From the raw rubber demand alone, we can also see the development momentum of the rubber industry. Regarding raw rubber, the main raw materials required for rubber products, natural rubber and various synthetic rubbers, in the first half of 2016, 2.69 million tons were imported, with an import value of US$3.799 billion, an increase of 38.4% over the same period. The production of rubber industrial products has gradually increased due to the demand for innovative development in various civilian and military fields, high-end products and high added value. The pipe and belt category has increased by 6% compared with the same period.
As for another branch of the rubber industry, latex products, due to the increasing market demand and the increase in new product development, production and operations are on the rise. Such as condoms, various types of civilian and military gloves, medical series products, and rubber wire, sponge, mountain palm composite mattresses, hoses, balloons, environmentally friendly adhesives, etc., which increased by 10.2% compared with the same period.
As a major shoe-making country, my country is responsible for the supply of 70% of the world's shoes. Especially the popularity of retro vulcanized sneakers in the market has further promoted the growth of rubber shoe production.
What is even more gratifying is that in the process of green production, innovative development, and the transformation from a large rubber manufacturing country to a powerful rubber manufacturing country, small and medium-sized private rubber companies have suddenly emerged, especially in the Yangtze River Delta, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Huzhou regions. , under the guidance of the Belt and Road Initiative, completely change the business philosophy, establish the concept of benefiting the society, and producing responsible products for consumers. We are employee-oriented and strive to integrate the dusty and dirty, poor and messy working environment to achieve refining with ingredients. We focus on rubber automation, sealing, and informatization, establish an effective quality assurance system and promise to users, and make real efforts to realize beautiful rubber. Therefore, it also attracted many large Chinese and foreign companies that needed rubber parts. After on-site inspections, orders were given to them.
Batch after batch of difficult and advanced high-damping, low-voltage anti-vibration products, high-strength, impact-resistant and high-low-temperature oil field machinery parts, hollow self-filling rubber sealing rings, ultra-high-voltage insulation parts, oil-expanding rubber, and perfluorinated series products , one-step cold-molded microcellular foaming high-rebound PU buffer rubber spring for vehicles, and high-strength and high-elongation valve diaphragms are all produced by private small and medium-sized rubber companies. They have a wide range of theoretical levels and research and development achievements. A research and development team composed of private rubber people with practical experience, pursues zero-defect products with craftsman spirit and meticulous work attitude, thereby winning the market.
