Recently, the fourth council meeting of the 10th Rubber Additives Professional Committee of China Rubber Industry Association was held in Qingdao, with more than 30 council representatives participating.

It was learned from the meeting that customs data showed that the total industrial output value of China's rubber additives from January to July increased by 24.41% year on year (the same below), and the sales revenue increased by 19.06%. The total output decreased by 3.16%, of which the output of accelerant increased by 5.36% and the output of antioxidant decreased by 5.33%.

According to customs data, the export market is the highlight of this year. In terms of product export, except that the export volume in February was less than 30000 tons due to the impact of the Spring Festival, the export volume in the rest of the month remained at about 32000 tons, and the export delivery volume in the first seven months increased by 7.23%. According to customs data, the export delivery value increased by 40.73%, of which the export value in June exceeded 1 billion yuan, a record high.

According to customs data, from the current export situation, the momentum is still relatively strong, and the annual export delivery value is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan.

In contrast, this year's domestic market demand is in sharp contrast to the export market. The low operating rate of domestic all steel tires, few orders and difficult shipping make rubber auxiliary enterprises fall into vicious competition at low prices.

According to the customs data, affected by the sharp rise in raw materials, except for the good profits of antioxidant 6PPD and coke inhibitor CTP, the rubber auxiliary products are all at a low profit, especially insoluble sulfur products, which are operating at a loss.
