China Rubber Products Sector Report 2016 4th Quarter

China is the world’s largest manufacturer of rubber products, including tyres, in which it has held the world’s top position since 2006, followed by the United States and Japan. The development of China’s automotive, construction, medical and footwear industries has been the major driver for rubber products demand. The sector’s leading products are tyres, accounting for more than half of the total revenue in 2015. The international tyre giants play an important role in the medium and high-end urban market. Competition in the tyre subsector is very fierce, which, coupled with the severe overcapacity, restricts the opportunities for new market entries. In 2015 China’s tyre subsector was seriously affected by the anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed by the U.S. and the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia, which led to tyre exports declining by 3.3% y/y to 5.46mn tonnes and production volume shrinking by 17% to 925mn tyres. In 2015 the export value of tyres was down by 15.8% y/y to USD 13.85bn. The slowing economy, falling rubber product prices and the sector’s overcapacity were the major factors that caused the slowdown of China’s rubber sector.
