ETRMA 2017 Q2 tyre replacement sales down

ETRMA.Tyre replacement sales figures of the members of The European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA) for the first half of 2017 have been released.

This year’s second quarter saw a significant slowdown as compared to the first quarter, with a negative performance for all segments particularly in the consumer segment.

When looking at the first six months, only a slight flexion can be seen for consumer tyres and agricultural tyre, whilst the other segments remain positive – and even significantly so, when looking at truck tyres (+7%).
