A new wave of price increase seems to have been formed with 13 tyres companies releasing such notices since Dec.1st.

SHANGHAI, Dec.6 (SMM)－A new wave of price increase seems to have been formed with 13 tyres companies releasing such notices since Dec.1^st. SMM learned that the movement is mainly due to stricter environmental policies and rising carbon black and ingredients prices.

In addition, rising zinc oxide price is another factor driving the tyre prices due to it being an important component of tyres. SMM believes higher zinc prices will gradually be passed on to end-user customers.

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.
