Official agencies forecast a global natural rubber supply gap of around 280,000 tons in 2026. Output has declined in major rubber-producing countries such as Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. Coupled with drought in producing regions, natural rubber output falls far short of market demand.
Affected by geopolitical tensions, butadiene — the core raw material for synthetic rubber — remains in tight supply, with its price hitting a record high. This forces downstream manufacturers to switch to natural rubber as a substitute, further pushing up overall rubber costs.
Many industry giants including Chaoyang stated that the current price adjustment range is far lower than the actual rise in raw material costs. Some specifications such as all-steel tires have even put manufacturers in losses due to expensive raw materials. Companies have no choice but to issue price increase notices to pass on part of the cost pressure.
Since the price notices from multiple firms are valid through October, and further hikes cannot be ruled out, dealers and customers with procurement needs are advised to place orders and stock up in advance to cope with the upcoming price surge and maximize profit margins!

Shipping empty space in a container directly inflates your landed cost per tire. This comprehensive guide breaks down the loading capacity of a standard 40HQ container for popular TBR truck tire specifications (including 315/80R22.5, 12R22.5, and 13R22.5). It covers a step-by-step mathematical model balancing volumetric space, 30% herringbone cross-stacking density gains, and local highway weight limits for key markets like Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Chile. Furthermore, it outlines practical tire nesting solutions (Doubling and Tripling) that allow buyers to cut average ocean freight costs by up to 30% without risking tire bead deformation or damage.
