Engineering fetal birth of a serious shortage of polyurethane tires to develop new opportunities

It is learned that a mega-child has reached the price of 30,000 U.S. dollars, but on a global scale is still in short supply, and this led to the mining industry in trouble. More and more serious works of a shortage of tires so that principal has been very difficult for equipment manufacturers to fulfill the contract, delivery on time.

While the world works fetal thermal expansion in the ascendant, but it will not be forthcoming. Michelin, Bridgestone, Yokohama Onomichi, and other companies to invest in the construction works projects of the first child to be put into operation by the end of this year, due to the need to produce products for a period of time, so in the next 18 to 36 months, the global Engineering shortage of tires continues.

At present, the production of fetal engineering business has grown to more than 30. It is predicted that in 2006 total domestic projects fetal 2,600,000, of which the demand for child support project for 500,000 to 600,000, the demand for replacement tires of about 2,000,000. In past years, China's engineering exports about 25% of births, but two years, increasing the proportion of exports this year is expected to reach 1,000,000. In this way, the two major domestic and international market demand will reach 3,600,000.

North America has always been the world's major construction machinery market in China is also the project's main export market fetus. North America is expected to support the market demand for child work on the annual growth rate of 33%, maintenance works on the market demand for fetal growth rate of 14%. In addition, Europe each year, 12 million (sets) of the volume of construction machinery; South American countries in recent years, demand for child work, and basically rely on imports; Australia, Central Asia project also imports a large number of births; Africa is the most potential market in the future. As a result, China's tire production project should increase the above-mentioned countries and regions in the development of the market.

Because of engineering and engineering giant radial tires a late start, and the market for both types of tires of the increasingly strong demand, high import prices, the market is expected to shortage will continue until after 2008. To this end, the experts recommended tire manufacturers should work closely watching the market, according to the market to adjust product mix, production and inventory control at the same time focus on technological innovation to break the homogeneity of products and expand product differentiation. Hao is now in the South China has launched a plan to polyurethane tread, the wear-resistance than rubber tires to increase more than double, but not afraid of gill bar in the poor performance of the environment better; Goodyear has developed tread, the carcass of an independent Two-tire giant is not only shortened the mining vehicle replacement tires, and for better protection of the matrix, greater payload. These innovations will no doubt give customers more choice and more reasonable solution.
