美国针对韩、台、泰、越半钢胎“双反”终裁税率落地。以史为鉴：“双反”短期会冲击出口，但长期影响趋弱。此次“双反”预计冲击有限，短暂扰动不改成长大势。美国商务部发布针对进口自韩、台、泰、越半钢胎的“双反”终裁税率，整体 税率基本维持初裁结果。终裁结果落地有望消除此次“双反”带来的不确定因 素，我们认为税率水平对国内头部轮胎企东南亚工厂的生产经营影响有限。

展望下半年，国内外需求将继续复苏。而中长期维度，碳中和背景下的产业升级与集中度提升将是未来几年行业发展的主基调。我们维持行业强于大市评级，尤其看好优秀龙头企业长期发展。

Coatings are applied to a variety of surfaces using different application techniques. Coatings are useful for color retention, water-proofing, water-shedding, rust and corrosion, self-cleaning, and anti-microbial properties. The benefits of coatings on surfaces include aesthetic and physical appeal derived from the coating materials. To protect buildings from stains, watermarks, and discoloration, end-users apply decorative coatings. The coatings industry is highly structured, and decorative coatings are used by various end-users, such as residential and non-residential sectors. Growing populations and rapid urbanization are driving the construction of new houses and commercial offices, and government initiatives favor infrastructure and industrial development, which is driving the decorative coatings market. The growing awareness of eco-friendliness is raising the demand for low-VOC products. The coating market is fragmented with a large number of players available in the market in almost all regions of the world. There are also several regional manufacturers. Around 10-12 established multinational manufacturers have expanded their operations to countries such as India and China.

The antimicrobial coating industry is a billion-dollar sector and is growing rapidly. Antimicrobial coatings are applications of chemical agents applied on several surfaces to inhibit the growth of microbes. Microorganisms cannot be seen using the naked eye, and it becomes very difficult for an individual to know whether bad or good microbes contaminate a surface. Hence, antimicrobial coatings are used to inhibit the growth of microbial breeding on a surface. Antimicrobial coatings protect against microbes and protect surfaces from degradation as they cause no discoloration, leech, or affect the final look of the surface.

Synthesis gas, referred to as syngas, is a fuel gas composed mostly of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and a certain amount of carbon dioxide. Syngas is the result of gasification and the major application of syngas is electricity generation. It serves as an ideal choice for processing of liquid and gaseous fuel. Power generation companies are turning to a number of alternatives, including syngas. Furthermore, rise in environmental issues and implementation of government policies to encourage use of renewable fuels boost the market growth.
