  • Domestic Market: Holds over 50% market share in motorcycle tyres and tubes, 20% in agricultural tyres, and 25% in TBR tyres.

Footwear Segment: Retail Network Expansion

SRVI’s footwear segment saw a 45% increase in CY23, driven by a 56% YoY growth in local sales, supported by the expansion of its retail network from 152 stores in Dec 22 to 232 stores in Dec 23.

  • Apparel Range: Initial positive response from selected stores in Lahore, with plans to expand to 11 additional cities.
