News summary
A weekly tire-sector research report from Orient Securities, published via Sina Finance on 9 November 2026, says 13 tire manufacturers announced price increases between 30 October and 3 November. Most announced increases were in the 2%–5% range.
Market details
The research links pricing decisions to elevated raw-material costs. It cited an N330 reference price of CNY 9,500/t as of 6 November, down 1.04% week on week. It also reported sample operating rates of 64.30% for passenger-car tires and 58.01% for truck tires as of 5 November. The N330 snapshot must not be conflated with a different publisher’s average over an entire week.
Analysis of this news
Tire selling-price announcements do not automatically translate into stronger carbon black purchases. If tire operating rates remain subdued, demand for reinforcing blacks may stay selective. Procurement schedules, tire output and inventories therefore matter as much as the headline price announcements.
