Detailed volumes determined at the consumer plant level using a tried and tested system benchmarked against a range of industry sources.
Market volumes from 2011 with a range of projections to forward years covering changing technologies and product mixes.
Flexible reporting tailored to client requirements allowing for chemical volume reporting by geography, segment, sub-segment, year and consumer
Covering: Carbon Black, Precipitated Silica, Fillers, Silanes, Resins, Antidegradants, Process Oils, Process Aids.
Interactive Excel Spreadsheet with Master Pivot Tables
Typically there are three key deliverables for each RCCL Tire Material Report:
First: The best possible estimates for past, current and future volumes for each material and end use category and/or sub category in question. The RCCL system allows for ongoing adjustments based on
newly acquired data, these adjustments are applied universally to the data so that updated reports reflect the most pertinent data. All reports reconcile volumes with the start year 2011 which is
used as the baseline. Please see the video on the database page for more details regarding optimisation of volume calculations.
Second: A pdf report with key figures, discussion points and methodology descriptions.
Third: Excel spreadsheet with master pivot tables which allow for detailed analysis and scenarios which are not possible to present in a formal report format. Emphasis is placed on
providing clients with meaningful flexible data rather than verbose reports.
The example below shows typical report data for tire material consumption (carbon black is shown for this example, however the full range of tire chemicals can be analysed). Data can be
filtered geographically and also based on tire type. The reporting system is extremely flexible, therefore if you would like alternative views (e.g. by tire manufacturer or other parameter) this can be provided for via
prior agreement - please contact RCCL.

| How does RCCL make projections for tire & rubber chemicals? |
|
Market projections are made using a combination of bespoke tools which centre around the Global Tire & Rubber Chemical Database. Final volume projections are a combination of individual consumer capacity, product splits, technologies, and utilisation. Each of these aspects can be varied by year and geographical region and various combinations can be made to give a range of market volume projections. |
|
| Which rubber chemicals can have market volumes projected? |
|
RCCL specialises in carbon black, precipitated silica, silanes, resins, antidegradants, bonding aids, process oils, process aids and curatives. Other chemicals and tire construction materials can be considered upon request. |
|
| How reliable are the market projections? |
|
Market volumes are calculated from 2011 to the present year and are then projected outwards. As with all market projections there is uncertainty with a number of factors which can influence outward years, the RCCL system allows a range of alternative projections which can show the impact of alternative scenarios and which provides some boundaries for projections. A critical aspect for projections is the accurate setting of historic and last full year activities, RCCL has dedicated significant effort into ensuring that past years volumes meet expectations, this is done via a number of different benchmarking techniques to ensure the most accurate base levels are used. |
|
| What geographies do the projections cover? |
|
The Global Tire & Rubber Chemical Database is truly global, it is organised into regions (Africa, China, Europe, CIS, India, Middle East, North America, North Asia, South America, South Asia), these regions can be refined to individual countries and for some regions (North America, Brazil, China, India) it is also possible to refine to state/province level. Because analysis is done at the consumer plant level it is possible to re-assign countries to client defined areas as required. |
|
| What market segments are covered? |
|
The main market segments are Tire and Rubber Goods |
|
| What customers are covered? |
|
All major and medium sized consumers are covered as well as many smaller operators in the developing regions. Tire companies include: Bridgestone, Michelin, Goodyear, Continental, Pirelli, Sumitomo, Hankook, Yokohama, Triangle, Sailun, Cooper, Cheng Shin, Apollo, Cordiant, Fate, JK Tyre, Kenda... Rubber Goods Companies include: Contitech, Trelleborg, Hexpol, CooperStandard, Hutchinson, Sumitomo Riko, Standard Profil, ...) |
|
| Can you provide example data? |
|
Example data is shown on the website and can also be requested by contacting RCCL. |
|
| How is the data provided? |
|
Data is provided in the form of volume offtake for the chemical in question, this can be provided as a formal report with associated Excel workbook with full Pivot Tables, or as just an Excel Workbook. Typically a workbook will consist of multiple sheets each with a separate projection pivot table and separate sheets with consumption maps and figures. |
