我国胶管胶带出口规模稳步增长

Core Insights - The export of China's rubber hose and belt products is steadily increasing, while imports are gradually decreasing, indicating a strong domestic market expansion and improved domestic substitution capabilities [1][2] - From 2020 to the first half of 2025, the export scale of China's rubber hose and belt industry is significantly larger than that of imports, with the total export value of conveyor belts, hoses, and drive belts being approximately 3.5 times the import value and the total export volume about 15.4 times the import volume [1] Industry Performance - The conveyor belt sector shows strong self-sufficiency and significant export potential, although it faces anti-dumping investigations; the hose industry has been growing steadily, leading in export value among the three product categories, but still relies heavily on imports for high-value-added products; the drive belt sector has seen an increase in added value, with narrowing price gaps compared to foreign products, yet it remains less competitive internationally [1][2] Pricing Dynamics - Despite the growth in export scale, the industry continues to face a "low-price export, high-price import" situation, with the average export prices of all three product categories being lower than their import prices, indicating that exports are primarily mid-to-low-end products while high-value-added products are still imported [2] Strategic Recommendations - The industry should abandon low-quality, low-price competition and focus on mid-to-high-end markets to enhance core competitiveness and achieve qualitative and quantitative growth [2] - Increased R&D investment is necessary to align with trends in green low-carbon and new productivity, aiming for differentiated development and customized services [2] - The industry must be vigilant against global economic uncertainties and trade barriers, leveraging policy benefits such as "timely interest rate cuts" and "support for technological innovation" [2] - While maintaining traditional partnerships, the industry should capitalize on opportunities from initiatives like the "Belt and Road" and RCEP agreements to explore emerging markets and uncover export potential [2]
