In early September 2011, the dust that had been initiated by the United States and lasting two years was settled, and Chinese tire companies became the most injured group under anti-dumping sanctions.
Due to the decrease in the number of cheap tires imported from the United States, US tire companies have raised their prices and tire prices have started to rise. At the same time, many tire companies in the United States have seized the market space left by the withdrawal of Chinese tires, and continue to expand production capacity.
At the beginning of September, the dust that was initiated by the United States and lasted two years was settled. The result was not surprising. Under the anti-dumping sanctions, Chinese tire companies became the most injured group.
The data shows that in 2010, the United States imported tires from China fell by 23.6% compared with 2009, and further decreased by 6% in the first half of 2011. China's tire industry has become one of the industries with the highest frequency and the highest frequency of anti-dumping in international trade.
Price increase
The decrease in the number of Chinese-made cheap tires produced in China has led to an increase in the prices of local tires.
In September, six American tire manufacturers announced price increases, leading to an increase in the prices of 84 types of tires in the United States and Canada. Bridgestone Americas has announced that its tires for cars and light trucks/SUVs will increase by 8% from November 1. The price adjustment is not limited to replacing the tires, but also includes the original tires, involving Bridgestone, Firestone and various other brands of tires.
From January 1 onwards, Tire Americas also raised the price of tires. Its US sales of tires for cars and light trucks/SUVs rose 8.5%, involving tires from Continental, Universal and other brands.
In addition, Michelin North America also announced that since October 3, the sales prices of saloons, light trucks/SUVs to be sold in the United States and Canada will be increased by 9%, while the price of the China Meridian Meridian will be increased by 8%. This time the price adjustment is limited to the replacement of the tire market, involving Michelin, Bailu Chi, Eugene Elva and other brand tires. The company also announced that since October 3, the price of its tire tread rubber has been increased by 8%, while the price of agricultural replacement tires has also been increased by 6% since November 1.
Seize "blank space"
The special case for tyre protection forced Chinese tyres to withdraw part of the market share from the United States. The left blank area created a space for the development of American tyre enterprises.
Bridgestone said recently that Bridgestone’s US tire business unit (BATO) has decided to spend US$211 million to expand its radial tire production capacity at its Aiken plant in South Carolina.
As early as this July, BATO had stated that it would expand the production capacity of the Aiken factory to produce 4,750 tires per day. BATO hopes to achieve this goal in the first quarter of 2013. Recently, BATO plans to further expand its tire production capacity to 8,000 a day and achieve a target of 37,750 tires per day by the third quarter of 2015.
Another American tire company is also expanding tire production in the United States. The Continental Tire America (CTA) Illinois factory received a grant of $735,000 from the local government. This grant will be used to build the factory's infrastructure and create at least 440 new jobs.
In June of this year, CTA announced that it had invested USD 224 million to expand its factory. After the expansion of the plant, the annual production of tires of this plant is expected to increase by 4 million. The CTA has received US$22 million in funding from the Illinois government.
In return, CTA promised to ensure that the current total number of 2,486 full-time employees in the factory is maintained within three years. Within three years, the CTA must recruit at least 440 new employees. In addition to the standard benefits, the employees' annual salary must not be less than 37,000 US dollars. After the new employees join, the CTA will ensure the maintenance of the total number of 2,930 full-time employees within five years.
