With favorable policies and downstream markets, the radial tire market continues to grow

Engineering tires are composed of four parts: tread, bead, cord layer, and buffer layer. According to the arrangement of the carcass cords, they can be divided into bias tires and radial tires. They have the characteristics of less heat generation and good wear resistance. The carcass ply of a bias ply tire is a diagonal cross type, and the sidewall and tread are strong. However, the sidewall stiffness is high, the comfort is poor, and the ply creates high friction when moving at high speeds, making it unsuitable for high-speed driving.

Radial tire carcass cords are arranged in the meridian direction and form an angle of 90 degrees or close to 90 degrees with the tire driving direction. They have long service life, good adhesion performance, large load-bearing capacity, good heat dissipation performance, good shock absorption performance, and good rolling resistance. It has the advantages of low resistance, saving dye, and the tread is not easy to be punctured or punctured. It can be adapted to high-speed and high-temperature driving. With their excellent performance, radial tires occupy the vast majority of the tire market in my country.

Radial tires can be divided into all-steel radial tires, semi-steel radial tires and all-fiber radial tires. The skeleton material of all-steel radial tires is steel wire, and the belt layer and carcass are all made of steel cord. They are mainly used as tires for buses, trucks, construction machinery vehicles, etc.; the skeleton materials and carcass of semi-steel radial tires are fiber Materials, only the belt layer uses steel cord, which is mainly used as tires for cars, buses, etc.; the skeleton material, carcass and belt layer of full-fiber radial tires are all made of fiber materials, and is mainly used as tractors, low-speed cars, etc. tire.

According to data from the China Rubber Industry Association, my country’s total tire output in 2022 will be 856.003 million units. Among them, radial tires account for more than 94%. In order to further promote the radialization rate of my country’s tires, the “Guiding Outline of the Rubber Industry’s “14th Five-Year Plan” Development Plan promulgated by the China Rubber Industry Association proposes that by the end of the “14th Five-Year Plan”, my country’s tire radialization rate will strive to reach 96%, and the passenger radial The flattening rate of tires reaches 30%, and the radialization rate of agricultural tires increases to 16%. With favorable policies, my country’s radial tire market has broad prospects.

According to the “China Radial Tire Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, From the perspective of passenger cars, according to data from the Ministry of Public Security, my country’s car ownership will be 320 million in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 5.6%, and the per capita car ownership rate will reach 22%. The rising car ownership will drive the demand for tire replacement. increase. In addition, according to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, my country’s automobile production will be 27.021 million units in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 2.9%; my country’s automobile sales in 2022 will be 26.864 million units, a year-on-year increase of 2.2%. Rising automobile demand will drive the development of radial tires in my country .

From an agricultural perspective, agricultural radial tires have the advantages of saving fuel consumption, shock absorption, improving host traction, and protecting soil. They are in line with the current trend of energy-saving and environmentally friendly products and are widely used in developed countries. The radialization rate of agricultural tires in my country is relatively low. Industrial analysts said that with the rapid development of my country’s agricultural modernization, agricultural transport vehicles, agricultural power machinery vehicles, fertilizer spreaders and other agricultural The demand for machinery is increasing, and the radialization of agricultural tires in my country is the general trend, and the market size of radial tires will increase.
