However, the company is having a long-term business relationship of 10 years on average with their major customer. This show that the company is handling their client well all the time.
Major Suppliers
The Group’s top 5 major suppliers for FYE 2021
According to the details, the top 5 suppliers are over 60 % of all the suppliers. The management mentioned they are not dependent on any of the major suppliers as other suppliers in the market sell similar raw materials at similar prices. This also reflects that SFP Tech can easily swap the suppliers to maintain the quality of the raw material. However, most of the raw material is imported from oversea, and the weakening of Malaysia's currency might affect the cost in the future because the company does not have any long-term agreement with the suppliers.
Industry Overview
According to the research from Smith Zander International Sdn Bhd, the block rubber processing industry in Malaysia, as represented by the production volume of block rubber declined slightly from 1.38 million MTS in 2018 to 1.34 million MTS in 2019 but improved to 1.51 million MTS in 2020, and registered a CAGR of 4.60% during this period. However, the production volume of block rubber declined by 20.53% YOY from 1.20 million MTS in 2018 to 1.04 million MTS in 2019, improved and returned to 1.09 million MTS in 2020, and subsequently decreased to 1.03million MTS in 2021. The rate of recovery in export volume in 2020 was relatively lower than the recovery in production volume due to the temporary global slowdown in the manufacturing of tyres and vehicle parts. In 2021, while production volume declined, the export volume for block rubber from Malaysia remained relatively stable, supported by strong demand for SMR grades.
Approximately 70% of global natural rubber is used for tyre manufacturing, hence block rubber as one of the main raw materials for tyre manufacturing is driven by the automotive industry. In 2021, as the economy gradually recovers from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and with the upliftment of lockdown measures, consumer sentiment and purchasing power improved. As a result, vehicle production increased by 3.90% YOY to 80 million units in 2021. The world vehicle sector is expected to grow further with the increase of vehicle production from 80 million units in 2021 to 105 million units in 2025, at a CAGR of 7.03%, supported by the stimuli introduced by the various governments. With the increasing number of vehicles produced and sold as well as the replacement of worn-out tyres during vehicle maintenance, the demand for tyres increased, which drives the rubber processing industry.
