How many tire enterprises are there in China? 200？ 400？ Or 600? The position of domestic tires in the global market can only be understood but not explained? When the domestic tire enterprises publicized, they would say that the quality is good and the price is cheap, and the foreign countries also seemed to be threatened, shouting that the unfair competition was repeatedly double anti.

However, after nearly 10 years of reshuffle, most enterprises have been buried underground. However, China's tire market is getting better and better, and its investment in the tire industry is expanding. Some tire enterprises established after 2000 have gained a place in the international tire market with their unremitting efforts and struggles. We will continue to build the reputation and image of tire enterprises and move forward on the world stage. Who will stand in the first echelon in the future?

 

Strong recovery momentum

At present, China's tire market has shown a momentum of recovery, but the major tire enterprises around the world are uncertain about the trend of the Chinese market in the second half of the year and are worried about this.

Many tire manufacturers said that the Chinese government would not give up the anti epidemic strategy of "dynamic zeroing", which may affect the Chinese tire market until the end of the year.

In the first half of 2022, the resurgence of the domestic epidemic will have a significant impact on China's tire market, especially in the second quarter. The market data included in Michelin's interim report illustrates this in detail.

In the first half of this year, the sales volume of original passenger car tyres in China totaled 54.2 million, basically unchanged from the same period last year. However, the market fell into a "game of two quarters": sales in the first quarter increased by 6% year on year, while sales in the second quarter decreased by 6% year on year.

In terms of replacement market, the sales volume began to decline in the first quarter, with a year-on-year drop of 10%. With a 23% drop in the second quarter, the sales volume of replacement tires in the first half of the year was 54.9 million, a 16% drop over the same period last year.

The truck and bus tire market also experienced a similar decline. In the first half of this year, the sales volume of the original truck tire market in China was 9 million, 53% lower than the same period last year, and 53% and 50% lower respectively in the first and second quarters.

The replacement sales of passenger car tires dropped 22% to 16.6 million, down 25% year on year in the first quarter and 18% year on year in the second quarter.

However, with the easing of epidemic restrictions, the market rebounded sharply in June. It is reported that many tire enterprises are looking for ways to continue to operate in the crisis.

Who are the rising stars?

1. Race wheel tire

Sailun tire was established in 2002, which is the golden period for the rapid development of domestic tires. This year is the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Sailun. Although the establishment is not long, the sales have been soaring. Some people say that racing tyres have eaten up the welfare of the development of domestic tyres, but many people have not seen what the domestic tyres have experienced in the past 20 years?

Although the whole market developed rapidly, some people said that they would sell tyres as long as they were produced. However, after 2008, foreign trade barriers to domestic tires became higher and higher. After 2012, there was overcapacity. In recent two years, many tire enterprises were overwhelmed by the pressure of environmental protection.

In the past 20 years, Sailun has grown from an unknown new star in the industry to a leading enterprise leading the development of the industry. Sailun cooperated with the top ranked rubber universities in China, and paid attention to the R&D team since its establishment; When many tire enterprises haven't realized the crisis brought about by the double reverse reaction, Sailun began to lay out its own overseas market. Sailun is the first tire enterprise in China to set up a factory overseas. These are the strengths of racing tyres and have nothing to do with the times.

In recent years, the global tire market has been reshuffled. It is against this background that Sailun Tire is expected to join the echelon of the global tire market with the continuous efforts of its senior products, brands and channels.
