fleet in Japan. Automobile fleet in these regions is expected to expand further over the next 4-5 years due to high population growth and economic concentration. “Presence of
huge passenger car fleet and increasing inclination towards environment friendly tire technologies is leading to the development of fuel-efficient and green tires in Japan. Growth
in online tire sales is also driving the market as E-retailing provides customers with advantages such as fast delivery period, brand comparison, lower price as compared to the
offline tire outlets, and these factors are attracting an increasing number of consumers towards opting for online purchase of tires,” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with
