Bridgestone said in a statement that due to the decline in production and sales of commercial vehicle tires in the Chinese market, especially the OEM business has been hit.
Although the company has made many internal efforts to optimize production capacity and reduce costs, the effect is still not up to expectations.
After careful consideration, the company decided to terminate the production and sales of commercial vehicle tires in the Chinese market, in order to focus resources on other areas with growth potential.
Bridgestone's commercial vehicle tire business in China used to occupy a certain market share, but in recent yearsthe business situation has gradually deteriorated due to the impact of multiple factors such as declining domesticand international market demand, fierce competition and rising costs.
The company said that this decision is a difficult choice to optimize the allocation of resources and improve the overall operational efficiency.For the Chinese truck tire market, Bridgestone said it will continue to monitor market dynamics and seek opportunities with other partners.
At the same time, the company is committed to providing quality assurance for products sold and in stock to ensure that customers' rights and interests are not affected.
The termination of Bridgestone's commercial vehicle tire business in China will have a certain impact on the Chinese truck tire market.
On the one hand, it will accelerate the rise and development of local Chinese tire brands in the field of commercial vehicle tires;on the other hand, it will also prompt other international brands to reexamine their strategic layout in the Chinese truck tires market.
Overall, Bridgestone's termination of its commercial vehicle tire business in China is a major market event. It will have a farreaching impact on China's tire market and drive the industry's change and development.
We will continue to follow the subsequent development of this event and the future direction of the Chinese tire market.
