Gunfire in the Siem Reap-Surin border area has jolted global rubber markets. Thailand, supplying 38% of China’s rubber imports, and Cambodia’s border-producing zones face disrupted supply due to closed checkpoints, sparking farmer anxiety and choked logistics—threatening Southeast Asian tire hubs.​
Rubber futures spiked nearly 3% to 15,585 yuan, signaling cost pressures for tire makers. Rubber accounts for 35-45% of tire production costs; the surge could raise manufacturing expenses by 8-10%, squeezing small firms already struggling with thin margins.​
Tire price trends may shift in Q3: symbolic 2-3% hikes to test markets, "hidden" increases via reduced low-end promotions, or real hikes by strong brands.​
Yet rising prices are tough. Sluggish sales leave channels bloated with old stock. Dealers resist hikes, fearing "price inversion" (selling below new factory prices). China’s tire sector, mired in homogeneity, lacks pricing power to pass costs on, risking slimmer profits and more closures.

In 2025, the tire distribution channel faces unprecedented challenges: sluggish market demand, overstocked inventory, fierce price competition, etc. Many tire dealers and retail stores are facing survival problems. In the face of a depressed market, Kazuo Inamori used five business strategies to help enterprises tide over difficulties. Today, these five business strategies are still worth referring to and learning from for tire bosses. Today, I would like to share them with you through this article, hoping to provide some ideas for the operation of each boss.
