Mixed Trends
In the truck and bus segment, Asian tyre imports reached 430,100 units between January and August, representing an increase of 22.9% compared with the same period in 2025, ADINE reports. Vietnam was the leading supplier, accounting for 41% of the total.
Imports of agricultural and forestry tyres declined by 1.4% to 173,250 units, with India maintaining its leading position, representing 65% of the total. Meanwhile, imports of construction and industrial maintenance tyres declined by 26.5% to 76,650 units, 60% of which originated in India.
In August, Asian truck and bus tyre imports decreased by 3.1% year on year to 48,720 units, with Vietnam accounting for 41% of the total, according to ADINE.
Agricultural and forestry tyre imports declined by 14.1% to 12,960 units, with India representing 71% of imports. Construction and industrial maintenance tyres recorded a sharper decline of 57.8% to 7,580 units, with India remaining the main country of origin.
Óscar Bas, Executive Secretary of ADINE, commented: “ICEX data for August show that Asian tyre imports continue to show cumulative growth in the truck segment, even though August itself saw a decline in this category. We will need to monitor developments over the coming months to determine whether this is a one-off adjustment or a longer-term trend.”
Bas also highlighted changes in the origin of imports, noting that the Asian supply landscape was evolving amid an uncertain trade environment. He cited anti-dumping measures and the anti-subsidy investigation concerning certain tyres originating in China, alongside other factors affecting international trade.
