The US tires and rubber market recovered from a decline in 2013 to post moderate growth rates in 2014, 2015 and 2016. This can partially be accredited to crude oil prices which started tumbling in 2014 and reached their lowest point in late 2015/early 2016 before recovering again somewhat. This decline in oil prices had a positive influence on road vehicle sales, with one estimate suggesting that due to the fall in oil prices seven million more cars were sold in 2015 than if oil prices had remained stagnant. Increased activity in the automotive industry is always positive news for the tires and rubber market as it ranks as a major supplier to the automotive industry.
