Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru, and Colombia are among the key countries in SAM. The SAM automotive industry is booming due to increased credit supply, economic prosperity, and low-interest rates. SAM is predicted to be one of the fastest-growing automotive tire aftermarkets in the automobile industry. Due to increased sales of passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and two-wheelers, the industry is expected to witness a considerable rise in demand for tires. To satisfy customer demands, car owners in the region are turning to low-cost options, and the market is mainly reliant on tire imports. Governments of major economies have aided the change in the tire manufacturing sector and the automotive industry. The US exports many vehicle parts, especially tires, to Colombia, Peru, and Argentina. In the previous five years, the Chilean tire market witnessed excellent development. The industry's expansion is enticing manufacturers to grow their tire & other auto component manufacturing bases, and this trend is projected to continue in the regional market over the next five years. Furthermore, these three nations are Free Trade Agreement (FTA) partners with the US, which improves market access for the US by removing possible market entrance restrictions. The US has a competitive edge in SAM markets because of the FTA cooperation, product quality, accessible warranties, and geographic closeness. The International Trade Administration (ITA) recognized the prospects for automotive aftermarket providers in SAM. It awarded the Auto Care Association a three-year matching grant of little under US$ 300,000 to help with operations aimed at increasing exports to that region.
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 SAM automotive tire aftermarket market, which is expected to grow at a decent CAGR during the forecast period.
