The recent publication of Shandong provincial government’s 2022 six department work plan states that the authorities are promoting the elimination of outdated production capacity. Within that, it is worth noting that the tyre industry is described as a regulatory priority. Specifically, if a tyre manufacturer’s annual output cannot reach 1.2 million all-steel radial tyres (excluding engineering tyres, aviation tyres and wide-section tubeless tyres) or 5 million semi-steel radial tyres (excluding run-flat tyres, high-end racing tyres, and ultra-low profile tyres), it is highly likely to be forced to integrate or exit.
