According to statistics, rubber planting area in China amounted to 17100000 mu, annual output of 864800 tons, but still can not escape from natural rubber to rely heavily on imports of the situation, there are still 80% dependent on imports of rubber industry. According to customs statistics, 2014 1~10 months, China's imports of natural rubber 2107700 tons, grow 13.47% compared to the same period last year. Some reports even bluntly, domestic enterprises are more likely to use imported rubber.
The shortfall is the crux of the matter
"This is not a simple problem of trends. The fact is that the natural rubber production in China is insufficient, can not meet the demand of non tire and tire enterprises at the same time, enterprises must rely on imports of rubber to meet the need of production, which give artificial become an illusion, that is more like domestic enterprises imported rubber." Chinese Rubber Industry Association vice president and Secretary General Xu Wenying of the international business daily reporters.
Xu Wenying told reporters, in recent years, China's average annual need about 4000000 tons of rubber into production, but the country can only produce about 800000 tons per year. "In addition, each year 80% of the total in China to be used for rubber tire enterprises, the remaining 20% are used for non tire enterprises. But the use of common domestic tire factory standard number is 20, while most domestic production is the 5 adhesive, which of course does not conform to this large group of tire manufacturers demand, so they can only rely on imports." Xu Wenying added.
The Ministry of Commerce International Trade and Economic Cooperation Research Institute International Market Research Department deputy director, researcher Bai Ming of the International Business Daily reporters, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries rubber output is relatively stable, the variety is more also, enjoys a high reputation in the world, it is an accepted fact. The development stage of China's auto industry has to a certain extent, led to the import dependence of rubber industry. "China's auto industry is developed in recent years, while the rubber tree growth requires a very long time, and other trees grow mature, our country is in economic regulation period, the car industry has been the rapid development stage, the development focus shifted from quantity to quality, will need more high quality rubber. At this point, imports of rubber with certain competitive power." Bai Ming said.
The transformation and upgrading of difficulties
"Although the domestic tire enterprises demand is the 20 rubber natural rubber, but many enterprises do not want to transition to production, some enterprises of Hainan is so." Xu Wenying pointed out that the crux of the problem.
Since 1954 was identified as the planting base - Hainan strategic materials for rubber, rubber has 8100000 mu of cultivated area, annual production capacity of 420000 tons. Every year, China half of rubber from Hainan output. "This is due to natural rubber in China production is limited, on the other hand it is because these enterprises 5, rubber still has the market very much. Therefore, enterprises that they do not need to make changes, also lack the transition dynamics." Xu Wenying said.
Xu Wenying said, the current situation of rubber industry in our country is state-owned enterprises dominate, private entrepreneurs number but yield smaller, some private enterprises are also exists some problems in capital introduction. Bai Ming also said, the existence of private enterprises technical vacancy, so I can only stay in the rubber takeovers; while in the deep processing, state-owned enterprises have advantages in capital and technology.
In addition, Bai Ming pointed out that, along with the development of rubber industry, there will be more and more private enterprises see the opportunities, "the private enterprises and the competition among enterprises is likely to intensify, how to make the state-owned enterprises and private enterprises to play their respective advantages, do not let the market into chaos is also the future to consider a problem".
