ANIP is Concerned About the Tariff War
ANIP views with great concern the tariff movements being carried out by the U.S. government. With the increase in tariffs, Asian countries, which are being heavily penalized, are expected to intensify their exports to other markets. Brazil could be one of their preferred targets, which tends to further intensify the entry of imported products into the country, jeopardizing the competitiveness of the domestic industry and threatening the maintenance of jobs and investments in the sector.
Without an aggressive trade defense, the country may become the main destination for these exports, running the risk of increasing its deindustrialization. For about 4 years we have been facing the invasion of imported tires from Asia that often enter the country at prices below the production cost of national tires.
Even if the federal government maintains all current trade defense mechanisms, the sector understands that strict protective and control measures are needed to limit potential increases in imports. Strict measures to protect the local industry will be necessary.
The association believes that the Brazilian government is negotiating to mitigate these risks in defense of local production. Currently, the tire industry has 21 factories, from 11 manufacturers, located in 7 states in the country, with production capacity to meet the national market. The sector generates 32,000 direct jobs and more than 500,000 indirect jobs, and the entire production chain is at risk. Additionally, the sector has a strong environmental role in the reverse logistics of unusable tires through Reciclanip.
About ANIP
Founded in 1960, the National Association of the Tire Industry (ANIP) represents the tire and inner tube industry based in Brazil, which includes 11 companies and 21 factories located in Brazil. The sector directly employs 32,000 people, and considering the entire chain, about 500,000 people indirectly.
ANIP has been working on the National Program for the Collection and Disposal of Unusable Tires since 1999, and in 2007, the national tire manufacturers created Reciclanip, an entity exclusively dedicated to carrying out this work in the country. Reciclanip is a benchmark in reverse logistics, being the largest in Latin America in the tire sector, servicing more than 1,000 collection points distributed throughout the country.
