my country’s cord fabric industry chain has basically taken shape, and the market size is gradually growing.
Cord fabric, also known as cord fabric, refers to the lining fabric inside the tire. It is mainly made of multiple layers of rubber-impregnated cords bonded by rubber. It plays the role of enhancing the strength of the wheel body and withstanding high pressure and temperature. It is heat-resistant, aging-resistant, Impact resistance, high strength, easy processing and other characteristics. As one of the important components in automobile tires, cord fabric is closely related to the performance of automobile tires and automobiles, and directly affects the life safety of drivers and passengers.
With the gradual advancement of my country’s production technology, the types of cord fabrics are becoming increasingly rich. According to different raw materials, they can be roughly divided into polyester cord fabrics, aramid cord fabrics, viscose cord fabrics, cotton cord fabrics, polyester cord fabrics, nylon cord fabrics, and steel wires. Cord fabric, polypropylene cord, etc. Among them, polyester cord fabric has become the mainstream product in the cord fabric market with its advantages of good heat resistance, obvious shock absorption effect, and long service life, accounting for 40.9% of the market; followed by nylon cord fabric, with a market share of is 37.8%.
At present, my country’s cord fabric industry chain has basically taken shape. The upstream of the industrial chain is mainly the raw material industry, providing steel wire, polyester, rubber, nylon, aramid and other raw materials; the midstream is mainly the cord fabric production industry, responsible for the production and manufacturing of different types of cord fabrics; the downstream is mainly oriented to application fields, with multiple applications In the fields of automobile tires and automobile maintenance.
According to the “China Cord Fabric Industry Competitive Landscape and Main Competitors Analysis Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, the recent In the past few years, the penetration rate of my country’s automobile market has gradually increased, and it has become one of the important means of transportation for residents’ daily travel, and the market demand has gradually increased. According to data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, my country’s automobile production and sales in 2022 will be 27.021 million and 26.864 million vehicles respectively, a year-on-year increase of 3.4% and 2.1%. With the rapid development of my country’s automobile market, automobile tires, as one of the important parts of automobiles, have gradually increased market demand, which has indirectly led to the gradual expansion of the cord fabric market. And because automobile tires are in direct contact with the ground, the loss is relatively large, the demand for replacement is gradually increasing, and the demand for cord fabric is gradually increasing. Against this background, my country’s cord fabric production has gradually increased. In 2022, my country’s cord fabric output will be 490,400 tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.34%.
Industry analysts said that at present, my country’s largest cord fabric companies mainly include Junma Chemical Fiber, Shenma Industrial, Haiyang Technology, Jinma Cord Fabric, Hesheng Chemical Textile, Dikai Industry, Ningbo Nylon, Hailide New Materials, etc. In addition, there are still a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in my country’s cord fabric market. These enterprises are small in scale, have relatively backward production technology, and have weak market competitiveness. However, as my country’s large-scale cord fabric enterprises continue to develop and their strength gradually increases, the living space of small and medium-sized enterprises is gradually squeezed. They may be merged or disappear in the future, and market concentration may further increase.
