Australia is experiencing a changing tyre market

The Australian tyre industry is currently experiencing shifting fortunes due to digital disruption and the rise of electric vehicles.
➡️ Sailun's investment in Australia's Mobile Tyre Shop underlines a growing focus on hybrid online and off-line fitting services.
➡️ Simultaneously, Nexen Tire is targeting the SUV and pickup truck market with its Roadian ATX tyre, emphasizing performance in diverse Australian driving conditions. Additionally, Bridgestone maintains its position as the "Most Trusted Tyre Brand" for the 12th consecutive year in Australia.
➡️ The increasing popularity of electric vehicles is being driven by demand for specialized tyres, with sellers capitalizing on the higher replacement frequency and cost associated with EVs.
➡️ Whilst National Tyre & Wheel's recent acquisition of Tyres 4U has positioned them as a major wholesaler in Australia and New Zealand.
➡️ Finally CAR Group's exit from its Australian tyre business (including tyreconnect and tyresales.com.au) indicates potential challenges ahead in the digital tyre sales market sector. Plus research is ongoing to address environmental concerns related to tire wear and emissions.
