Tires play a critical role in reducing pollutants and improving fuel efficiency. In addition, leading tire producers and automakers have teamed up to develop next-generation environmental-friendly tires. Furthermore, the European Commission has established CO2 emission requirements for passenger cars and commercial vehicles, which is likely to encourage the use of green tires in the region's OEM and aftermarket.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe automotive tire aftermarket market, which is expected to grow at a decent CAGR during the forecast period.
