Tyre & Industries is expanding its OTR capacity from
25,000 tyres to 42,000 tyres by end 2008, even smaller player like Falcon tyres is
making its foray into the OTR category.

The exports from the country clocked a CAGR of 13% in unit terms and 18% in value
terms in the period FY 02¬07. Most of these tyres that are exported are of cross ply
design. With radialisation catching up in some of these markets, the manufacturers
will need to graduate to radial tyres so as to protect their share in the export
market. Radialisation of tyres is still minimal in India. Only the car tyre market
has moved to radial tyres (95%) but in all other categories cross ply tyres are
still preferred. Poor road conditions, overloading in trucks, higher initial cost of
radial tyres and poor awareness levels in tyre users are the main reasons for the
non transition of the domestic market to radial tyres. However, going ahead,
radialisation in truck & bus tyres may increase due to government’s focus on
infrastructure development.

Research expects the tyre industry to register a tonnage growth of 9¬10% in the next
five years (FY 07¬12). The truck & bus and LCV tyre category are expected to
register a CAGR of 8% and 14% respectively (FY 07¬12).
