· Tire companies lost 20% last year

Recently, it was learned from the China Rubber Industry Association that in 2015, the main economic indicators of the Chinese tire industry fell across the board, and the company's loss was as high as 20%.

According to the data, in 2015, among the 40 tire companies included in the association's statistics, 31 domestic enterprises had 6 losses, the loss amounted to 447 million yuan, and 9 foreign-invested enterprises had 2 losses, with a loss of 135 million yuan. The overall loss is 20%.

Shi Yifeng, secretary-general of China Rubber Association Tire Branch, said that although the prices of basic raw materials such as rubber remained low last year, tire prices continued to fall, completely offsetting the positive impact of falling raw material prices.

It is reported that the domestic tire industry has shown the phenomenon of “three highs and three lows” with high inventory, high risk, high degree of homogenization, low price, low profit and low operating rate.

From the main economic indicators of the China Rubber Association, we can see that in 2015, the output value of tires decreased by 14.62%, the value of export delivery decreased by 16.52%, the sales decreased by 15.37%, and the profit decline rate was as high as 22.22%.

China Rubber Association data show that in 2015, the average monthly operating rate of all steel tire enterprises was about 65%, down 6% year-on-year; the average monthly operating rate of semi-steel tire enterprises was about 70%, down 10% year-on-year. However, according to Tire World Network, the operating rate of many tire companies is far from this level.

In addition, due to the elimination of backward production capacity, environmental relocation and capital chain breakage, six tire companies (factories) closed or closed down in China, and nine companies' tire projects were suspended due to funding, environmental impact assessment and land issues.
