Chinese ceramics are also causing trouble in emerging markets. Peru anti-dumping anti-dumping

The Chinese ceramic companies that intend to break through the South American market will encounter a “stumbling block” again. A few days ago, the Ministry of Commerce announced that Peru has launched an anti-dumping investigation against glazed wall tiles from China.

This is the second anti-dumping investigation initiated by Latin America for the Chinese ceramics industry following Argentina.

The reporter learned from the Ministry of Commerce that Peru’s anti-dumping case amounted to approximately US$10 million, and there were dozens of companies involved in the case in China. The specific data was still in statistics.

“The new South American market just cultivated by domestic ceramic enterprises may be blocked.” Lan Weibing, director of the China Ceramics Industry Association’s Foshan office, told the “First Financial Daily” that after the implementation of the real estate market restriction order, the ceramics industry's domestic market has shrunk dramatically.

In the international market, India, Thailand, South Korea and the European Union and other countries and regions have successively imposed anti-dumping measures on Chinese ceramics, and ceramics have encountered “internal and external attacks.” All companies have shifted their market focus to South America.

Foshan Asgarf Ceramics Co., Ltd. is one of the transfer companies. Chen Yanbin, chairman of the company, told the newspaper that the average monthly growth of the company's South American market this year reached more than 30%, and the total export volume in this market had barely exceeded 10%.

South America's rise to Mona Lisa's third largest export market, the company's director Zhang Qikang said that the market has accounted for 20% to 30% of the company's total exports, the first half of this year up 20% year on year.

"Some of the pottery enterprises in the South American market accounted for more than 70% of the total exports of the company," said Chen Zhangli, a researcher with China Investment Advisor Building Materials Industry.

In the first half of 2011, China’s ceramic exports to Latin America reached 490 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 39.27% ​​year-on-year. Among them, the total export volume of architectural ceramics reached 263 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 44.14% over the same period of last year. Exports to Latin America surpassed Europe for the first time.

One after another anti-dumping investigation, Tao enterprise hopes to break through the South American market broke. "According to the current signs, Brazil is also very likely to start anti-dumping on Chinese ceramics." Chen Yanbin is worried that the South American market will be completely blocked.

In desperation, Tao enterprises began to save themselves. "After the case was filed in Argentina, the company immediately set up an anti-dumping team." Chen Yanbin told the newspaper that the current respondent materials are almost ready. The next step will continue to prepare anti-dumping suits against Peru. In addition, the company also plans to increase its efforts in the development of second and third-tier cities in China and some coastal rural markets.

“We will use the advantage of obtaining the lowest tariffs from the EU and India to further open up the markets in the two regions.” Zhang Qikang also said that in the domestic market, it will tilt to the western region.

Chen Zhangli pointed out that Tao’s desire to use market diversification to offset the risks of single market volatility.
