Chinese roller industry

The Chinese roller industry has achieved significant results in accelerating its overseas expansion in the past decade. Relying on technological innovation and industrial chain upgrading, the export scale continues to climb. According to data from China International Capital Corporation, the export value of rolling mills has increased from 451 million US dollars in 2019 to 654 million US dollars in 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.74%. Enterprises such as Zhonggang Xingji and Gongchang Rolling Mill have improved their product competitiveness through independent research and development and intelligent manufacturing. Core indicators such as wear resistance and strength have reached international standards, making them globally renowned steel suppliers. The market expansion focuses on emerging markets such as the 'the Belt and Road' and India, meeting the expansion needs of the local steel industry. At the same time, the industry is deepening its globalization layout, establishing local chemical plants and teams in Southeast Asia and other places, optimizing the supply chain and reducing risks. With the green transformation of the global steel industry, domestic rollers are adapting to the low-carbon trend with high cost-effectiveness, gradually occupying a higher market share, forming a 'technological breakthrough+market deepening+localized operation' overseas model, and continuously consolidating international competitiveness.
