Strengthen channel construction
Western Securities said that since this year, the downturn in overseas demand has prompted tire companies to seize domestic markets. The relevant research shows that the domestic tire industry has gradually completed the withdrawal and merger of small enterprises. Under the background of initial improvement of concentration, the channel dispute will become the main battlefield at present. The channel dispute is more three-dimensional than the price war, which is an organic combination of channel profit, channel stickiness, channel cognition and terminal recognition. Seizing channel resources and achieving a new level of concentration is one of the main focuses of domestic market in the next 1-2 years.
Taking Linglong tire as an example, the company cooperates with Tencent cloud and Chinese intelligent. After the intelligent retail system is online, Linglong tire will rely on offline stores and intelligent retail systems all over the country, and meet the customized, personalized and diversified product and service needs of consumers through Internet synergy effect, and realize the richer store products, more professional services and greater profits.
