Near the end of 2012, under the joint efforts of all parties, China's tire industry resisted pressure from both international and domestic sources and achieved remarkable results, but it also highlighted some problems and deficiencies. The media took stock of the “Top Ten News Events” of the domestic tire industry this year and recorded a bit of history of industrial development.

Event One: The end of the United States tire "special security case"

The United States has implemented three years of "special protection measures" for China's tires, which was formally terminated on September 26 this year. China's tires for American-made cars and light trucks have finally taken off the "sweeping spell" that has been worn for three years, and can be renewed with 4%. The normal tariff entered the United States. The United States is an important export market for Chinese tires. This news is undoubtedly a major positive for Chinese tire exporters.

Event Two: EU Tyre Labeling Act Formally Implemented

From November 1 this year, the European Union's "Labeling of Labels" Law was formally implemented. All car tyres, light truck tyres, truck tyres and bus tyres sold in the European Union must be labelled to identify the tyre's fuel efficiency, rolling noise and wet grip level. Tire products that do not meet the grades specified in the regulations or are not labelled may not be sold within the EU. This provision will have a greater impact on Chinese tire exporters, especially SMEs.

Event 3: The price of tire raw materials fell sharply

Since the beginning of this year, natural rubber prices have been falling all the way. The main reasons for this are the expansion of the planting area in the rubber-producing countries in Southeast Asia, the start of rubber production for new-planted rubber trees, and the sluggish demand in the downstream. The rubber-producing countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia have repeatedly introduced measures to boost the price of rubber, but the effect is not significant. Industry insiders predict that the price of natural rubber around the world may still remain stagnant next year.

Event 4: Anti-dumping of Chinese tires in emerging countries

Vietnam, Colombia, India, Argentina, Egypt, Brazil... Since the United States launched the “special protection case” for Chinese tires, many emerging countries have also started eyeing the high-growth Chinese tire industry, temporarily anti-dumping, anti-subsidy and other trade events. An endless stream. This has also become a “catalyst” for domestic tire companies to develop overseas export markets and seek overseas construction.

Event 5: The tire company market is not good

The growth rate of the tire market in China has been severely declining. In the context of the increase of only 2% in the first 10 months, the growth rate of the efficiency of backbone tire companies has reached more than 30%; in the lament of the stock market, the operating income and profit of tire listed companies It is also counter-trend. According to the analysis, the driving force for the growth of tire companies' benefits mainly comes from two aspects: First, the rapid development of radial tires and high-end tire market; Second, the price of major raw materials fell sharply.

Event 6: The launch of the largest tire test field in China

On November 16th, the Kunshan Magisi Tire Testing Site in Jiangsu Province was officially opened. The test site is currently the largest tire testing site in China, with a total area of ​​860,000 square meters. It was built by Zhengxin Rubber Company with more than three years of investment and investment of 150 million US dollars. It is understood that at present, many well-known automobile manufacturers across the country have reached a cooperation agreement with the test site.

Event 7: Tires are first included in the car recall

The State Council’s Office of Legal Affairs issued the “Regulations on Recalling Defective Auto Product Management (Draft for Soliciting Opinions)” in February this year. On October 10, the ordinance was passed at the 219th executive meeting of the State Council and announced that it has been implemented since January 1, 2013. The regulations stipulate that: “If a defect occurs in the tires of the truck-mounted equipment at the time of leaving the automobile, the manufacturer of the automobile is responsible for the recall. If the tire of the unequipped truck is defective, the manufacturer of the tire is responsible for the recall.” This is the first time that domestic tires have been used. Being included in the recall of automobiles will hopefully improve the chaotic situation of "three nos."

Event 8: "Green Tire" standard setting work started

The China Rubber Industry Association is developing the "Green tire self-discipline" and is expected to be completed by the end of this year. It strives to have the conditions for starting the "non-mandatory classification of green tires" by the end of 2013. The standard was formulated to deal with the "green barriers" such as the European Union's "Labeling Law" on tires. The purpose is to comprehensively promote the development of the "green tires" industry in China in terms of raw materials, process technology and product standards, and strive for the "12th Five-Year Plan". "The end of the realization of "green tires" industrialization. The specific goal of the standard is that about 50% of the radial tire production enterprises have the ability to produce "green tires", and 25% of the company's "green tires" output exceeds that of ordinary radial tires.

Event 9: The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology set up a tire re-use industry "door threshold"

In August this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology formulated the Conditions for Admission of Tire Retreading Industry and the Conditions for Admitting Waste Tire Comprehensive Utilization Industry. The purpose is to implement the “Circular Economy Promotion Law”, regulate the development order of the waste tire comprehensive utilization industry, and promote enterprise optimization. Upgrade, strengthen environmental protection, improve the comprehensive utilization of resources, technology and management, and guide the healthy and sustainable development of the industry. The two “conditions” have become the “thresholds” for entry of tire retreading and used tire processing enterprises, which is conducive to the standard and orderly development of the industry.

Event 10: Local Tire Enterprises Launch Overseas Layout Strategy

With the rise of international trade barriers and the demand for low-cost raw materials, domestic tire companies have started to deploy overseas markets. According to statistics, as of the end of August this year, several companies such as Saiwan, Hangzhou Zhongce, and Shandong Aogerui have built tire factories in Southeast Asia. In addition, triangular tires and other companies will also "touch the tentacles" to the Russian market. The overseas market layout indicates that domestic tire companies have begun to actively respond to international trade barriers and have taken the initiative to expand into new markets.
