The European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers Association (ETRMA) recently published sales figures for tyres in the third quarter of 2014.
During this term, ETRMA says that sales stabilised on the levels of 2013, after the strong performance of the first half of the year; but with the exception of Agricultural tyres, wherein the market decreased.
Nevertheless, the first nine months show a general increase in sales, which are supported by the increase of new car registrations.
ETRMA also presents the sixth edition of its statistics booklet, which gives an overview of the tyre and rubber industry, including sales, production and trade, for the year 2013.
