The world tire industry after more than 100 years of development, industry concentration has reached a high level. In the past 10 years, the 75 tire sales accounted for 97% of total global sales. 2000-2009, represented by Bridgestone, Michelin, Goodyear Tire "Big Three" in sales, accounting for more than 50% of the total global tire sales.
Pattern of the tire of the "Big Three" have been formed in the past 20 years, the status is stable. However, with the development of other tire companies grow, especially in breakthrough growth of the continent, Yokohama, Kumho and other "second tier" tire "Big Three" of sales accounted for rendering a declining trend.
The status of the domestic tire industry
In 2009, the State Council required by the auto industry revitalization plan to accelerate the restructuring and revitalization of the automobile industry, the implementation of an active consumer policy, stability and expansion of consumer demand for cars. And the introduction of the revitalization measures including the development of the automobile consumer market, promote the restructuring of the automotive industry, the support of independent innovation and transformation, the implementation of new energy car strategy ", including the automotive industry. In 2009, China's automobile production and sales reached 13.79 million and 13.64 million, an increase of 48.30% and 46.15%, respectively, compared to 2008, the world leader.
China's huge auto production capacity and market demand, the tire industry to produce a very attractive capital from various quarters. The attention of the majority of Chinese consumers tire far less attention to the automotive products, but this does not hinder the rapid development of the tire industry. In recent years, the world's top 10 tire giant have all set up factories in China, China has become the world tire factory.
At present, the domestic rubber tire companies can basically be divided into three categories, the first category is based Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Kumho, Hankook, Continental, Cooper, Pirelli, Toyo and Giti represented by established world tire giant tire manufacturer. This type of enterprises by size, market share and is divided into two factions, on the one hand is Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear representatives occupy the high-end market, the rest for the mid-market.
The second category is the gradual evolution of state-owned tire companies to the domestic backbone production enterprises, including Shanghai tire, Hangzhou Zhongce, Triangle Tire, Linglong tires, Chengshan Tire, Henan Fengshen, Guizhou Tyre, South China Tire, Double Star Tire, Yellow Sea tires is a new tire. In recent years, the sudden emergence of private enterprises, mainly in the area and the surrounding area of Dongying, Shandong Province dozen tire companies, such as Xingyuan, Insein, Shengtai Jinyu, Prudential, Yongtai, Wanda, Yinbao.
Since 2011, by the development of China's automobile industry slow down, slow recovery in the international economy, as well as the impact of the raw materials, rising production costs and other factors, the slowdown in the economic growth of the rubber industry, the growth rate dropped significantly compared with the previous year. According to the Rubber Industry Association member companies key statistics, the growth rate of the industry's major economic indicators of the current prices of industrial output value, sales income and export delivery value, showing monthly steady slowdown trend, the industry overall economic operation smooth.
China's automotive industry in the 2011 production and sales growth fell sharply in 2012, has been restored. This will tire industry produces significant pull effect. In recent years, China's vehicle ownership to maintain a rapid growth rate throughout 2011 an increase of 17.73 million, as of the end of 2011, the national vehicle fleet of 225 million. Which car 106,000,000. The continued growth of the vehicle population, China's tire industry will provide a larger domestic market, promote the continued growth of the rubber industry.
Global tire companies in the top 75 rankings of 2006, China's mainland has 16 companies on the list, Triangle Group of Shandong Linglong Rubber Group, Qingdao Doublestar Tire, Chengshan Group 6 the list, accounting for 75 strong 8%. The Triangle Group column 14, ranking the first of the 16 companies in the country. 2010 top 75 global tire companies, Shandong has 10 companies on the list, accounting for 75 - 13%, accounting for the country (mainland) 22 75 - 45%. Domestic tire companies in the top 10, Shandong Province, accounting for 5. Therefore, the "Eleventh Five-Year" period, the tire industry in Shandong Province's status at home and abroad has been greatly improved.
Into the 2nd quarter of 2012, the domestic automobile market prices gradually pick up, the steady rise of production and marketing. January to June, China's total production of automotive 9,529,200, an increase of 4.08%; sales of 9,598,200, an increase of 2.93%. Demand-pull, tire market showed a relatively strong recovery trend.
