Global sales of high-inch tyres accounted for 38% of entire tyre sales, which is now up 4 percentage points compared to the same period last year. 

Sales of replacement tyres also increased as the market demand in the U.S. and Europe continued to improve. China likewise showed a rise in the demand of replacement tyres along with healthy sales of original equipment (OE) tyres, indicating an upturn in the production of #automotive vehicles. High-inch tyres in China increased 13 percentage points to 40% YoY.

The company is also continuing to secure partnerships with global carmakers to expand the number of OE contracts, as demonstrated by the recent announcement to supply its ultra high #performance tyre, the Ventus S1 evo 3 for the Porsche 718 Boxster and the Porsche Cayman. #hankook is furthermore actively expanding partnerships for #ev fitment, as demonstrated by the agreement to supply tyres factory-installed on Porsche’s first high-performance electric sports car, Taycan, as well as the NIO ES6 and EC6, flagship models made by China’s fast-growing electric vehicle brand. 

In 2021, #hankook seeks to maintain the growth momentum of its high-inch tyre sales in major markets and add OE partnerships with an already robust portfolio. Growth in the electric vehicle tyre sector will also be one of the primary concentrations, as the company resumes to pursue greatness in the #ev tyre innovation as well as future technologies and solutions that transform consumers’ imaginations into reality. In the midst of this growth, #hankook will continue to pace forward in pursuit to be the technology leader that bestows positive influence on the community and the environment respective of a premium brand.
