1、 Overview of Import and Export in the Rubber Tube Industry

In 2023, the total import volume of rubber hoses in China decreased by 8.8% to 503 million US dollars, the total import volume decreased by 14.2% to 28200 tons, and the average price increased by 6.3% to 17.84 US dollars per kilogram.

The total export value of rubber hoses increased by 6.2% to 1.499 billion US dollars, and the total export value increased by 12.6% to 312400 tons, reaching a new historical high. The average price decreased by 5.8% to 4.8 US dollars per kilogram.

From this, it can be seen that the export scale of rubber hoses in China is much larger than the import scale, and the overall export trend is steadily increasing, while imports are still decreasing overall. This indicates that while China’s rubber hose products are actively expanding overseas markets, they are also doing more and more in domestic substitution.

However, despite the continuous expansion of China’s market share in the global market for rubber hose products, most of the imported rubber hose products are high value-added products, while exports are still mainly low-end cheap products. The situation where China’s rubber hose enterprises are in a price weak position in international trade has not fundamentally improved.
