LANXESS commissioned by China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC) implementation study shows that in foreign policy Forced tire upgrade export and domestic policies to eliminate backward production capacity, increasing the degree of consumer acceptance under the environment, in 2015 the overall tire green market rate is expected to exceed 20%, while the figure in 2010 was only about 2%; 2020, green tires will account for more than 60% of the national tire market.

With nearly 10 years of rapid development of China's automobile industry, China has become the world's largest tire producer and market. But domestic enterprises tire unreasonable product structure, product homogeneity serious cause a price war intensified, overcapacity contradiction. In addition, the US and Europe tire energy saving, safety and other aspects of technical requirements for tighter regulations for export-oriented enterprises and products caused by technical barriers; domestic resource crisis and environmental pollution is imminent, the industry overall policy to encourage the development of green tires, and will gradually establish quasi industry the product capacity thresholds and backward elimination mechanism.

In March of this year, China Rubber Industry Association has issued "green tire technical specifications", and started to promote fuel-efficient "green tire" development projects, requiring that by 2015, 50% of Chinese tire manufacturers to produce green tires, which have not less than 50% of capacity is green tire, the total capacity of more than 25% of the green tire. China Automotive Technology and Research Center, Institute of Automotive IT Wang Weinan, said: "green tires in the country is expected to achieve industrialization will basically follow the" first half of steel-steel, replacing after the first wife, after the first voluntary mandatory, after the first new product old products "principle."
