Astutus Research
Astutus Research exists to support decisions that must stand up to scrutiny - in executive meetings, boardrooms, and long-range planning cycles.
In markets shaped by disruption, volatility, and structural change, confidence doesn’t come from opinion. It comes from trusted data, transparent methodology, and deep domain expertise.
That’s what we provide.



Astutus Research is a specialist provider of data, insight and forecasting for the global tire industry and the wider mobility ecosystem.
We cover the complete tire lifecycle: from production and distribution through to real-world usage, replacement, disposal, and recycling. Our work is grounded in one core belief:
Forecasting is not a reporting exercise. It is a strategic capability.
Our role is to give insights and analytics teams the clarity, confidence and foresight they need to guide business decisions - without surprises.

Our clients use Astutus Research to:
Insight you can trust when the stakes are high.

The result: fewer surprises, less time reconciling numbers, and more time spent on insight.
