SHANGHAI, Jun. 19 (SMM) - Operating rates at all steel tire plants in Shandong fell over 10% in May. Some small tire plants in the region which did not meet requirements remained closed in June.

How did this affect local zinc oxide plants?

NBS: China Zinc Output Falls Remarkably in May

Overall, local zinc oxide plants were barely affected. Some small zinc oxide producers in Shandong slashed or ceased production, but medium and large ones witnessed steady orders, SMM survey showed. These producers absorbed orders from small ones.

The Zinc Salt Industry Will See Higher Concentrate Ratio for Better Development

With the recent spike in raw materials prices, it is very difficult for indirect-process zinc oxide companies to survive if downstream sales prices do not increase. Since 2010 to date, the concentration of the zinc oxide industry has gradually increased, with the number of enterprises falling from more than 700 to around 150 as of today. However, although the concentration of production capacity has increased, the issue of overcapacity is very serious, mainly caused by the intensive competitions among the companies.
