With the continuous growth of China's chemical industry, product export has become an important engine to promote the development of the industry. In the face of increasingly fierce market competition, enterprises have optimized the whole export industry chain to reduce costs and enhance competitiveness. This paper will analyze the current situation and development trend of China's chemical export market from the perspective of export regional selection, main regional performance, provincial export scale and growth rate.

1. exit region selection strategy

the choice of China's chemical export region is mainly based on three major considerations: the geographical location of the export trading company, the distance between the export destination and the region, and the hardware resources available in the export region. These factors work together in the export decision-making of enterprises, aiming to achieve process simplification, cost reduction and efficiency improvement. In particular, exporting companies tend to choose areas that facilitate logistics operations, reduce shipping costs and have improved export facilities to maximize their own interests.

2. East China: the main force of export

status analysis: with its rich petrochemical enterprise resources, superior port conditions and location advantages, East China has become the largest distribution center for China's chemical exports. In 2023, the total amount of chemicals exported through East China exceeded 0.1 billion tons, accounting for half of the country's chemical exports, and the compound growth rate in the past seven years was as high as 12.38, showing a strong growth momentum.

Future outlook: in view of the rapid growth of the current export scale and the comprehensive advantages of East China, it is expected that East China will remain the main area of China's chemical exports for a long time in the future.

3. Central and Southwest China: Potential Release

central China: as an important product production base in China, Central China has shown great potential in the export of chemical products. With the advantage of Yangtze River water transportation, enterprises have effectively reduced logistics costs and promoted the continuous expansion of export scale.

Southwest Region: although the proportion of export volume is not high, the southwest region has achieved rapid growth in export volume by virtue of its rich water conservancy and natural gas resources and geographical proximity to the Southeast Asian market. In particular, its shipping cost is about 10% lower than that of East China, which provides a strong competitiveness for the export of chemical products.

Export Scale and Growth Highlights of 4. Provinces

major export provinces: beijing, Zhejiang, Shandong, Jiangsu and Guangdong are the top five provinces (cities) in China's chemical exports, and their export scale and growth rate are in the forefront. Among them, Beijing relies on state-owned enterprises and convenient customs declaration, while Jiangsu and Zhejiang rely on their strong industrial foundation and rapid growth to jointly support half of China's chemical exports.

Growth dark horse: it is worth noting that Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu, Inner Mongolia and other northwest regions have shown amazing export growth in the past seven years. Although the base is small, these regions have effectively eased the pressure of slow consumption growth in the domestic market by actively seeking export market digestion, and injected new vitality into the export of chemical products.

Fine Management and Future Trend of 5.

In the face of the complex and changeable global chemical market, Chinese chemical export enterprises need to further strengthen the fine management, optimize the export process and reduce logistics costs. In the selection of export areas, logistics costs, transportation conditions and market demand should be considered in order to achieve the optimal allocation of resources.

In addition, with the development of multimodal transport and the continuous changes in the international trade environment, enterprises need to flexibly adjust their export strategies and actively respond to market challenges. In the future, China's chemical export market will continue to grow, and fine management and regional optimization will become the key to enhance the competitiveness of export enterprises.
