All-steel radial tires are suitable for heavy-duty vehicles. my country’s market competition is fierce

There are many types of radial tires. According to different base materials, they can be divided into three types: all-fiber radial tires, all-steel radial tires and semi-steel radial tires. All-steel radial tires, also known as all-steel load-carrying radial tires and all-steel radial tires, refer to radial tires whose carcass cords are arranged in the meridian direction, and whose carcass, belt layer and splint cover are all made of steel cords. All-steel radial tires have the advantages of long service life, wear resistance, good sideslip resistance, and large load capacity. They are widely used in heavy-duty vehicles such as buses and trucks.

The manufacturing process of all-steel radial tires is relatively complex and requires kneading, mixing, calendering, longitudinal cutting, molding, rubber core application, vulcanization, cutting and other links. my country’s all-steel radial tire industry started late, and local companies only began to introduce overseas technology in the 1980s. After years of development and experience accumulation, the localization process of my country’s all-steel radial tire market has continued to accelerate, and the output and quality have reached the world’s advanced level.

The raw materials of all-steel radial tires include steel cord, rubber, bead wire, rubber compound, etc. Rubber accounts for the main production cost of all-steel radial tires and can be subdivided into natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber (NR) has the advantages of good plasticity, high mechanical strength, good wear resistance, good resilience, and green environmental protection. It can be used as the raw rubber of all-steel radial tires.

According to the “2023-2028 All-Steel Radial Tire Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report released by the Industrial Research Center , all-steel radial tires are mainly used in heavy-duty vehicles such as buses and trucks. In recent years, with the rapid economic development and continuous technological breakthroughs, the development speed of my country’s truck industry has continued to accelerate. According to statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, my country’s heavy truck sales will reach 672,000 units in 2022. As downstream demand grows, my country’s all-steel radial tire production continues to increase. According to statistics from the Tire Branch of the China Rubber Industry Association, my country’s all-steel radial tire production will reach 150 million units in 2021, accounting for 22% of the total radial tire production.

There are many all-steel radial tire manufacturers in my country, and the market competition is fierce, including Guizhou Tire, Senqilin, Sailun Tire, Aeolus, Linglong Tire, General Motors, Hengxing Technology, Hailide, etc. Sen Qilin is my country’s leading all-steel radial tire company. It has mature production technology and its products are suitable for various heavy-duty vehicles. According to Senqilin’s annual report, the company will achieve revenue of 6.29 billion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 21.5%.

Industry analysts said that all-steel radial tires have excellent performance and good application prospects. As downstream demand grows, the industry continues to develop. For the better. my country is a major producer of all-steel radial tires. As technology maturity improves, product quality and output continue to improve. Competition in my country’s all-steel radial tire market is relatively fierce. In the future, with the improvement of independent research and development capabilities of leading companies, the industry concentration will further increase.
