Bridgestone tires up 5%

The owner of the car, Mr. Huang, was a bit "regrettable" lately. He originally intended to replace four tires that were running close to 50,000 kilometers in early March, but she was shelved due to heavy workload. He went to the auto parts store a few days ago and was told that the price of the tires had risen. He had to replace the 14-inch tires, and they each gained 30 yuan. Mr. Huang thought that the store had “cheap off” and visited more than two auto parts stores. It was found that the price increase of tires was already a crucible. In the end, you can only pay 120 yuan more to replace 4 new tires.

The more common tire brands on the market are Bridgestone, Giti, and Michelin. There are many applicable models. The price of tire dealers in these brands has increased to varying degrees.

Huang Jifu, owner of the Jinlida Tire Service Center of Huizhou Auto Parts City, told reporters that in addition to Michelin, other brands have gained in different degrees, of which Bridgestone’s price rises have reached a maximum of 5%. Huang Jifu said that Bridgestone is the most "active" in performance, and there has been a round of price increase before the Spring Festival. It never expected that it would rise again in the near future. Although Michelin hasn't gone up yet, many models are out of stock. "It will definitely rise later."

Luzhou Yulong Auto Parts Manager Wang Zhaolong introduced that currently the most mainstream economical car tires on the market are mostly R14-15 inches, and the common models are concentrated between 175-195. The original market price was generally 300-700 yuan each. If the price rises by 5%, the increase for each tire is between 15-35 yuan.

According to Huizhou Bridgestone tire agents, a new round of gains will be ushered in April, and the purchase price will increase by 5%, and the cost price of each tire will be at least 10 yuan. Affected by the tires will continue to blow up the wind, many auto parts stores are conscious of goods.

4S shop tire prices do not move

“The news of tire price increases outside has made a lot of noises, but 4S stores have not received news of price increases for the time being.” Zhang Jianliang, auto parts manager of Shanghai Volkswagen Hengxin 4S Store, told reporters that the tires currently used in the store are Michelin, Hankook and Gueyite. Brands are all supplied by manufacturers. Because the purchase method is different, the price of the 4S shop is different from that of the auto parts store. "What is certain is that the manufacturers directly sign up with the suppliers to get the big orders and get the preferential prices."

Mr. Deng, the person in charge of auto parts at a Dongfeng Nissan Huizhou store, also stated that manufacturers will adjust the price of some auto parts every April, but this time the tires are not within the price range. “Manufacturers and suppliers will sign related agreements, such as price adjustments that cannot be made within a certain period of time. As a result, the prices of 4S stores will not be as large as those of outside auto parts stores.”

The reporter visited several 4S stores such as FAW Fengtian, Dongfeng Honda, GAC Toyota, Beijing Hyundai, and Chery. They all said that they have not heard news of tire prices.

Shanghai Branch head Wang Xinhua responded to reporters, Bridgestone passenger car tires have not officially announced price increases, plans to adjust prices for agents since April, the average rate About 4%.

Interviews

Raw materials account for 50% of tire costs

Pak Kung-su, vice president of Qingdao Nexans Tire Co., Ltd., said that tire prices have a good reason, they plan to adjust prices in April

The overall price increase of domestic tires seems irreversible, but the reason for the price increase of tires is currently only known as the raw material price increase, and the price increase will affect the agents, car manufacturers and consumers? The reporter recently interviewed South Korea's third Major tire manufacturer, Park Kang-fu, vice president of Nikesen Tire Co., Ltd. of Qingdao.

Nandu: Recently, the prices of major brands in the tire market have generally risen. What are the causes of the rise in tire product prices?

Pak Kyung Ho: The main reason is the rising price of raw materials. Tire raw materials consist of more than 50 raw materials including rubber (including natural rubber and synthetic rubber) and chemical raw materials. This year, global oil prices are high, and Thailand’s production of rubber due to climatic factors has decreased, leading to continued rise in the cost of raw materials such as natural rubber. It is estimated that the price of tire raw materials this year will be 40% higher than last year, and the proportion of raw material costs in the cost of one tire will account for 50%, so the tire price will also be affected by 20%.

South are: Nexans in the spare parts market supply process is what, how to monitor and control market prices?

Pakang Kang: The general process for the manufacturers → agents → retailers (including general retailers and Nexans store) → consumers. In the supervision and control of market prices, we only control the prices to agents, and the prices that agents supply to retailers, we will also regularly investigate. Because the market conditions in different regions are different, we will also guide the agents to set prices that are not lower than the competitors.

South Capital: When will Nikeson expect to increase the price, how much is expected to rise, and how much will the price increase affect Nexans' sales?

Pakang Kang: The details are temporarily not disclosed, but as mentioned above, we have a good reason to raise prices. At present, many tire brands have raised prices, and we consider that sudden price increases will affect our agents and retailers. We plan to use the entire April adjustment to give agents and retailers a buffer time.

Nandu: At present, there are 500-600 manufacturers of tires in China and 300-400 in Shandong Province, accounting for about 60%. The competition is fierce. What do you expect for the future of China's auto tire market in 2010?

Pakang Kang: It is expected that the number of vehicles in 2010 will continue to grow due to the government's series of economic stimulus policies. The Chinese tire market will expand, but the rise in the prices of tire raw materials, the development of global tire companies in the Chinese market and the rise of Chinese domestic tire companies In the background, market competition will intensify.

Nexans Tire will also gradually increase its own brand image and accelerate the pace of market development, and set sales targets at more than 2 times last year.
