Tire & rubber industry

Article Abstract:

Market conditions and economic advancement for both the tire industry and the rubber industry appears to be good for 1997 through 2002 but Timeliness ratings for investments will be Average or Below Average. Increased foreign trade, mergers and annexations, cost reductions and competitive pricing will improve market conditions for both industries but the consistency of these situations is questionable. Investment in these industries, as a whole, is not recommended, although a few individual companies offer some good prospects.
