1. Background

China’s tire companies faced serious market condition since the beginning of this year. On the one hand, domestic economy was sluggish, the auto industry turned weak, tire industrial competition became increasingly fierce, and the tire producers’ were under heavier pressure; on the other hand, the U.S. and other countries launched anti-dumping and anti-subsidy probes against tires from China, Chinese tire producers confronted severe difficulties in the global market, and some of them even lost the overseas market.

Under such circumstances,China’s tire companies have to learn how the market will be in the coming days and to figure out the development strategy and directions for the future.

As a high-end communication platform of the auto industry and tire industry, “Automobile-Tire Cross-border Development Summit” was held inBeijingin 2015 for the first time and was widely welcomed by automakers, tire producers and relevant companies. After that, enterprises in the two industries expected to meet each other again to discuss the changes of the industries and the markets as well as the trend of development, so as to address the market crisis.

As an authorized, neutral, professional website, Tireworld.com.cn has formed its influence in the domestic tire and rubber industry. It cooperated with SAE China and expected to provide a better platform for communication and value-added services to the automakers and tire producers with the two sides’ industrial resources.
