World towel trade pattern and China towel export status
Interpretation of the world towel trade pattern
Export pattern: China has obvious advantages
In 2011, the global export of towel products (excluding towels, bathrobes and other products) was 810,000 tons, with an export value of 5.73 billion US dollars, and an average price of more than 7,000 US dollars per ton.
1. Chinese products account for 50% of global towel exports
In 2011, there were 6 countries and regions with towel exports exceeding US$100 million. They were China (US$2.85 billion), Pakistan (US$750 million), India (US$740 million), Turkey (US$550 million), and the European Union (US$1.85 billion). Billion U.S. dollars) and the United States (140 million U.S. dollars). The exports of the first four countries accounted for 85.5% of the total global exports. Among them, China, which ranked first, has a particularly obvious advantage. Its exports accounted for 49.7% of the world's total, and the number was 317,000 tons, accounting for 39.1% of the total global exports.
2. Large gap in export unit price
The highest unit price of export products is the United States and the European Union, which are between 12,000 and 15,000 US dollars per ton, as shown in Figure 2. The price of Chinese products is at the mid-stream level, with an average of about US$9,000 per ton. It is in the second army of prices along with Turkey. The prices of products in India and Pakistan are at a low level, and the average price is less than half of that of Chinese products. Among them, the average price of towels exported from India is less than US$4,000 per ton, which is only 1/3~1/4 of the unit price of European and American products.

2. The unit price of Japanese imports is close to ten thousand U.S. dollars
my country and the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are at the upper-middle level of the international market's import price, at US$6,500-7,500 per ton, as shown in Figure 4. In the main demand market, the price of imported products from Japan is the highest, approaching US$10,000 per ton; the price of imports from the EU ranks second, at approximately US$8,500 per ton; and the price of imported products from Russia is lower, at approximately US$5,200 per ton.
