Profits of listed Chinese tyre companies rise sharply

,

A number of Chinese tyre manufacturers have stated that their net profits significantly increased year-on-year in 2023. Doublestar is one of the few tyre companies that was still losing money. Jiangsu General turned losses into profits. In terms of net profit alone, Sailun’s 3.1 billion yuan suggest the company gradually widened the gap between itself and Linglong. Currently, ZC Rubber has not officially disclosed its operating data for 2023. Therefore, it is not yet possible to judge who is in the leading position in terms of net profit between Sailun and ZC Rubber.
