1. Overall export data of building materials industry Total exports in 2022
The total export volume of China's building materials industry is about 70-75 billion US dollars, an increase of about 8% (General Administration of Customs statistics).
Subcategory:
Steel and metal products: accounting for about 40% (including scaffolding, steel structure, etc.).
Cement and products: Export volume decreased (affected by higher sea freight).
Glass, ceramics: Exports to the Middle East and Africa increased significantly.
Regional distribution
Asia: 45% (Southeast Asia and the Middle East are the main markets).
Africa: 20% (infrastructure projects in high demand).
Europe and the United States: 25% (high-end building materials demand is stable).
The year 2023:
New energy-related building materials: photovoltaic supports, energy-saving glass export growth rate of more than 15%.
Green certification: The EU Carbon Tariff (CBAM) is forcing companies to upgrade low-carbon production technologies.
2.Overview of scaffold exit Export scale
2022 data: China's scaffolding exports are about 3-3.5 billion US dollars (including steel pipe scaffolding, aluminum alloy scaffolding and accessories), accounting for more than 60% of the global market share.
Main products: steel scaffolding (customs code 73084000) accounted for the highest proportion, aluminum scaffold export growth rate is significant (average annual growth of about 10%).
Major export market
"Belt and Road" countries: Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Indonesia), the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, UAE), Africa (Nigeria, Kenya) accounted for more than 50% of total exports.
Developed countries: Australia, Europe (Germany, the Netherlands) demand for high-end modular scaffolding growth.
Trends and challenges:
Growth driver: Overseas infrastructure recovery (such as real estate in Southeast Asia, new energy projects in the Middle East) drives demand.
Trade barriers: European and American markets have stricter requirements for scaffolding environmental standards (such as EU CE certification), and some enterprises are facing pressure to upgrade technology
