Why tire price increase since 2020?
The continuous surge in tire prices is inseparable from the boost of natural rubber, which has been rising since last year, and has exceeded the 16,000 yuan mark.
Following this situation, the price of natural rubber has exceeded 18,000 or even 20,000 days。Tire prices will continue to climb as natural rubber prices rise.
The price increase of tires in 2021 will be global rather than local price increases such as China or the United States. Currently, tire prices including North America, the European market, and South Korea are rising.
Another major reason for the global increase in tire prices is the imbalance between supply and demand. Due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the capacity of tire factories other than China has dropped significantly. However, with the restoration of economic activity, the demand in the tire market has skyrocketed, and the capacity of tire factories has not Keep up.
In addition to the supply and demand relationship, the continued strength of raw material prices, especially rubber prices, is also one of the reasons for tire companies' price increases. It is not difficult to predict that global tire prices will be at a high level in 2021.
