This time last year, Tyres & Accessories reflected on the changes witnessed in the sources of commercial vehicle tyre imports into the 27 countries of the European Union and the United Kingdom (EU27+UK) since the EU’s tariffs regime and the change accelerant of the Covid pandemic. In 2017, China was supplying 65 per cent of all imports in this market, which at that point measured a little more than 7 million units. With Turkey the source of around 10 per cent, and Korea and Japan supplying around 5 per cent each, only around 15 per cent of CV tyre imports were sourced outside these four countries.
