Despite surging shipping costs, China’s tyre exports have demonstrated robust performance in May, climbing 4.8% year-on-year to 56.38 million units, valued at 13.05 billion yuan (about £1.42 billion or €1.68 billion) — a modest 2.1% increase. This growth, though less than recent years, underscores Chinese exporters’ resilience amid global supply chain disruptions, especially in ocean shipping. Anticipating additional U.S. tariffs effective August 1, Chinese exporters have expedited shipments, straining shipping capacities and heightening concerns in various industries.
