The recent changes in the market are really unpredictable, and it feels increasingly polarized. Comparing the rubber product manufacturers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, and Hebei, the gap is really obvious.
Let's first talk about rubber product manufacturers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Anhui. Enterprises in these areas are becoming increasingly specialized. Although the current environment is not very good, their benefits are still good. The requirements for raw materials are becoming increasingly strict, with performance, stable quality, and specialty being the main focus, while price is placed in a secondary position.
Looking at rubber product manufacturers in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, and Hebei, the situation is a bit awkward. Business is becoming increasingly difficult to do, and the requirements for raw materials have become simpler. Price has become the top consideration. Some manufacturers even believe that as long as the name is correct, the lower the price, the better. Without considering the strength and reputation of the manufacturer, no one knows if adding it will have any effect.
For example, materials such as zinc acrylate and comprehensive accelerators may sound similar in name, but their prices are several times different. Some people have used it with good results, but others feel that there is no difference. In fact, many things may sound expensive, but the usage is not large and the added cost is limited. There is absolutely no need to take on big risks for that small benefit.
Overall, the development trend of the market has made rubber product manufacturers pay more attention to performance and quality when choosing raw materials, rather than price. This is also an inevitable result of market competition.
