Zhongce Rubber Ranks on Fortune China 500 for the First Time! Secures 343rd Position

July 21, 2026, the 2026 Fortune China 500 List was released with great impact. As a leading domestic tire enterprise, Zhongce Rubber Group ranked on the list for the first time with strong momentum, securing the 343rd position with an operating revenue of 6254.6 million US dollars.

Outstanding "Report Card" Delivered in First Year on Capital Market

As a dazzling "newcomer" in this year's list, Zhongce Rubber's first annual report card after listing on the A-share capital market was quite outstanding. In 2025, the company's core indicators improved comprehensively: operating revenue reached 44.956 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.52%; net profit reached 4.147 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.51%; non-recurring net profit surged dramatically by 22.15% to 4.058 billion yuan, demonstrating excellent market competitiveness and profit quality. While performance grew significantly, the company announced a generous dividend plan exceeding 1.2 billion yuan, with a dividend ratio as high as 30.15%, showing sincere commitment to returning value to investors.

Qualitative "Transformation" in New Energy Support, Strong Momentum in Production and Sales

Steady performance growth stems from the comprehensive flowering of core businesses. As the world's largest full-steel tire manufacturer, Zhongce Rubber holds about 12% of the global market share for full-steel tires, with overseas sales growth exceeding 20%, and an annual production and sales ratio as high as 102%, with capacity utilization near full load; the semi-steel tire business also showed a trend of increasing volume and price, with domestic semi-steel tire sales expected to reach about 45 million units in 2026.

The biggest highlight lies in the historic "qualitative transformation" in the new energy support market. In 2025, the company's new energy passenger car supporting tires exceeded 10.7 million units. Not only did it become the first enterprise globally to launch a series of dedicated tires for new energy commercial vehicles, but it also became a core original equipment tire supplier for top new energy vehicle manufacturers such as BYD, XPeng, and Geely. At the same time, the company successfully achieved original equipment designation for high-end benchmark models such as the Maextro S800 Collector's Edition and AITO M6, steadily promoting the support process for models under the Hongmeng Intelligent Driving brand, breaking the monopoly of foreign capital, and achieving a historic breakthrough for Chinese tire brands in the field of high-end vehicle original equipment.

Heavy R&D Investment and AI Empowerment, Technical Breakthroughs Lead the Industry

On the technology innovation front, Zhongce Rubber won the Second Prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award for its systematic breakthroughs in high-performance tires and green intelligent manufacturing. In 2025, the company's R&D investment reached as high as 1.543 billion yuan. Relying on the two core technology systems "Tiangong" and "Tianji" independently developed, it accelerated the conversion of frontier scientific and technological achievements into industrial advantages. At the same time, the company comprehensively accelerated the construction of "Future Factories", vigorously developed full-chain applications of AI technology, and injected strong momentum for high-quality development with new quality productive forces.

Globalized Capacity Matrix, Effectively Hedging Trade Risks

On the globalization layout front, Zhongce Rubber, relying on the full commissioning of production bases in Thailand and Indonesia, as well as the steady promotion of the new base in Vietnam, has built a robust globalized capacity matrix. Overseas income proportion has reached 48%, effectively hedging international trade risks.

Raking on the Fortune China 500 for the first time is a milestone, and even more so a new starting point. In the future, Zhongce Rubber will continue to delve deep into its main business, empower intelligent manufacturing with hardcore technology, and develop with a global vision. It will contribute Zhongce power to the comprehensive leap of the Chinese tire industry, and firmly move steadily towards the goal of becoming a world-class tire enterprise.
