Impact of COVID-19 on Argentina Tire Market

COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the Argentina tire market. Lockdowns, supply chain interruptions, and reduced consumer spending led to a temporary decline in tire demand. Vehicle production and sales were severely affected, resulting in decreased OEM and replacement tire sales. The automotive industry struggled with production halts and reduced capacity. However, the market displayed resilience, adapting to the "new normal" with a focus on safety and sustainability. As economic activities gradually resumed, there was a rebound in tire sales, especially for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The pandemic underscored the importance of robust supply chains and the need for adaptable market strategies.

Prolonging Wars and Escalating Geopolitical Tensions in Oil Rich Regions

The raging war between Israel and Hamas, a Palestine-based militant and nationalist organization, sends shockwaves across various industries, particularly oil & gas, transcending geographic boundaries and affecting businesses globally. The conflict between Israel-Hamas has been a longstanding, deeply entrenched geopolitical issue. On October 07, 2023, Hamas, in a surprise and heavy attack, struck Israel with thousands of rockets and infiltrations killing more than 1,100 people. In response, the prime minister of Israel declared war against Hamas and anticipated that the war would be ‘long and difficult.’ The United States has sent its warships and aid to Israel and stated that its citizens were killed in the war.

Also, the war in Middle East will affect industries across verticals and regions. Oil & gas is one of the adversely affected industries by the war. The Middle East, including Israel, is a vital hub for oil production and transportation. Any disturbance in the Middle East region instantly raises concerns about oil supply disruptions, leading to increased oil prices worldwide. For example, The World Bank anticipates that the crude oil prices would spike to a range of USD 140–157 a barrel in the long term, if the war continues to escalate and spreads to other regions. This spike in oil and energy costs will have a domino effect on multiple industries. As fossil fuel is one of the main raw materials for the production of tires, companies and end users in the Argentina tire market face the brunt of rising fuel prices. Volatile and higher fuel prices could increase the cost of tires, resulting in the declined demand for tires affecting their sales and market growth.

Argentina Tire Market – By Tire Type

Based on tire type, the Argentina tire market is bifurcated into Radial and Bias segments. The radial segment is expected to hold a higher share in the Argentina tire market during the forecast period by tire type. This trend is driven by multiple factors, including automakers' increasing preference for radial tires due to their advantages in fuel efficiency and durability compared to bias-ply tires. Notably, the market witnesses growing demand for eco-friendly and fuel-efficient "green tires" that emit fewer greenhouse gases. The rising sales of commercial vehicles, higher replacement rates, and the growing focus on sustainability further fuel the demand for radial tires. The competitive market for electric vehicle tires fosters innovation and a variety of product options. Also, online sales, catalyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic, offer consumers a wider range of tire brands, competitive pricing, and convenience.
