SunSirs: US Tire Imports Increase by 5.4%, Benefiting China Rubber Market
January 13 2026 10:58:55 SunSirs (Selena)
The latest data shows that in the first 10 months of 2025, the United States imported a total of 2,400.01 million tires, a year-on-year increase of 5.4%.
The year-on-year increase of 5.4% in tire imports in the United States indicates an increase in demand. Nitrile rubber, as a raw material for tires, may lead to a rise in spot prices due to tight supply, which is a significant but not extreme positive factor.
The increase in tire demand has driven up the spot demand for styrene butadiene rubber, and it is expected that the price will rise moderately, with a rating of generally positive or above, as import growth data supports bullish expectations.
The increase in US tire imports is favorable for the spot price of butadiene rubber, and the boost in demand may lead to a tight supply and demand in the market. The rating is based on moderate positive data.
The growth in tire imports has boosted the demand for natural rubber spot and futures. Futures contract 2605 closed at 16,130 RMB/ton, up 10 RMB, with a holding volume of 200,506 lots. Increased demand may further drive up futures prices, with significant positive factors.
