Jiangsu tire exports rebounded sharply

According to statistics from the Jiangsu Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, in 2010, Jiangsu exported a total of 29,000 batches of tires, 96.11 million, and 136.116 million US dollars respectively, an increase of 13.5%, 40.3%, and 13.8% over the same period of the previous year, respectively. Both the amount and the amount achieved double-digit growth.

Jiangsu's export of tires are car tires, truck tires, motorcycle tires, bicycle tires, and a small amount of industrial vehicle tires, construction machinery tires, RV tires, agricultural tires, special tires.

In 2010, Jiangsu exported tires to the United States, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Russia, the Middle East, Africa, and 174 countries and regions. Affected by the United States tire special protection case, the share of tires exported to the United States decreased significantly, and the EU has risen to be the largest export market.

Affected by the international financial crisis, the export of tires in Jiangsu fell sharply in 2009. Compared with 2008, batches fell by 9.9%, the number dropped by 25.2%, and the amount decreased by 22.8%. According to analysis by industry insiders, the rebound in tire exports in 2010 was mainly due to: First, the impact of the global economic crisis is gradually receding, foreign markets are showing signs of recovery, and international orders have grown significantly; second, large export enterprises of Jiangsu tire companies are multinational companies that can pass. Adjust the origin of export tires to respond to the US tire special security case; third is to adjust the export price of tires, and share the high tariffs with the US distributors for special protection cases to stabilize the U.S. market; fourth is to further broaden the expansion of Africa, the Middle East, Tire export markets in Russia and other regions use a diversified strategy to reduce and defuse market risks. Fifth, Jiangsu Tire Enterprises optimizes the product mix, adjusting products from middle- to low-grade to medium-to-high-end products, and relying on technological progress to increase the proportion of energy-saving, environmental-friendly, and intelligent products. , the production of high value-added tires as the main direction, and enhance international competitiveness; Sixth, Jiangsu Inspection and Quarantine Bureau launched a timely appointment inspection and quarantine, open up green channels, try a 24-hour work system and a series of convenient measures, and actively follow the national quality inspection The Export Administration issued by the General Administration of Industry Products enterprise management approach ", the tire export enterprises classified management.

However, behind the rapid growth of exports, the current situation facing the tire industry in China is still severe.

First, exports are challenged by trade barriers, technical barriers, and environmental protection barriers. In addition to the United States, more than a dozen countries and regions, including the European Union, Brazil, Argentina, and India, also submitted anti-dumping and countervailing investigations to Chinese tire exporters.

The second is overcapacity and the product structure is irrational. With the development of the Chinese automobile industry, the tire industry has been continuously expanding its production capacity. However, the tire industry has blindly expanded its production capacity, and its products are mostly low-end, resulting in excess capacity.

Third, the rapid increase in the prices of major raw materials and the substantial increase in corporate costs. It is understood that natural rubber is the main raw material for tire manufacturing, and China's natural rubber supply is short of, and about 70% depends on imports. Due to the combined effects of the recovery of the international market, rising domestic demand, international capital speculation, changes in the weather at the rubber production site, and lower import tariffs on natural rubber, the average price of natural rubber imports has risen steadily since the end of last year. However, due to the impact of drought, natural rubber, the main producing area of ​​natural rubber in Yunnan province, has cut production by more than half, and prices have soared. At the same time, the supporting enterprises such as radial and steel wires have also been affected by conduction.

In response to the above unfavorable circumstances, the inspection and quarantine department proposed the following suggestions:

Organizations are united. For the United States tire special security case, shows the diversity of trade barriers, not just technical barriers to trade. We must give full play to the role of the WTO Coordination Office and the advantages of China's overseas business organizations as frontier positions and informational tentative factors. We must form a government, local, association, and enterprise linkage, close communication, daily tracking, collection, and information analysis. Information and other work, build a "two-way service" of the industry platform in order to achieve a rainy day, take preventive measures. Relevant departments must increase bilateral economic and trade interactions, properly handle trade frictions through equal dialogue and consultations, and establish early-warning mechanisms to fight for good results.

Accelerate the construction of domestic tire testing grounds. Energy saving and emission reduction is a common problem faced by today's auto manufacturers, and tire energy consumption can account for 20% of the total energy consumption of the vehicle. Therefore, as an important part of auto parts, the energy saving of tires is of utmost importance. The two major export markets of the European Union and the United States have successively proposed tire fuel efficiency label laws and regulations. On the surface, this regulation is a label issue. The substance of the legislation concerns the data on tire safety, environmental protection, and energy consumption, and the production technology of exported tires in China. , inspection standards, testing methods, etc. put forward higher requirements, especially in the detection of equipment and facilities, tire wet skid resistance and rolling noise and other test items, all need to be tested in the outdoor test field simulation, and China has no one test The conditions of the field can meet the requirements. The tire testing ground is an important means for the development of new tire technologies and new products, and it is also an important symbol for a country to reflect the level of tire technology and products. It is imperative to build a domestic tire testing ground.

Optimize product structure, rely on technological progress, and enhance international competitiveness. To achieve long-term development, the tire industry must integrate resources, rely on technological progress, improve product quality and technical services, and develop and produce high value-added tires as the main direction of attack, promote export tires to middle-grade development, and form fists with independent intellectual property rights. Products, nurture and grow their own brands, and increase their competitiveness in the international market.

Optimize the structure of industry development. In recent years, China’s export trade has grown rapidly, but many industries are still extensive models of “two highs and one low” (high pollution, high energy consumption, and low profits). This trade method is also the main target of foreign trade barriers. China's export trade must be transformed to a "benefit-oriented" approach. It is necessary to speed up the optimization and adjustment of the industrial structure and work hard on brands, deep processing, and high added value.

Support the expansion of domestic companies overseas. At present, the top ten foreign-funded tire companies in the world have basically two to three joint ventures or wholly-owned enterprises in the Mainland, and local tire companies rarely go out. In addition, the proportion of China's tire exports is as high as 40%, and raw materials and the market are on the outside, making the tire industry not only affected by sluggish international demand, but also weighed down by international trade protectionism. We should speed up the development of emerging markets in foreign countries, implement a "diversification" strategy, and reduce the risk of excessive concentration of tire export markets.

Establish our country's technical standards and regulations as soon as possible. At present, Japan and South Korea are also brewing non-mandatory standards for low fuel consumption tires. This year and next year, the non-compulsory tire labeling system has been vigorously introduced to control the wetland grip performance, durability level, fuel efficiency and noise level of tires, and to launch tires. The rating system aims to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. China must speed up the integration of national standards with world standards and accelerate the promotion of the adoption rate of international standards. It can equalize the rights of importing and exporting countries and strive for mutual recognition of test results in the future. It will continue to improve the construction of standardized organizations and improve the effectiveness of services. Strengthen the basic work of standardization, strengthen the study of standard argumentation and inspection methods, rectify the inspection market, further standardize the supervision of product inspection agencies, and reduce the burden on enterprises.
