The tariff shock has caused a great stir in the chemical industry. How can XCPS cross - linked polys

Challenges facing the chemical industry under the new changes in international trade

As the international trade landscape continues to evolve, China-U.S. trade relations have always attracted global attention. Recently, the Trump administration of the United States announced the implementation of a major trade policy: to establish a10%of"Minimum base tariff"On this basis, higher tariffs were imposed on dozens of countries and regions including China, with tariffs on China as high as34%This move was like a huge rock dropped into the water, causing a thousand waves in the global trade field, especially having a profound impact on the chemical trade between China and the United States.

Sino-US chemical tradeThe shrinking trend is obvious

As an important hub of the Sino-US industrial chain, the chemical industry is both a supplier of basic materials and a core link in high-end manufacturing.34%What impact will tariffs have on the domestic energy and chemical products market?

2024According to the data from 2017, Sino-US petrochemical trade"Bidirectional contraction"In that year, the value of China’s petrochemical exports to the United States increased by5.8%,243.8billion US dollars, but its share of global exports has increased from6.7%Down to6.4%, indicating that the importance of the US market is gradually decreasing. In terms of imports, the amount of petrochemical products imported by China from the United States has slightly decreased.0.2%,to398.4The trade deficit narrowed to154.6Billions of dollars.

Affected by the additional tariffs imposed by the United States, all futures products related to petrochemical products weakened.2024China's imports of U.S. energy and chemical products in 2018 showed that the import categories mainly included ethane, propane, polyethylene, ethylene glycol,EVA, natural gas and crude oil, especially propane and ethane and their derivatives.

XCPS material counterattack machineEncounter

Facing the impact of the Sino-US tariff policy, Corevo Technology, as a domesticXCPS cross-linked polystyrene materialAs a leading enterprise in the industry, we believe that the tariff policy between China and the United States is an opportunity in the midst of danger. The importance of industrial upgrading, domestic substitution, and independent control in my country's chemical industry is becoming increasingly prominent, which will bring new development opportunities to the industry.

The tariff policy is expected to become a catalyst for accelerating the substitution of imports for domestic cross-linked polystyrene materials.XCPSCross-linked polystyrene materialIts performance is comparable to similar international materials, and some indicators even exceed similar foreign products. In the field of independent control, domestic companies have demonstrated obvious advantages: faster service response, higher logistics and transportation efficiency, and lower raw material costs, which can help companies reduce costs and increase efficiency, and significantly improve operational efficiency.

Response strategies and future prospects

The magnitude and characteristics of this round of tariff increases cannot be ignored, and the impact on my country's exports and economy cannot be ignored. China's chemical industry needs to actively explore countermeasures:

1、Accelerating technological innovation: Increase product added value and reduce dependence on imported raw materials.

2、Expanding overseas markets：Open up diversified export channels and diversify trade risks.

3、Strengthening industry collaboration：Improve the industrial chain layout and enhance the overall industrial resilience.

Only in this way can China's chemical industry move forward steadily amid the trade war and achieve sustainable development.XCPSFor the cross-linked polystyrene materials industry, seizing opportunities and achieving technological breakthroughs and market expansion will be the key to winning the future.
