Mexico tyre market grew at 19% CAGR 2009-2012
Tyre market revenues in Mexico grew at around 19 per cent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2009 and 2012, according to a report published by Research and Markets.
The combination of Mexico’s relatively cheap skilled labour, proximity to the United States, membership of NAFTA and 12 free trade agreements with world’s growing economies such as EU, Japan, Canada, and the United States, are said to have made the country “an ideal production centre for automobiles and components”. However the report also suggests that the automobile population in Mexico is underperforming with only 275 cars per 1,000 people as of 2012.
