1, natural rubber supply is greater than the demand for synthetic rubber overcapacity
In 2014, global rubber supply exceeded demand, prices continued to slump, and fell back to the level of the 2008 international financial crisis. At the same time, the domestic synthetic rubber production capacity is obviously excessive, the utilization rate of styrene-butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber equipment fell to 53% and 68%, respectively, and the isoprene rubber even fell to 15%.
At present, the price of natural rubber is still in the downward channel, and it is not yet stable. In the next two years, China will also have a new capacity of one million tons of synthetic rubber. This will seriously affect rubber production and traders, and affect the product prices and market conditions of downstream tire companies.
2. Announcement on the Interim Measures for the Management of Waste Tire Industry
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shall, in accordance with the requirements of the Interim Measures for the Administration of the Announcement of the Access to Waste Tire Comprehensive Utilization Industry, publicize the list of 21 waste tire comprehensive utilization enterprises (the first batch) that meet the requirements for access conditions, and publicize them to the society and industry. Enterprises solicit opinions.
This method makes clear provisions on how to apply for access to tire refurbishment and waste tire comprehensive utilization enterprises, and how the government and industry associations make public announcements. The aim is to implement the "Tire Renovation Industry Access Conditions" and "Waste Tire Comprehensive Utilization Industry Access Conditions", regulate the development of waste tire comprehensive utilization industry, and improve the comprehensive utilization level of used tires.
On December 23, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology publicized the list of enterprises (second batch) that meet the "Access Conditions for Tire Renovation Industry" and "Entry Requirements for Comprehensive Utilization of Waste Tires".
3. China Rubber Association issued "Technical Specifications for Green Tires"
On February 24th, China Rubber Industry Association issued the "Green Tire Technical Specification" and began trials on March 1. This is the first self-discipline standard for green tire industry in China. It defines the definition of green tires, puts forward the performance requirements of green tire products, the requirements for the use of raw materials, and recommends the green tire production technology to lay the foundation for China's next tire labeling system. basis.
At present, the China Rubber Association has established the "Green Tire Industrialization Promotion Working Committee" and the "Green Tire Technical Support Center", and will certify the tire testing organization and refine the green tire raw material guide to achieve the tire labeling system.
4. The Rubber Testing Professional Committee was established.
On March 27th, the Rubber Testing Professional Committee of China Rubber Industry Association was established in Qingdao, Shandong.
According to analysis, at present, China's rubber industry is in the historical stage of being stronger and stronger. The scientific and complete evaluation system, evaluation methods and evaluation methods have a significant role in promoting the scientific development of the rubber industry, which makes rubber inspection and testing techniques and methods. Instruments, equipment, and more and more attention. In this respect, the establishment of this professional committee has an extraordinary significance.
5, the United States to China passenger cars and light truck tires "double reverse"
On June 3, the United Steelworkers' Federation (USW) filed an application with the US Department of Commerce and the US International Trade Commission (ITC) to initiate anti-dumping and countervailing investigations on passenger cars and light truck tires from China. It is understood that this is by far the largest amount of trade remedy measures in the domestic tire industry.
As the country with the largest car ownership in the world, 50% of the US tires are imported, and it is also the most important overseas market for Chinese tires. Its imported tires account for about one-third of China's total tire exports.
6. The Ministry of Commerce terminated the anti-dumping measures against imported styrene-butadiene rubber
On September 8, the Ministry of Commerce stated that within the time limit stipulated in the announcement, the domestic industry of styrene-butadiene rubber did not submit a final application for review, and the Ministry of Commerce also decided not to initiate a final review. So far, since September 8, 2014, the anti-dumping measures applicable to imported styrene-butadiene rubber originating in Russia, Japan and South Korea have been terminated.
Styrene-butadiene rubber is an important raw material for the production of tires. Since 2009, China has imposed a high tariff of 38% on styrene-butadiene rubber imported from the above countries to limit the import of styrene-butadiene rubber and protect the domestic styrene-butadiene rubber industry. development of.
7. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Tire Industry Access Conditions"
On September 17, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Tire Industry Access Conditions" and announced that it will be implemented on October 1, 2014. The release of this policy will play a very important role in the development of the tire industry, industrial integration and industry norms.
It is reported that the access conditions have clearly defined the enterprises that invest in tire production equipment. At the same time, it also encourages the development of energy-saving and environmentally friendly green tires and encourages the development of advanced production technologies. According to industry insiders, most of the tire companies can meet the above standards, which will have a good effect on regulating the development of the industry and eliminating backward production capacity.
8. The US countervailing duty on Chinese tires is the highest or 80% higher.
On November 24, local time, the US Department of Commerce’s preliminary ruling found that passenger cars and light truck tires imported from China were subject to excessive government subsidies. The United States intends to impose a “countervailing duty†on such products. 3 billion US dollars. According to the preliminary results announced by the US Department of Commerce, Chinese tire companies will be subject to punitive tariffs ranging from 17.7% to 81.3%.
Prior to the tire special protection case that began in 2009, the US imposed a punitive tariff of 35%, 30% and 25% on China's US passenger car and light truck tires in three years. According to the data, during the special protection case, the export volume of Chinese tires to the US fell by more than 60%. It is predicted that the duration of the "double-reverse" case will be longer than that of the special security case of the year, and the final tariff is expected to reach 60%.
9. The National Standards Committee issued the "General Technical Specification for Composite Rubber"
On December 31, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Standardization Administration Committee officially released the National Composite Rubber Standard Specification for Composite Rubber, No. 33 of 2014, the standard number is GB/T 31357-2014. The standard stipulates that the raw rubber content of the composite rubber is not more than 88% (mass fraction), and the non-adhesive mixture is 12%.
It is reported that this incident has caused widespread concern in the rubber producing countries in Southeast Asia and the domestic industry. The Thai Rubber Association has submitted a formal letter to the Thai government. The industry also believes that setting the raw rubber content below 88% is to close the door of composite rubber imports, which may cause confusion in the natural rubber trade market.
10. 2015 natural rubber import tariff increase
On December 16, the Ministry of Finance stated that since January 1, 2015, some adjustments were made to import and export tariffs, including appropriate increases in the provisional tax rate for imports of natural rubber and other commodities.
According to the regulations, the provisional tax rate for China's natural rubber import tariffs is adjusted from 20% or 1,200 yuan/ton to 20% or 1,500 yuan/ton, an increase of 300 yuan/ton; the tentative tax rate for imported natural rubber latex is 10% or 720 yuan/ton. , adjusted to 10% or 900 yuan / ton, an increase of 180 yuan / ton.
In addition, since January 1, 2015, the “2015 Tariff Implementation Plan†has been implemented, and the import tariff on synthetic rubber has been partially adjusted.
