The European Rubber Magazine (ERJ) recently announced the 2010 annual global rubber machinery report. In addition to the announcement of the top 31 rankings, ERJ also conducted investigations into the purchase and expansion plans of rubber machine manufacturers. According to the survey, 53% of rubber machine manufacturers have plans to expand production, and 32% of manufacturers are preparing to upgrade their products. The world's rubber machinery manufacturers are generally optimistic about the market outlook, and the development of the industry has entered the fast lane. It is expected that the strong demand in the global market will continue for a long time, and the upgrade and expansion of the rubber machinery industry will usher in the peak.
Top spot changer
This year is the year with the largest change in rankings over the years. This is only evident from the top 10 ranking changes. The German HF company (formerly Krupp) has been the world's No. 1 for many years. In 2010, despite the acquisition of the Italian Pominik company and the American Farrell company, the total sales revenue of the rubber machinery business was only equal to the previous year. Leave the throne. Japan's Kobe Steel's sales revenue surged by 34.8% (compared with 2009, the same below), achieving triple jump and surpassing HF's climb to the top of the world's rubber machinery. The Dutch VMI company's sales revenue increased by 33.3% year-on-year, ranking third. China has two companies among the top five in the world, namely, Soft Control Co., Ltd. and Yiyang Rubber & Plastics Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Germany Berstorff's sales revenue increased by 60%, ranking sixth. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, one of the top three companies in the past, continued to decline in sales, with sales revenue down 1.9% to 7th. Japan's Nakata Engineering Corporation's sales revenue increased by 12% to 8th. It is worth mentioning that, sales revenue of Larsenbolo in India increased by 31.4%, close to 100 million US dollars, accounting for the ninth place, which is India's rubber machinery into the top ten for the first time. China Guilin Rubber Machinery Plant ranks 10th.
The biggest increase in rankings was the German company Belstoff, from the 15th to the 6th place of the previous year; the largest decline was Herbert, Germany, which retired from the 12th place in the previous year to the 30th place. There are three new rankings, Zeppelin in Germany, Wyko in England and Mapland in Austria. Among the top 31 rubber machine manufacturers, there are 13 Chinese (including 1 in China), 8 in Germany, 3 in Japan, 2 in Italy, 1 in France, 1 in Austria, 1 in the Netherlands, and 1 in India. Britain 1 The top ten rubber machinery sales accounted for 52.9% of the world's total rubber machinery, which was an increase of 1.5 percentage points. Except for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, sales revenue maintained growth. The large-scale corporateization of the rubber machinery industry from 2007 onwards continues, and the industry concentration continues to increase. The number of companies with sales revenue exceeding 200 million U.S. dollars increased from 3 in the previous year to 4; U.S. companies with 100 to 200 million U.S. dollars; 4 companies with 50 million U.S. to 100 million U.S. dollars; and 15 companies with sales revenue of 8 companies. 30 million to 50 million US dollars.
The fastest growth in Southeast Asia
In terms of region, the rubber machinery market in Southeast Asia has the fastest growth rate of 31%; followed by China, it is 22%. China's rubber machinery market accounts for 27% of the global market share and ranks first in the world for seven consecutive years. In 2010, China's tire industry accumulated a total investment of 35.44 billion yuan, an increase of 29.5% over the same period of last year. The growth rate was higher than the growth rate of the entire society's fixed-asset investment by 5 percentage points; Southeast Asia is a major producer of natural rubber, in the case of high global natural rubber prices The investment in rubber processing has increased rapidly. At the same time, multinational corporations such as Bridgestone and Yokohama have also increased investment in Southeast Asia; India’s investment in tires has not diminished, and these have formed strong demand for rubber machinery. However, a large part of the Indian rubber machinery market is occupied by Chinese manufacturers, and it is expected that China’s export value of India’s exports will account for more than 40% of total exports. Japan is the only region where the rubber machinery market has shrunk. Due to the investment in the rubber industry, the market demand for Japanese rubber machinery has been declining.
In terms of products, the main driving force for the growth of the rubber machinery market is the tire machinery. The world's tire giants set off a new investment in tire investment. In 2010, the world’s major tire manufacturers have successively launched an investment budget of over 8 billion U.S. dollars. This figure is more than three times that of 2009 and is the second highest investment budget in 25 years. The demand for tire machinery has grown rapidly. Tire machinery manufacturers are mostly full of tasks and their sales revenues are growing. Relatively speaking, the growth in non-tire machinery demand lags behind, with non-tire equipment supplier Degussa Germany's sales revenue falling by 32%, ranking from 5th in 2009 to 14th in 2010.
Completely out of the bottom
With the strong recovery of the world tire market, tire companies have substantially increased their investment and formed a peak demand for the rubber machinery market. Due to strong market demand, the world's rubber machinery industry quickly emerged from the bottom. In 2010, the sales revenue of rubber machinery in the world increased by 12.6% and entered the fast development track.
Out of the shackles of the financial crisis, rubber machinery manufacturers are now producing and selling. Among the 31 companies, there are 10 companies with sales revenue growth of more than 30%, and only 6 companies have fallen slightly, indicating that the world's rubber machinery has reached the bottom.
The sales revenue of China's rubber machinery enterprises accounted for 33% of the total sales revenue of rubber machinery in the world, an increase of one percentage point from last year. The 13 companies entered the top 31, with the top 10 occupying 3 seats and the top 5 occupying 2 seats. The investment in tires in China and India is now in full swing. These tire investment projects provide broad market prospects for rubber machinery. At present, the main rubber machine manufacturers, especially tire machinery manufacturers, have orders saturated, and some companies have already scheduled production until 2012.
German HF Corporation has recently started production of tire building machines that have never been involved. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' Tire Machinery Division also announced the development of internal mixers. Kobe Steel announced that it has established a joint venture with Larsenbello Rubber Machinery to produce mixers for Europe. And the Indian market, these signs indicate that the traditional rubber giant will not easily give up the rubber machine plate.
