<title>Tire Manufacturers</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-3289.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[The US tire manufacturing industry consists of about 100 companies with combined annual revenue of $13 billion. Major companies include Goodyear, Bridgestone, Michelin, and Cooper. The industry is highly concentrated: the top four companies generate more than 75 percent of revenue.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand is driven by sales of new vehicles and the need for replacement tires. Because tires are largely a commodity, profitability depends on cost-efficient operations. Small companies can compete by producing tires or tire-related products for niche markets, such as bicycles or farm equipment. Large companies can afford the research to develop tires from new, technologically advanced materials, and can invest in improving production efficiency. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is over $200,000.

<description> <![CDATA[The US plastic and rubber products manufacturing industry includes about 16,000 companies with combined annual revenue of $215 billion. Major companies include divisions of DuPont, Pactiv, Textron, and Mark IV Industries. The highly fragmented industry has hundreds of niches, determined by material type, manufacturing process, and end-use.   Tire manufacturers are covered in a separate industry profile.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Because plastic products are widely used in industry and as consumer products, demand depends on the health of the US economy. The profitability of individual companies depends on product mix and production efficiency. Large companies have economies of scale in buying raw materials and in manufacturing commodity products such as bottles and plastic film. Small companies can compete effectively by specializing. The industry is labor-intensive: annual revenue per worker is about $220,000.

<description> <![CDATA[The US scrap metals-recycling industry includes about 8,000 companies with combined annual revenue of $30 billion.

Large companies that collect trash as well as recyclable products such as paper, plastic, and glass include Waste Management and Republic Services. A typical local scrap metal processor has annual revenue under $5 million. The industry is fragmented and local because the low value-to-weight ratio of most scrap discourages long-distance transportation. The top 50 companies hold generage about 50 percent of revenue.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand from the steel, auto, and construction industries drives the scrap metal industry. The profitability of individual companies depends on cultivating relationships with suppliers and buyers. Most companies are small and compete by specializing in one type of material in their local market. Large companies have economies of scale ]]></description>

<description> <![CDATA[In the US, about 7,000 companies distribute steel and other metals, with combined annual revenue of $200 billion. Major companies include Ryerson, Metals USA, Reliance Steel & Aluminum, and ThyssenKrupp Steel. The industry is fragmented: the 50 largest companies generate less than 50 percent of revenue.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  The health of the manufacturing and construction industries drives demand for steel. A distributor&rsquo;s sales volume determines profitability because many costs are fixed. Large distributors benefit from economies of scale in purchasing, processing, and distribution.

Major companies include PolyOne, DuPont, Dow Chemical, Eastman Chemical, Solutia, and BASF. The industry is highly concentrated: the top 50 companies have more than 80 percent of the market.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand depends on the level of manufacture of plastic products, which is closely linked to US industrial production. Because resin manufacture is a high-volume process, the profitability of individual companies depends on operating efficiencies. Large companies have significant economies of scale in production and in the purchase of raw materials. Smaller companies can compete effectively by producing specialty resins and fibers. Many smaller companies buy commodity resins from large producers and rework them into specialty compounds. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue is about $900,000 per worker.
