According to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the production of rubber tires in China in October 2025 was 97.951 million, a year-on-year decrease of 2.5%.

The production of rubber tire outer tires from January to October increased by 1.0% compared to the same period last year, reaching 99.6421 million pieces.

In October 2025, China's rubber tire outer tire production decreased by 2.5% year-on-year, indicating a weakening of downstream demand, which may reduce the consumption of styrene butadiene rubber and have a general negative impact on spot prices. Styrene butadiene rubber is mainly used in tire manufacturing, and the decline in production implies a decrease in procurement volume, which is expected to put downward pressure on spot prices.

The year-on-year decrease of 2.5% in tire production data indicates weak downstream demand, which may suppress the purchase of nitrile rubber and have a general negative impact on spot prices. Nitrile rubber is widely used in tire production, and the expected decrease in demand will lead to an oversupply of spot goods, putting pressure on prices.

Based on a year-on-year decrease of 2.5% in tire production in October, with only a slight increase of 1.0%, it indicates a slowdown in overall demand growth, which may reduce the consumption of butyl rubber and have a general negative impact on spot prices. As a raw material for tires, the weakening demand for butyl rubber will push up inventory and pose a downward risk to spot prices.

The 2.5% decline in tire production data suggests weakened demand, which may reduce the consumption of butadiene rubber. Combined with recent contracts for butadiene rubber futures (such as the closing price of contract 2601 at 10,455 RMB/ton, a decrease of 60 RMB, and a reduction of 632 holdings), it shows a bearish sentiment in the market, which has a general negative impact on both spot and futures prices.

The year-on-year decrease of 2.5% in tire production directly reduces the demand for natural rubber. Combined with recent contracts for natural rubber futures (such as the closing price of contract 2601 at 15,315 RMB/ton, a decrease of 40 RMB, and a reduction of 3,854 holdings), which show sufficient supply and weak demand, it creates general negative pressure on spot and futures prices.
