South Korea is one of the fastest growing economies and is also one of the key investment markets for the automotive industry.

South Korea is also one of the largest exporters of automobiles in the world. Major global auto companies such as Hyundai, KIA, GM and Renault have set up their production facilities for passenger cars and commercial vehicles in South Korea. South Korea is an export driven market as majority of the automobiles and tyres produced in the country are exported to North America, South America, Africa, Asia and Middle East. The increasing production of automobiles in the country is driving the demand for tyres.

According to South Korea Tyre Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2018, the tyre market in South Korea is expected to grow at the CAGR of 5% during 2013-2018 in terms of revenue sales.
