The main reasons for the rise of rubber are the delay in producing new rubber, the shortage of spot rubber and the strong downstream demand. According to the analysis, this situation will continue to happen, and the price of rubber will rise further in the future.

Since August, 12 tire enterprises have issued price increase notices:

Among them, basically all the reasons for the price increase of tire enterprises are the rise of raw materials:

At present, tire enterprises have to raise prices due to cost pressure. The price of rubber is already at a high level, if the "price increase tide" of tires is about to hit!

Earlier, Chopin also interviewed executives of related tire companies. They analyzed that in August, major tire factories will cancel the promotion one after another, and there will be a wave of price increases in September.

Chopin said

Due to the epidemic in the first half of this year, the continuous decline in raw material prices, and the decline in tire demand much faster than tire supply, many people have a negative attitude towards price increases.

But at the same time, some tire owners believe that the price increase of tires has become an inevitable trend. They believe that drivers have the psychology of buying up and not buying down, and the price increase is also conducive to tire sales.

Chopin believes that August-September was originally the peak period of price increase for tire enterprises. Tires will increase slightly in previous years. This year, due to the epidemic situation and the impact of the environment, many bosses are not optimistic about this.

But as far as the current trend is concerned, the recovery speed of the market may be faster than we thought, and the price correction may become a common phenomenon.

Chopin also suggested that everyone should pay close attention to the trend changes of raw materials, scientifically and rationally lay out inventories, speed up the turnover efficiency of money and goods, and control the pace of purchasing goods.
