China Tire Industry Facing Most Serious 0verdraft
September.15.2010

From this year, a stream of tire investment boom quickly spread throughout China, and it comes with tremendous force that is unexpected. According to the incomplete statistics, there are no less than 40 new items in tire industry, all-steel tires less is 600,000 sets and more is tens of millions sets; as for passenger tires, less is 3 million sets and more is 15 million sets, the production capacity has been exceeded the demands severely. Reporters appeal that relevant departments and auto parts industries should pay high attention urgently on this phenomenon. Relevant experts also advise tire enterprises to have rational investment in order to reduce risk.

After investigation reporters know that, Shandong Guang Nao Company, known as the nest of tires recently have initiated a tide of constructing all-steel and semi-steel radial fitness projects, and this project has reached more than 10. The scale in building of the radial tire project has reached 50 million sets and it is expected that the car parts production capacity can be formed in the next two years. Shandong Jin Yu Company plans to expand the all-steel tires to 300 million scooter sets per year, and the semi-steel tires to 15 million sets per year; except Guang Nao there are more than 10 radial tire projects in Shandong. In addition, according to the survey of the reporters, now the scooters investment boom of the tire enterprises is spreading in many areas except Shandong Province.

When atv reporters investigate and cover the reason why so many areas start to have the tire projects, Mr. Chen Jinrong said that, in the beginning of this year the market expected that the world economy would continue to show a recovery trend, so the tire markets are all in the state of replenishing stock. In this process, manufacturers may get a wrong signal that the market prospect is better. Therefore, most manufacturers automatically speed up the production and capacity expansion. The centralized, large-scale, rapid expansion of constructing the tire electric bike projects will seriously intensify the fierce competition and disorder in tire industry, now the risk of over-expansion has begun to appear. According to the dirt bike statistics of China Rubber Industry Association Tire Branch, from January to May of this year, the stocks of China's major 43 tire companies have increased 23% compared with the same period last year, and the phenomenon of tire accumulation around most electric bikes factories appeared again. In June the decrease of tire price is generally about 15% compared with the peak, many companies cannot help but begin to limit their production.

Mr. Ju Hongzhen, the honorary president of China electric bike Industry Association, worried about the current pole investment boom. He took the engineering giant tire boom in 2008 as an analogy and said that, the engineering tire boom has caused serious surplus on China's engineering giant tire, the day the production electric bike line of most engineering giant tires to put into operation is the day to stop garment steam production. But this year the tire investment boom has exceeded the boom of engineering tire, which is seriously overdrawing the future of China's tire industry, it is extremely detrimental to the skyrunner industry development. And he hoped that the tire enterprises could have rational investment and maintain a healthy industry development.

The Interpretation of China Sporting Goods Industry
September.09.2010

Industry Development

Compared with developed countries, China's sporting goods industry is in its beginning stage. At present, nearly 400 million consumers have ploughed into the athletic sports, and this figure is increasing constantly, so the consumers' demands for the sporting goods are rapidly growing. Under the influence of the world financial crisis, the industry awareness of the whole sporting goods industry has became cautious. However, in the next decade this growth rate will continue with faster speed. The 2008 Beijing Olympics has significantly speed up the development of China's electric bike sporting goods market. According to the data statistics by China Industry Research Institute, in 2009 the sales volume of China's sporting goods industry has exceeded 100 billion yuan, and it is expected that 250 billion yuan will be achieved in 2013, therefore, the potential of the market demand increase is very large.

Competition Pattern

With the 2009 annual electric bike report of some major sporting goods companies coming out successively, the ranking list of sporting goods ATV brands in the domestic market seems to have some changes, after a slight glance we can find that a new competition pattern is forming fitness equipment quietly. For example, Li Ning has ranked second in the industry with 8.387 billion yuan annual sales volume, which first exceeds Adidas and squeeze into the leader ranks. Nike, Li Ning and Adidas have gradually formed a new first tier. It is not difficult for careful readers to find that the competition between Chinese and foreign skyrunner brands has begun to have a qualitative shift: the Chinese sporting goods market which dominated by foreign capital brands has gone and will never be back. In China the brand spread and promote means of many brands represented by Li Ning and Anta are increasing continually, and the market performance become better and better. Although they have their own style and characteristics, but in China the fact that the competition of sporting goods market continues to strengthen can not be denied.

Channel Structure

Generally speaking, the profit level of sporting goods scooters industry is higher, and it has strong premium capacity and attraction. From the profit allocation of industrial chain in all links, the brand manufacturers are in the highest level of the profit because they have the brand property and are responsible for brand promotion, pocket bike product design and development. The brand manufacturers dominate Chinese electric bikes sporting goods market with better profitability and strong right of speech on channel, and they often put pressure on distributors in order to ensure the increase of brand revenue.

In sporting goods industry the profit allocation pattern of industrial scooters chain in all links results in the double squeeze from brand manufacturers and terminal retailers on distributor's profit, with their decreasing profit it will cause the pole retailers to further nibble the distribution market, the channel level of sporting goods industry will continue to reduce and develop toward a flat scooter trend. In a short time the overall pattern of channel partners will not be changed greatly, the probability of new household items national retailers appearing is small, and the local advantages of retailers are still barriers and obstacles for foreign retailers to enter into the local market.

International Scooter Rally

Widely recognised as the largest scooter event in the world, the August Bank Holiday weekend welcomed thousands of fellow scooter enthusiasts to Ryde for a fun-filled line-up of ride-outs, rally events and parties. Blue skies and bright sunshine greeted the scooterists, mod fans and of course their faithful two-wheelers as they descended upon the IOW for the greatest rally of the scootering calendar. As always, the highlight of the weekend was the mass ride-out around the Island on Sunday, which, regardless of your personal preference and opinions on scooters, was without any shadow of a doubt, a truly awesome sight to behold.

A record breaking, breath-taking assembly of enthusiasts
The scooterists have been coming to the Isle of Wight every August for over a decade and the rally has increased in size annually. Incredibly, this year's turnout of around five thousand bikes for the ride-out on Sunday afternoon smashed the Guinness World Record for the biggest uninterrupted parade of machines. The previous record stood at 449 machines, and organisers VFM confirmed that in 2007 more than 1,100 were present in a continuous line. There were in fact 1,600 scooters in the parade, but as a spokesperson for the scooterists' organisation VHM pointed out, the rules state that the line has to be unbroken, and unfortunately a car did break the chain.

Scooter invasion catching on in Tucson

High gas prices are causing more drivers to switch to two wheels instead of four. In the first quarter of 2008, scooter sales were up 24 percent nationwide, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council. The scooter invasion is also catching on in Tucson with sellers reporting sale increases ranging from 25 to 70 percent compared to a year ago. The scooter fad could end up resulting in a sticking trend if the price of gas doesn't go down considerably. On average, scooters get between 70 to a 100 miles per gallon of gas while most cars and trucks have fuel economies that are quarter of that or less. Will Stanton commutes by scooter six days a week and travels 25 miles both ways from his home in Oro Valley to his job on the far southeast side. When the price of gas tipped the scales at nearly four dollars a gallon three months ago Will decided it was time to ditch his truck, which only gets 13 miles per gallon for a scooter that gets 85 miles per gallon. On average, he saves more than $300 a month on gas. While he paid a little more than $4,000 for his scooter; he'll have it paid off in less than a year with all the money he's saving on fuel.

The Scooter Appeal

Gas Prices And Fun Image Make It 'The' Alternative Transportatio. With the high price of gas, you may be saying to yourself, "If only I could get rid of my car." Actually, some people are doing just that by trading in a large SUV for a much smaller scooter. It's a trend that is sending sales of these road trippers soaring. Always popular across the pond in cities such as Rome and Paris, scooters are now being embraced more and more by Americans such as 48-year-old Leslie Taylor from Portland, Ore. ConsumerWatch correspondent Susan Koeppen. Tired of paying $50 dollars to fill the tank in her SUV, she recently bought a scooter to save at the pump. "My scooter takes one gallon of gas, about $2.57 right now, and that lasts me about a week and a half," she says. Christine Gifford, who owns a Vespa dealership in Ridgefield, Conn., says her sales are up 20 percent over last year thanks in part to prices at the pump. Her husband was thinking gas prices, but Russell says she was thinking, "fun." She's even fighting with daughter Annie over who gets to ride it. There was a time scooter riders were considered geeks. "Now it's completely different," Annie Russell says. Even though she's nine months pregnant, Koeppen had to give a scooter a try, and found it was fun. So the next time you check out your rear view mirror, don' t be surprised if you see someone on a scooter, smiling. Depending on its size, a scooter can get upwards of 70 miles of gas per gallon and can go anywhere between 35 and 70 mph. Some can even go over 100 mph. According data provided by Vespa, a scooter can save you over $600 a year in gasoline annually compared to a Toyota Camry, and almost $3,000 compared to a Hummer.
