The global tire industry is huge, but these 20 enterprises represented by Michelin, Bridgestone and Goodyear basically control the whole world tire market. These enterprises come from Japan, South Korea, China, India, France, Germany, the United States, Italy, Finland and Singapore, and 20 tire manufacturers in 10 countries cover almost the tire market in more than 200 countries around the world. Such control and mode may not change in the next few decades.
According to the data of Tire Business Data Center, in 2065.438+08, the total sales of these 20 tire enterprises reached 654.38+0292 billion yuan, accounting for about 75% of the sales of global tire enterprises. In such a large tire market in the world, these 20 companies account for 3/4, leaving only14 market share for the remaining thousands of tire companies to compete for food. This shows how fierce the competition of small and medium-sized tire enterprises in the world is and how bad the living environment is.
These 20 tire companies also affect the fate of upstream suppliers in the tire industry. The price of natural rubber is greatly influenced by the operating rate of tire enterprises every year, even far exceeding the control of the government and the natural rubber origin association. Although the governments and associations of Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries have tried many times to control the price of rubber, as long as tire companies sneeze, natural rubber is bound to catch a cold. And those suppliers of tire raw materials, such as steel cord, cord fabric and carbon black, have the same fate as these tire enterprises.
These 20 companies hold all the patents and cutting-edge technologies in the tire industry and have been leading the development direction of the global tire industry to a great extent. The invention of Michelin radial tire quickly changed the world. These 20 companies initiated the emergence of run-flat tires and more and more high-end tire silencing technologies. These 20 tire companies bear the brunt of every tire technology revolution.
Russian dandelion has always been regarded as a plant that can replace rubber trees as natural rubber for tires, but the tire enterprises that can really play a role in this field are limited to a few tire enterprises such as Bridgestone, Germany, Cooper, Sumitomo Rubber and Linglong. After years of experiments, Goodyear also found that silica extracted from rice husk ash can be used as a reinforcing agent for tire compound. Compared with the traditional tire reinforcing agent-carbon black, Goodyear can effectively improve the wet grip performance of tires and reduce the rolling resistance of tires. Lower rolling resistance is helpful to improve the fuel economy of vehicles and make great contributions to environmental protection.
At the annual tire exhibition, major tire companies will introduce concept tires, which represents the most advanced tire technology and the strength of tire companies. Major breakthroughs and innovations in future tire products will basically be born from these concept tires.
Among these 20 tire companies, some have made unique contributions in a certain product segment and played an irreplaceable role in the global tire industry. The first one is Nokia Tire Company in Finland. As the inventor of winter tires, Nuoji Tire is definitely the "leader" in the field of winter tires. Nuoji tire plays an important role in promoting the global winter tire industry. It is precisely because of Nuoji tires that more and more consumers begin to realize the importance of winter tires and start to use them.
It is also worth mentioning that Trelleborg, Sweden, has made a world-class contribution to the OTR tire field. Trelleborg Tire System is a global advanced enterprise that provides tires and complete vehicle systems for forestry and agricultural machinery, industrial vehicles and other construction machinery, ranking first in the world in the field of industrial rubber.
These tire companies are famous for their professionalism and dedication. These enterprises regard tires as their life, and generations have devoted their energy and wisdom to becoming a great tire manufacturer. They affect the global tire industry and constantly change the world and people's lives. Let's pay tribute to these great tire companies.
