According to industry sources, the formulation of market access conditions for the tire industry has been completed, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology may issue the policy in the near future. Fan Rende, president of the China Rubber Industry Association, recently said in an interview with the media: “The entry threshold, in addition to the requirements on the scale of production, will also require the product variety that encourages and restricts development.”

Newly built companies should have tire recall capability

It is understood that due to the forthcoming introduction of the new policy, the China Rubber Industry Association has suggested that governments at all levels will no longer approve low-level tire product repetitive construction projects, including similar foreign-funded projects, but must strictly support the approval of energy conservation, environmental protection, safety, and intelligence. , brand project construction.

Access thresholds should be improved. In this regard, Li Jiawei, Institute of Petroleum and Chemical Industry Planning, suggested that the total project investment should not be less than 700 million yuan, the asset-liability ratio of major shareholders should be within 50%, and the bank's credit rating is AA; the production of bias tire products, car radial tire products shall be prohibited No longer on the 65 series of products, the radial tire is no longer on the inner tube products; new companies should have the ability to tire recall system.

Due to China's current tire export channels, low access conditions, weak supervision, and export market confusion, the China Rubber Industry Association recommends that the government should strengthen the management of export companies and export trading companies, eliminate some of the poor product quality and export The low-cost, unreliable companies and distributors have the right to self-government in foreign trade. Some tire export companies even determine the cost based on the amount of the order, and the quality of the product will inevitably be affected. Most of these companies are almost unwilling to invest in technology research and development. Their production capacity is small and their management is chaotic. They should be eliminated as soon as possible.

Strengthen Export Management and Reduce Export Ratio

Experts suggest that the new tire industry policy objectives should include controlling total volume, adjusting structure, and encouraging technological R&D and innovation. The goal of structural adjustment is to encourage tire companies to merge and reorganize, and join upstream and downstream companies to further increase industrial concentration and optimize the variety structure, industrial layout, and organizational structure. There should be a national tire engineering and technology research and development center and a tire testing ground, which will provide a platform for basic research in the domestic tire industry system. For the development target of China's tire industry, experts believe that the total amount of growth should be controlled too quickly to prevent the tire industry from blind investment and low-level redundant construction, and strengthen the management of exports.

Li Jiawei suggested that by the end of 2015, domestic tire production will be controlled within 450 million, automobile tire exports will account for 35% of production, and the radialization rate will be no less than 90%. Among them, passenger tires have all achieved meridianization and no internalization. The meridian rate of light truck tires is greater than 75%, and the meridian rate of trucks is more than 85%.

Fan Rende said that at present, tire exports account for more than 40% of total production, and they should pay attention to the needs of the domestic rural market. They must adjust their overdependence on exports to the domestic market, diversify foreign markets, and expand Africa, South America, and Eastern Europe. Middle East, ASEAN and other emerging markets.

Reshuffling within three to five years

It is understood that at present, there are about 500 to 600 manufacturers of tires in China, 300 to 400 in Shandong Province, accounting for about 60%, and some in the south. Jilin Province has a small portion. Experts suggest that with the introduction of the new policy, the tire industry will face remediation in 3 to 5 years, and it is the whole industry.

Industry insiders believe that the future market condition of the tire industry is a competition between strengths. The market entry conditions for the tire industry in the country will indicate that the entry threshold will increase, and that the future tire manufacturers will have to convert to joint-stock systems with powerful tires. Manufacturers merge weak and small tire manufacturers. This kind of integration takes about 3 to 5 years. With the increase of merger and reorganization and the access threshold for the tire industry, the number of tire manufacturers will inevitably decrease.
