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.

Scooters: The New Menace On Australian Roads?

As the new motorcycle market heads for a record year here in Australia, buoyed by increased demand for scooters, a recent survey conducted by insurance company AAMI asserts that "one-third (33 per cent) of drivers nationally said that scooters were the new menace on Australia's capital city roads."

Now major motoring authorities such as the FCAI - the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries - have come out and rubbished AAMI's claims, essentially calling the company's surveyors a pack a liars. "The industry totally rejects these claims," said FCAI chief executive, Andrew McKellar. "AAMI has sought to draw a very long bow here. The claims are not supported by their own research." The (FCAI) and the affiliated Australian Scooter Federation (ASF) questioned the substance of the suggestions based on the survey findings, and delivered their own media release that pours scorn on the AAMI survey.

"I must say the industry is somewhat puzzled by the assertions contained in that press release, and the motives behind them, but generally if a question in a survey receives only 33 per cent support, then it suggests that 67 per cent did not support that view," said Mr McKellar. "The FCAI believes that the growing numbers of scooter riders are legitimate road users, and like most other road users the majority of them are responsible and sensible." The FCAI wasn't the only group that weighed into the 'scooter scourge' debate. InsureMyRide, a new Australian specialist online insurer of bikes and scooters, also refutes the AAMI survey, suggesting that 'riders' usually have a better perspective of shared road usage and its risks than car drivers.

Scooters: Long-Term Investment or Short-Term Remedy?

This market forecast refers to numbers for on-road gas-powered scooters only. There are differences between scooters and mopeds, although many communities seem to consider them identical for legislative purposes. This article does not include the more traditional mopeds or motorized bicycles such as the Whizzer or Tomos. It also excludes electric scooters, although that niche is growing in popularity as evidenced by the number of distributors that are investigating importing hybrid and electric scooters. Gopeds, g-scooters or foot scooters also are not included in the forecast calculations.

Contrary To Some Earlier Forecasts, the overall scooter market in 2007 actually experienced a slight downturn. Sales of scooter units by the OEMs reporting to the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC) were flat compared to the volumes sold in 2006, whereas scooter sales by nontraditional brands actually declined. Total estimated sales for last year stood at 149,000 units, down more than 5 percent from the number of scooters sold by dealers in 2006.

However, it appears that last year's market decline was only a temporary dip. By the last quarter of 2007 the scooter market was heating up again, and has been generating considerable growth so far in 2008.

Scooter defined by electricity, portability

It's energy efficient, it's clean, compact and simple, and, above all, it's very cool. All of these factors could be significant in getting people to adopt a lightweight, electrically powered scooter designed by William J. Mitchell, the Alexander W. Dreyfoos Professor of Architecture and Media Arts and Sciences, and several of his students in MIT's Smart Cities Group, in collaboration with SYM, a major scooter manufacturer in Taiwan, and ITRI, Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute. A prototype of the new design was a hit at the Milan Auto Show, where it was unveiled earlier this month.

Motor scooters are a very popular form of transportation in Asian and European cities, Mitchell said, because they provide convenient, inexpensive transportation. But conventional scooters, using inefficient two-stroke gas engines, are also a source of local air pollution. The new design "was all about providing a clean, green, silent electric scooter that would provide, even better, the same kind of urban mobility," he said. As an added bonus, the simplicity of the electric design, which eliminates the powertrain by putting motors directly inside each of the two wheels, made it possible to design the scooter so that it could be folded up to about half its size, making it even easier to store in crowded urban environments.

"In very dense urban areas where scooter parking is a big issue, the small size is a big advantage. It makes it possible to park it in narrow streets and alleys," Mitchell said. When folded, it can also be easily wheeled along like a trolley suitcase, and is no larger, making it easy to take along on trains or even indoors.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scooters rapidly catching on with U.S. consumers

Scooters have long been a popular form of transportation in most of the world, particularly the Far East, India, Latin America and European countries such as Italy, Spain and France. Their popularity stems from not only their affordability and relative mechanical simplicity, but also their convenience with parking in urban environments and over-crowded locations. In the United States, up until recently, scooters have never really caught on. There was a period in the 1980s when sales volumes were strong, but that was largely buoyed by massive advertising campaigns, and when these ended the market rapidly contracted to the core of existing scooter enthusiasts.

The automobile has long been the transportation of choice since Americans generally are better off financially and are not subject to the crowded areas and narrow streets prevalent in much of the rest of the world. Indications are, however, that this may be changing. In recent years, U.S. scooter sales have been surging as their popularity is growing among college students, retirees, RV owners and inner-city commuters.

And the motorcycle exports in 2010 is expected to be achieved over 20% growth. On the press conference of China International Motorcycle and Parts Fair, the principal of China Chamber of pocket bike Commerce said, we should be notice that China's motorcycle industry which relying on the external demand is not a backward production capacity, its structural adjustment is very difficult and also requires a long time but the electric bike of stable quality and low-emission of emission compliance electric bikes accord with the global household items environmental protection trend. Therefore, currently the fitness equipment government will firm export and keep share at the same time adjust the structural. So we should increase policy support of developing new product and accelerate the electric bike transition of industry's export growth pattern. At the same time, we must increase ATV the export credit insurance and credit skyrunner support to help enterprises dare to take a single and make more transaction and scooters export. As reported, the First China scooters International Motorcycle and Parts Fair will hold on June 11 to 13, 2010 in Beijing pole Agricultural Exhibition Hall, hosted by the Ministry of Commerce to promote international exchanges and cooperation of motorcycle industry.
