Automotive rubber products need to speed up the development in response to market demand

With the rapid development of China's automobile industry, the domestic market for automotive rubber products (except tires outside) the rapid increase in demand.

"Five-Year Plan" period, the domestic automobile market, the average annual growth rate of rubber for more than 30%; At the same time, China is still a year more than 50 million automotive rubber products (equivalent to the automotive rubber industry with annual sales of 20%) from To be imported. This shows that China's automotive rubber industry is still unable to meet the requirements of the development of the automobile industry.

In addition to the automotive rubber tires means other than a variety of automotive rubber products mainly include: all kinds of hose and belt (V belt, timing belt), sealing products (oil seal, seal, the ring pad, etc.), rubber shock absorption and Security products and other rubber products. In the August 10 ~ 11, held in Beijing in the second rubber technology in the automotive parts and components in the application of the seminar, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers vehicle-related industries branch of the responsible person, per vehicle up to the needs of rubber parts 100 to 200, the number of 200 to as many as 500.

"Five-Year Plan" period, China's automobile industry has made remarkable leap-forward development. In 2005, China's car output reached 5,700,000, the output value of more than 940,000,000,000 yuan, China has become the United States and Japan after the world's third largest auto producer and consumer countries. In the auto industry, led by automotive rubber industry has also made great strides. In 2005, automotive rubber industry more than 6,600,000,000 yuan industrial added value, sales revenue 24,400,000,000 yuan, fixed assets, the average balance of 6.1 billion. "Five-Year Plan" period, the automotive rubber industry's industrial added value is much higher than China's average annual growth rate of GDP growth.

However, China's rubber automotive industry is still relatively weak. From the National Bureau of Statistics showed that in 2005, more than the size of China's automotive rubber products 624 enterprises. Of these, only a large-scale enterprises, the sales income of less than 3% of total revenue. Domestic auto rubber products manufacturer has missed the global non-tire rubber products 50. Although the domestic car market, the average annual growth rate of rubber for more than 30%, but foreign-funded enterprises is gradually eating into domestic-funded enterprises in share sales, making domestic-funded enterprises in the proportion of declining sales. From Chinese imports and exports of rubber products, China's non-tire rubber products, rubber products exports only account for 28% of the total exports, while imports accounted for 91%. Each year, China's rubber 5,000,000,000 yuan vehicle needs to be imported, and that trend was increasing year by year.

According to China's modern rubber net Experts predict that by 2010, China's cars in 2005 from 35,000,000 to the 60,000,000. Correspondingly, the car's rubber consumption volume of plastic in 2005 from 270,000 tons to 400,000 tons growth, which, skeleton oil seal about 378,200,000, 557,000,000 meters sealed the treaty, timing belt, the 1510 V-ribbed belts 10,000, skin, is a lack of communication about Piwan 182,000,000, automotive hose, about 250,000,000 meters standard, damping products of about 242,000,000. Such a large market demand, as well as the future of automotive rubber products to improve the technical requirements for automotive rubber industry both opportunities and challenges.

Experts on the rubber industry to enhance competitiveness of the car to make a few suggestions: First, the development of professional and large-scale production. At present, the international rubber industry trend toward large-scale enterprises First, the Group of the development of the economies of scale, and the other is toward professionalization of the factory, the production of intensive direction. The large foreign companies with annual sales of rubber as much as 20 billion dollars. The majority of our products in small-scale production, low degree of specialization, it is difficult to take part in international competition in the market, it is hard to adapt to the requirements of the development of the automobile industry. Second, to further explore the international and domestic markets. China's rubber industry should conform to international auto parts procurement to the new situation, the need to target the international market and actively expand exports. At the same time, with China-made products to replace imports is also a considerable market space. Third, strengthen cooperation with OE vehicle communication and co-operation. With the new plant to speed up the pace of development models, no longer satisfied with OE rubber processing plant drawings by matching the requirements of the rubber, but rubber manufacturers to the idea of the new model for independent development of new products, that is, in the car Product development phase of the intervention on the development of an independent structure of the product design, CAE simulation analysis with the ability to establish different levels of product platforms and do a good job of technical reserves, to change from passive to active development of the development. Fourth, strengthen the management of the industry. China's automotive rubber products manufacturer with a variety of economic sectors, between the information almost in a state of isolation. The introduction of an enterprise's equipment and technology to meet the many needs of the production of rubber model, which requires the same products between each other. To see the industry not only competitive side, and a co-operation. Fifth, strengthen the standardization of products and testing work. China's old standards automotive rubber products, and lower targets should be amended to speed up work as soon as possible with foreign rubber accessories synchronous standards.
