Sealability is an important indicator to measure the quality of automobiles, which has led to the emergence of automobile sealing strips, which are mostly used in automobile doors, front and rear windshields, boot, windows and other parts to fill gaps in body parts, so as to achieve certain effects of sound insulation, shock absorption, dust prevention, waterproof and decoration. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's automobile industry, automobile sealing strip manufacturing, as an automobile related industry, has greatly improved the production and manufacturing level of automobile sealing strips in China through the introduction of foreign advanced technology and equipment and continuous technical transformation, which basically meets the market demand of domestic automobile industry for sealing strips.
According to different raw materials, automobile sealing strips are mainly divided into three categories: plastic sealing strips, rubber sealing strips and thermoplastic elastomer sealing strips. Among them, the plastic sealing strip is mainly made of natural rubber, neoprene rubber and soft PVC. It has the advantages of easy recovery, easy processing and low manufacturing cost, but its mechanical performance and environmental protection are poor. It is the early automobile sealing strip product in China. Unlike plastic sealing strips, rubber sealing strips have gradually become the preferred material for automobile sealing strips in China in recent years due to their good weather resistance, heat resistance, ozone resistance, ultraviolet resistance and processing performance. In addition, a number of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE, TPV, etc.) sealing strip products have also appeared in China, which have also been applied in the process of automobile processing and production in China.
In recent years, with the sustained and stable development of the economy, the income level of urban and rural residents in China has been continuously improved, and the domestic transportation infrastructure has been increasingly improved. There is still a large room for residents to increase their demand for cars. According to the relevant data released by the Ministry of public security, by the first half of 2020, China's car ownership had reached 2. 700 million. As an essential product of the automobile manufacturing industry, automobile sealing strips have achieved a certain market scale in recent years, reaching 176 in 2019. 200 million yuan, which still has development potential in the next few years.
From the perspective of enterprises, there are a large number of enterprises engaged in the production and manufacturing of automobile sealing strips in China, which are divided into joint ventures / foreign-funded enterprises and local enterprises, of which joint ventures / foreign-funded enterprises still occupy the leading position in the domestic automobile sealing strip Market.
