Car Tyre demand in 2025: resilience is confirmed for ≥18'' segment

Demand for ≤17'' still weak in key Standard regions

Global car tyre market

≥18" Regional car tyre market in 2025

Mitigation Plan on US Duties

Pirelli in US: key figures

  • >20% of group Revenues, mainly High Value
  • >50% from Mexican plant, ~ 40% from Brazil & EU
  • Georgia high-tech plant producing ~0.4 mln tyres

Pirelli operations in the US

  • North America HQ in New York
  • Operations HQ in Atlanta
  • MIRS tire manufacturing plant in Rome, Georgia

2025 Contingency Plan in case of duties

  • Higher Imports from Brazil and increase in local capacity
  • Commercial policy review based on inflationary expectations
  • Cost cutting

In case of application of tariffs, Pirelli will leverage both on exogenous factors (Forex) and the contingency plan to mitigate the impact.
