Loss of European and American tires will face greater "stress"

On February 20, 2012, the China Rubber Industry Association announced the statistical analysis of the rubber industry in 2011. In 2011, the economic operation of the rubber industry was basically stable, achieving substantial growth throughout the year, and the export growth rate showed a continuous downward trend. The China Rubber Association expects that the increase in exports in 2012 will continue its downward trend last year. With the gradual implementation of the EU REACH Regulations and the EU Tire Labeling Act , which will be formally implemented in November 2012, the domestic tire companies exporting to the EU will face increasing pressure on safety and environmental protection. Due to political considerations during the election year, the US’s attitude towards China’s trade has become more and more tough. The implementation of China’s tire special protection case that may be implemented in 2009 may be postponed. It is expected that the trade friction situation in the future will escalate, and China’s tires may once again be tainted.

In this regard, the inspection and quarantine department made three suggestions. The first is to pay attention to the new trend of trade protection for China's export of tires, strengthen communication with other countries, maintain trade fairness and freedom, and prevent some countries from following up on trade frictions on tires. At the same time, it will increase the countermeasures against trade friction and safeguard the legitimate interests of tire exporters. The second is to increase support for ethnic tire companies from policies, funds, etc., and promote tire brands of their own brands to become bigger and stronger. Thirdly, related companies must continue to deepen the “turn way and structure”, increase the ratio of high-value-added green tires and other products, and stabilize the market share of products; they should adopt mergers and reorganizations, optimize the layout, eliminate backwardness, promote industrial restructuring, and improve the quality of development. And benefits.
