The growing preference for used cars among middle-class and lower-income people is also contributing significantly to the market's growth because of the rising need for fast maintenance, repairs, and tire replacement. Also, the expansion of the tire market across Nigeria is being positively impacted by the quickly expanding trade activities, i.e., the depiction of skyrocketing imports of tires & autos from countries, such as the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands. However, limited manufacturing capacity and technological limitations may limit the market growth during the forecast period.
