"Realigning to Take Advantage of the Recovering Tire & Rubber Markets"

 

CMT has been organizing annual Rubber & Tire conference for Asia and CEE region since 2005. Into it's 4th series, the CEE Rubber & Tire conference was previously held in Budapest, Prague and Krakow, gathering key producers, end-users and other suppliers in the supply chain under one roof for high octane discussion and exchange.

 

Tire Market Return to Growth amid Rising Costs and Shortage of Key Raw Materials

  • The 2010 tire shipments would rebound back to pre-crisis level. Total shipments are expected to increase by around 8%, propelled by rise in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) passenger tires and passenger replacement segments, according to the Rubber Manufacturers Association.
  • Bridgestone reversed the net loss suffered in 2009 and posted a 15% jump in profit in the first half of 2010. They have upgraded their full-year forecast due to growing demand for vehicles worldwide.
  • The Yokohama Rubber Co. raised its earnings projections for the period from April 1 to Sept. 30, 2010. They forecast their net sales will increase 18.3% over the same period in the previous fiscal year.
  • Pirelli & C. S.p.A. nearly doubled its pre-tax earnings and boosting sales by 16.2 % in Q1 2010. Accordingly, they forecast additional sales growth for the fiscal year of about 4 % over earlier projections, and an operating earnings margin of at least 6.5%.

While the tire market is back on track, tire makers have to deal with material shortage and escalating costs.

 

Worldwide shortage of natural rubber caused by extreme weather drove up rubber prices. "Global production will lag behind soaring demand for at least another two years", predicts Pongsak Kerdvongbundit, managing director of Von Bundit, largest natural rubber producer in Thailand. Worldwide rubber consumption will climb 9.4% in 2010, the fastest increase in 6 years, fueled by global economic rebound. The upbeat global automotive market contributes largely to the rising rubber demand. (source: Bloomberg news)
