In 2023, the number of enterprises in the rubber tyres and tubes manufacturing sector in France stood at 22. Looking ahead, the forecast reveals a clear declining trend. By 2024, this is expected to reduce to 19, a 13.6% decrease. The sector will shrink further to 16 enterprises in 2025, marking a 15.8% drop. In 2026, a decline of 18.8% leads to just 13 enterprises, and by 2027, numbers fall to 10, a 23.1% reduction. By 2028, only 7 enterprises are forecasted, showing a 30% decrease. The compound annual growth rate over the five-year period indicates a substantial downward trend.

Future trends to watch for:

Adoption of sustainable materials and eco-friendly technologies could influence enterprise survival.
Potential consolidation in the sector, with mergers and acquisitions as a strategic move.
Rising demand for electric vehicles may change the market demand dynamics for traditional rubber tyre producers.
Progress in automation and digitalization may alter operational efficiencies, potentially affecting the number of enterprises.
