Tyre replacement sales: consumer market turns negative in the first half of the year
The European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA) published its members’ replacement tyre sales figures for the second quarter, and the first half of 2025.
Adam McCarthy, ETRMA’s Secretary General, said, “The second-quarter developments confirm the challenging economic and geopolitical environment, which continues to undermine market confidence and investments. Only the Motorcycle & Scooter segment benefited from a decline in non-pool volumes.
The trends in the second quarter are reflected in the results of the first half. In the Consumer segment, a 4% decline in the second quarter resulted in slightly negative volumes in the first half. For both the Truck and Agricultural tyre segments, the second quarter essentially tracked the trend in the first three months.
As a result, except in Moto & Scooter, volumes are below those achieved in the first half of 2019 (before the Covid crisis): Consumer -2.8%, Truck -14.3% and Agricultural tyres -47%.”
