 South Africa is the most politically stable and business-friendly country in the African
continent. The growing purchasing power of the consumers has been contributing to an
overall increase in vehicle sales. Moreover, growth in business hubs, industries, mining
and exploration activities, etc., are further backing an overall increase in vehicle sales.
The constant rise in the number of vehicle fleet size on the road has been acting as a
major growth driver for the tires. Moreover, the rising discretionary income of the
customers, rising availability of low-cost tires for replacement, the introduction of low-
end vehicles boosting the motorization rate, etc. are few of the major growth
proponents for the tire industry in South Africa.
The prices of tires are registering an upward trend in
South Africa on account of the rising cost of raw
material including natural rubber, carbon black, steel
cord and nylon cord, etc.
The price of crude oil – the most important basic
building block for synthetic-rubber input materials
such as butadiene and styrene and also for carbon
black and various other chemicals has been very
volatile in the impacting the final price of tires

 South Africa (SA) boasts of the robust automobile industry in the African continent, with increasing
exports and domestic demand. The country has designed a master plan for its automotive industry viz.
The South African Automotive Masterplan to 2035. As apart of the plan, the country is planning to
transform itself into a manufacturing hub for automobiles, not only for the African continent but also for
Latin America, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific.
 The plan is anticipated to come into effect in 2021. The automotive masterplan includes growing vehicle
production in South Africa from 0.68% to 1% which is estimated to increase the domestic vehicle
production to 1.5 million units by 2035. In 2017, total vehicle production increased from 600,008 units
to 601,178 units (as reported by NAAMSA).

 Thereby, inducing the demand for tires from OEMs. With the growth in licensed vehicles on the road, the
demand for replacement car tires is also surging. In December 2018, the total registered cars on South
African roads exceeded 7 million units mark, registering a CAGR of around 2% during 2014-18. All these
factors are contributing to an increase in the demand for car tires. Therefore, the industry share of
passenger car tires is projected to grow during the forecast period.
Light Commercial Vehicle
 Light commercial vehicles are majorly used in the logistics industry of South Africa for inter-city or intra-
city transportation. The growth in logistics, food, and beverages, and the e-commerce industry are the
major end users of the light commercial vehicle. Light trucks are the preferred mode of transportation of
perishable products and e-commerce vendors. There are numerous modern logistics parks across South
Africa, and new developments continue to add to the country’s stock.

Passenger Car:
 The automobile industry is the largest manufacturing segment
that contributed to around 30% of the country’s GDP in 2018.
 The country is a manufacturing base for several global giants
such as Toyota, VW, Nissan, Hyundai, Renault, BMW, Mercedes,
etc. As of March 2019, around 53 car brands were offering
more than 3,200 models. In 2018, the country manufactured
around 321,097 passenger cars. Out of these, around 68% of
them were exported to numerous geographies.

OEM Replacement
Source: MarkNtel Advisors
 As of December 2018, there were around 12.46 million vehicles registered in the country. In the same
year, the annual auto production of the country stood at around 0.6 million. Therefore, the country’s
tire industry is dominated by the replacement of tires. The trend is expected to gain a greater foothold
during the forecast period as vehicle sales in the domestic market is exhibiting a rise. The Government
has envisioned a long term strategic plan to boost auto manufacturing by 2035. However, the plan is
likely to have an infinitesimal impact on altering the demand dynamics i.e. OEM or replacement.
 The replacement demand for tires has been outpacing the OEM due to a vast customer base, with
rising vehicle ownership rates. Therefore, with this improving vehicle population, the demand for
replacement tires is expected to outperform OEM during the forecast period as well.
According to the
International
Organization of Motor
Vehicle Manufacturers,
the motorization rate of
the country was around
22% in 2014. This has
improved marginally
touching around 24% in
2018.

Radial Bias Source: MarkNtel Advisors
 In 2018, the South African tire industry is governed by the radial tires. The major factors that can be attributed to such large share in the
overall market are narrowing the gap between the prices of both radial and bias tires, the growing presence of Chinese manufacturers,
rising demand for better performance and durability.
 The presence of Chinese players has been playing a transformational role
in the adoption of low-cost radial tires in passenger car tires and light
commercial vehicles. However, the adoption of radial tires remained
slower in MHCV and OTR segment. Due to improved sidewalls, the bias
tires still command considerable share in the OTR segment of the
country. However, the trend is set to reverse during the forecast period.

 The South African tire industry is driven by “All-Season tires”. Considerable difference in the prices of all Season and summer tires
coupled with low awareness among the vehicle owners has been acting as the major growth detriment for the growth of Summer tires.
No major change in the sales trend is expected during the forecast period in the price conscious tire market of South Africa. The unit
sales of Summer tires are projected to grow to a feeble 3.30% by 2024.

 The e-commerce industry of South Africa has been registering an exponential pace.
In 2019, the online sales of products are expected to exceed USD3 bn. However, the
online sales of the tires in South Africa are in its embryonic stage in 2019. Despite a
strengthening e-commerce industry, dealers and distributors remain the most
preferred medium for the purchase of tires.
 As the major market is captured by the Chinese manufacturers in 2019, the online
presence of these tire suppliers remains negligible. Moreover, the customers prefer
the purchase of tires by evaluating the options with touch and feel in sales outlets.

 The passenger car tire market of South Africa is registering an uptick on account of rising demand for replacement of tires. The growth in
the imports of used cars, app hailing taxi service providers such as Uber, Bolt, Yookoo Rides, etc. are catalyzing the sales of passenger
car tires. In 2018, the fleet size of Uber exceeded 5,000 passenger cars while Yookoo had a fleet size of 150 cars and growing. Moreover,
the introduction of low-cost car variants catering to the middle-income group of the country has been pushing the sales of car tires in
South Africa. A decline in sales of passenger cars in recent years has resulted in a slowdown in the demand for tires from OEMs.
However, the replacement demand continues to surge at a considerable pace. With the focus on boosting the manufacturing and tapping
the export potential, the Government has been inviting foreign investments, providing sops to the manufacturers to set their bases in the
country. In 2019, Nissan planned to invest around USD213 million to manufacture cars, production 30,000 additional cars per annum.
While BAIC plans to export around 60,000 cars from its manufacturing facility in South Africa.

 The sedan is the most preferred passenger car in the country. According to
NAAMSA, of the total cars sold in South Africa in 2018, around 72% were
Sedan, followed by SUVs and other compact cars and Bakkies.
 The SUVs are gaining traction among the customers in South Africa on
account of the introduction of several luxury and sporty variants from the
OEMs such as Toyota, BMW, Audi, Nissan, Mercedes, etc. The traction for SUVs
is growing among the working age group population of between 25 years to
40 years. It is expected that sales will surge during the forecast period.
Eventually, pushing up the share of SUV tires in South Africa

manufacturers in the country have been constantly increasing their
manufacturing/utilization capacity. Despite a slowdown in demand from the domestic
market, the manufacturers are leveraging the industry potential in Northern Africa, Middle
East, and Latin America. Therefore, the demand for tires from OEMs is exhibiting an increase.

 The summer tires are registering a gradual rise in imports on account of growing demand from high-end luxury car manufacturers and
vehicle owners. However, the demand is anticipated to remain subdued during the forecast period as well. In 2019, it was found that the
price difference between an all-season premium price range tire and the summer tire ranges between USDX to USDX.
 This substantial price gap has been acting as a major hindrance in the penetration of such performance tires in the passenger car
segments of the country. Moreover, the major chunk of vehicle owners prefers low and economy priced tires. Therefore, the traction
towards summer tires is negligible.

 South Africa features among the largest mineral producers across the globe. In 2019, the country has the world’s biggest reserves of
platinum and manganese, and with large deposits of gold, iron ore, coal, and chrome. For past six, the sales of minerals mined in South
Africa grew at a CAGR of around 5.3%. These developments are anticipated to act as a major growth driver for OTR tires.
USD92 billion
Planned investment of Government for
mega infrastrtucre development in
Gauteng.
 The country plans to utilize its 18 bn tons of coal reserves, 6,323 tons of platinum, 5.5 tons of
chromite, 3,611 tons of palladium reserves for the economic development. Therefore, the
demand for OTR vehicles such as excavators, graders, loaders, etc. has been consistent.
Moreover, the country is undergoing an infrastructure modernization and transformation.

 Earth Moving Equipment (Excavator, Grader, Loader, Bull Dozer, Trenchers, Road roller) tires formed a major share due to the
greater application of these equipment. In 2018, around 65% of the earthmoving equipment tires sales were accommodated by
excavators alone due to its greater application in mining and road & highways construction. According to the Southern African Asset
Management Association, the sales of constriction and agricultural equipment (Tipper & Tractors) declined in South Africa during
2014-17 considerably due to a decline in area under cultivation, which negatively impacted the tire sales also. Although the sales
revived in the first quarter of 2018, however, it further declined in the latter half of 2018. The sales are expected to follow the same
trend during the forecast period as well. Limited application of material handling equipment (Forklifts, Cranes) and low wear and tear
are expected to contribute to the minuscule demand for material handling equipment tires in South Africa.

 South Africa does not have the manufacturing or assembling base for OTR vehicles, apart from tractors, tippers, etc. Majority of the
country’s demand for OTR vehicle is fulfilled by the imports from China, Europe, Japan, and the United States. Therefore, OEM demand
for OTR tires is negligible and is expected to remain so during the forecast period as well as no leading manufacturers has announced
its plans to set up a manufacturing base for such equipment.
 Mahindra and FAW trucks are the only local manufacturer of OTR vehicle in the country (as of March 2019). Mahindra has set up a
tractor assembling unit, while the FAW Group is manufacturing Tippers in its Coega plant. However, the company also imports tractors
and Tippers to meet its requirements.

The growing purchasing power of the consumers has been contributing to an overall increase in vehicle sales. Moreover, growth in business hubs, industries, mining and exploration activities, etc., are further backing an overall increase in vehicle sales. The constant rise in the number of vehicle fleet size on the road has been acting as a major growth driver for the tires. Moreover, the rising discretionary income of the customers, rising availability of low-cost tires for replacement, the introduction of low- end vehicles boosting the motorization rate, etc. are few of the major growth proponents for the tire industry in South Africa. The prices of tires are registering an upward trend in South Africa on account of the rising cost of raw material including natural rubber, carbon black, steel cord and nylon cord, etc. The price of crude oil – the most important basic building block for synthetic-rubber input materials such as butadiene and styrene and also for carbon black and various other chemicals has been very volatile in the impacting the final price of tires

In December 2018, the total registered cars on South African roads exceeded 7 million units mark, registering a CAGR of around 2% during 2014-18. All these factors are contributing to an increase in the demand for car tires. Therefore, the industry share of passenger car tires is projected to grow during the forecast period. Light Commercial Vehicle  Light commercial vehicles are majorly used in the logistics industry of South Africa for inter-city or intra- city transportation. The growth in logistics, food, and beverages, and the e-commerce industry are the major end users of the light commercial vehicle. Light trucks are the preferred mode of transportation of perishable products and e-commerce vendors. There are numerous modern logistics parks across South Africa, and new developments continue to add to the country’s stock. 412.48 361.26 368.11 365.25 368.00 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019E Passenger Car:  The automobile industry is the largest manufacturing segment that contributed to around 30% of the country’s GDP in 2018.  The country is a manufacturing base for several global giants such as Toyota, VW, Nissan, Hyundai, Renault, BMW, Mercedes, etc. As of March 2019, around 53 car brands were offering more than 3,200 models.

In the same year, the annual auto production of the country stood at around 0.6 million. Therefore, the country’s tire industry is dominated by the replacement of tires. The trend is expected to gain a greater foothold during the forecast period as vehicle sales in the domestic market is exhibiting a rise. The Government has envisioned a long term strategic plan to boost auto manufacturing by 2035. However, the plan is likely to have an infinitesimal impact on altering the demand dynamics i.e. OEM or replacement.  The replacement demand for tires has been outpacing the OEM due to a vast customer base, with rising vehicle ownership rates. Therefore, with this improving vehicle population, the demand for replacement tires is expected to outperform OEM during the forecast period as well. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, the motorization rate of the country was around 22% in 2014. This has improved marginally touching around 24% in 2018.

The major factors that can be attributed to such large share in the overall market are narrowing the gap between the prices of both radial and bias tires, the growing presence of Chinese manufacturers, rising demand for better performance and durability.  The presence of Chinese players has been playing a transformational role in the adoption of low-cost radial tires in passenger car tires and light commercial vehicles. However, the adoption of radial tires remained slower in MHCV and OTR segment. Due to improved sidewalls, the bias tires still command considerable share in the OTR segment of the country. However, the trend is set to reverse during the forecast period.

The growth in the imports of used cars, app hailing taxi service providers such as Uber, Bolt, Yookoo Rides, etc. are catalyzing the sales of passenger car tires. In 2018, the fleet size of Uber exceeded 5,000 passenger cars while Yookoo had a fleet size of 150 cars and growing. Moreover, the introduction of low-cost car variants catering to the middle-income group of the country has been pushing the sales of car tires in South Africa. A decline in sales of passenger cars in recent years has resulted in a slowdown in the demand for tires from OEMs. However, the replacement demand continues to surge at a considerable pace. With the focus on boosting the manufacturing and tapping the export potential, the Government has been inviting foreign investments, providing sops to the manufacturers to set their bases in the country. In 2019, Nissan planned to invest around USD213 million to manufacture cars, production 30,000 additional cars per annum. While BAIC plans to export around 60,000 cars from its manufacturing facility in South Africa. Source: MarkNtel Advisors E-Expected, F -Forecast

By Units Sold (Percentage) Source: MarkNtel Advisors Earth Moving Construction & Agricultural Material Handling 2014 2018 2024F  Earth Moving Equipment (Excavator, Grader, Loader, Bull Dozer, Trenchers, Road roller) tires formed a major share due to the greater application of these equipment. In 2018, around 65% of the earthmoving equipment tires sales were accommodated by excavators alone due to its greater application in mining and road & highways construction. According to the Southern African Asset Management Association, the sales of constriction and agricultural equipment (Tipper & Tractors) declined in South Africa during 2014-17 considerably due to a decline in area under cultivation, which negatively impacted the tire sales also. Although the sales revived in the first quarter of 2018, however, it further declined in the latter half of 2018. The sales are expected to follow the same trend during the forecast period as well. Limited application of material handling equipment (Forklifts, Cranes) and low wear and tear are expected to contribute to the minuscule demand for material handling equipment tires in South Africa.
