Sales of tires in replacement market grew 23.8%, sales in original equipment/OE market (car factories) climbed by 54.4%, and exports rose by 25.4%.
The country’s economic growth could be made as reference for the market prospects of tires in the country in the coming years.

A prediction of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) sets the country’s economic growth at 6.2% for 2011 with the world’s car production forecast to grow 8.9% to 64 million units. Based on the predictions, the country’s production of tire is expected to grow faster to follow the growth of car and motorcycle industries in the country and in the world.
PT Bridgestone Tire Indonesia produced 13.9 million units of tires in 2010 or around 27.6% of the country’s total production of 50.4 million units. Sales of tires on the domestic market reached 5.6 million units. In 2011, Bridgestone sets to expand its production capacity by 10% to 14.4 million unit a year. The expansion of the production capacity is to keep pace with growing demand from fast growing automotive industry and from export markets in Southeast Asia, Oceania, Middle East and Africa.
In the same year PT Gajah Tunggal Tbk produced 13.7 million units of car tires with domestic sales at 5.1 million units and exports at 9.9 million units. Gajah Tunggal, which has a car tire production capacity of 24.3 million units also plans to expand its capacity for radial tires from 30,000 units to 45,000 units per day in 2012. Its production capacity for motorcycle tires is also to be expanded from 37,000 to 105,000 units per day. The company has built new factory in Tangerang, Banten, but the company’s capacity utilization is only 80% not yet up to expectation because of delay in the procurement of new machines as a result of the global financial crisis. PT Gajah Tunggal has established cooperation with the France-based tire maker Michelin to produce 5 million units of radial tires a year.

At the same time supplies from the world’s largest producers including Thailand and Malaysia declined on weather anomaly. According to the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), rain falls in some production centers had been too high affecting production until April 2011.
The International Rubber Study Group (IRSG) predicted that the world’s and for natural rubber in 2011 reached 11.15 million tons as against production of 10.97 million ton - or a deficit of 181,000 tons. In 2010, deficit in the world market supply reached 446,000 tons.
