(PRWEB) September 28, 2013 -- With the growing per capita income and automobile sales in Indonesia, the demand for tyres is increasing consequently every year in the country. Wide availability of rubber has also contributed towards making Indonesia as one of the biggest manufacturers and exporters of tyres around the world. The poor infrastructure and transportation problems in Indonesia remain a big hurdle for the emerging tyre market; however, the proximity to natural rubber production centers is encouraging the tyre companies to expand further in the country.
