Markets were relatively stable in Q3, but remain weak in the year to date

November 6, 2025

Tyres Europe has published its members’ replacement tyre sales figures for the third quarter, and the first three quarters of 2025.

Adam McCarthy, Tyres Europe’s Secretary General, said, “Tyre markets were generally stable in the third quarter of 2025, although demand in the Truck & Bus tyre segment remained weak. Data for the first three quarters shows tyre volumes generally lower than the same period in 2024.

In the Consumer segment, sales were flat in the third quarter and are down slightly in the year to date. Demand for car tyres is clearly shifting from summer tyres toward all-season and winter products.

The declines experienced in the Truck & Bus tyre segment during the second quarter continued into the third quarter. Year to date sales are down slightly, reflecting subdued economic activity across the region and an increase in imported tyres.

In the Agricultural tyre category, volumes are still far below pre-Covid benchmarks, although they were stable in the quarter.”
