目前，我国合成橡胶行业拥有世界上“四个第一”：一是表观消费量第一。随着近年来我国经济的高速发展，橡胶消费量迅速攀升，目前我国橡胶消费量约占世界总消费量的30%。二是合成橡胶产能第一。我国合成橡胶的产能接近世界产能的30%。三是进口量第一。受纬度地域限制，我国天然橡胶种植区域有限，产量远不能满足需求。同时，合成橡胶产需结构不匹配，天然橡胶和合成橡胶进口量大，占世界总产量的20%。四是橡胶下游产品轮胎的产量第一。据统计，2019年，世界年产轮胎量为22亿条，我国产量为8.4亿条，约占世界总产量的40%。

据USTMA，预计美国轮胎2022 年总出货量达3.421 亿条，同比2021年上涨2.1%。在配套市场，乘用车、轻型卡车和卡车的轮胎出货量将分别增长4.8%、4.8%和7.8%，合计增加250 万条；在替换市场，乘用车、轻型卡车和卡车的轮胎出货量将分别增长0.9%、2.3%和6.5%，合计增加440 万条，美国轮胎市场出货量保持平稳增长。

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the thermoplastic composites market. Thermoplastic composites (TMCs) evolved from structural polymer composites. These materials do not experience chemical instability because they utilize a thermoplastic matrix. When heated, TMCs soften and can be remolded without degradation. When they cool, they solidify into the finished shape.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the thermoforming plastic market. Thermoforming is a plastic molding technique that results in a variety of highly usable products. During this manufacturing process, thin plastic sheets are heated in order to make them easy to manipulate. Once a sheet reaches a pliable temperature, it is formed over a male or female mold.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the thermoelectric modules market. A thermoelectric (TE) module, also called a thermoelectric cooler or Peltier cooler, is a semiconductor-based electronic component that functions as a small heat pump, moving heat from one side of the device to the other.
