US Tire Industry Network reported recently that the world's 75 largest tire manufacturers' total sales of tires in 2011 increased by 22% from the previous year, most of which was stimulated by rising raw material costs, allowing higher wholesale sales prices Continuation caused.
However, unit sales during this period showed low or no growth, and major tire manufacturers reported most of their recent financial statements. According to the "Top 75 Global Tire Manufacturers" ranking, the consolidated sales of these listed companies amounted to 187.5 billion U.S. dollars.
After the tire industry stabilized in 2008 and 2009, the fiscal year 2011 showed a 20% increase for the second consecutive year. This growth continued until the first half of 2012. In the middle of this year, some of the world’s largest tire manufacturers reported double-digit revenue growth, although unit sales were not satisfactory.
For the fourth consecutive year, Bridgestone topped the list of 75 tire companies. Despite the impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake in May 2011, the Japanese company's tire sales still increased by about 7% year-on-year to $28.5 billion.
Michelin continues to be ranked second, with Bridgeburg, which is worth $27.4 billion, and sales growth is about 12%. The third-place sales of Goodyear grew nearly 21% to $20.5 billion, which is twice that of the fourth German mainland group.
Pirelli, Sumitomo Rubber, Yokohama Rubber, and Hankook Tire maintained their rankings from the 5th to the 8th in the list for the past few years.
Among the top 12 companies, China Taiwan Magisi International/Zhengxin Rubber Company jumped to 9th place with sales of 30% to US$4.26 billion, which replaced Cooper Tire. South Korea’s Kumho Tire Company regained its 12th place ranking, surpassing China’s Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Company.

If you combine sales considerations, Giti Tire's ranking will be the 10th, between the Margis International and Cooper tires. But it should be noted that about 12% of GajahTunggal’s sales of US$1.24 billion last year, or about US$150 million, should be attributed to Michelin because Michelin owns 10% of its shares.
Similarly, Bridgestone’s sales growth was due to its 43% stake in Turkey’s BRIS?A/Bridgestone-Sabanci Tire Company (ranked 34th with sales of US$896 million). And its 19% stake in Finland's Nokia Tire Corp. (18th for sales of $1.83 billion).
