CNPC Sees Surge in Chemical Exports amid Global Trade Restructuring

Xinhua News Agency reports China National Petroleum Corporation has scaled up its overseas chemical product deliveries significantly throughout the current year, achieving transformative growth in export scale amid continuous restructuring of the global chemical trade landscape. The company registers a total chemical product export volume of 218,000 tonnes from January to April, representing a year-on-year increase of over 130 percent.

CNPC’s chemical sales business keeps expanding global market reach and optimising overseas layout to adapt to shifting international trade demands. The enterprise has improved export capacity for a full spectrum of chemical products covering synthetic resins, synthetic rubber, organic chemicals and chemical fertilisers. The number of export-grade specifications for rubber and plastic products available for overseas supply has risen to 134, enriching diversified product options for global downstream buyers.

Internal collaborative mechanisms have been upgraded to underpin robust export growth. The Refining, Chemical and New Materials Branch of CNPC has optimised unified cross-department export management and hierarchical coordination systems, adjusting product structure and category distribution to prioritise high-value chemical product exports and generate greater overseas profits.

Regional branch subsidiaries deliver targeted operational breakthroughs in overseas markets. Northeast Chemical Sales optimises whole-process logistics arrangements and shortens transportation cycles substantially, pushing its polypropylene export volume up by 206.2 percent year on year. Northwest Chemical Sales successfully ships 2,900 tonnes of Kunlun T4401 special polypropylene pipe materials to Central Asia, setting a new record for the largest single export order the branch has secured in the Central Asian market. South China Chemical Sales capitalises on favourable international market demand windows, exporting 84,700 tonnes of rubber, plastic and styrene products to global clients.

Service quality and customer responsiveness have been further enhanced to expand overseas market partnerships. CNPC’s chemical sales segments establish customised, rapid-response service frameworks tailored to diverse overseas client requirements. Southwest Chemical Sales coordinates specialised tonne-scale packaging resources and leverages Qinzhou Port for synthetic rubber product exports, lifting key client procurement volume by 20 percent compared with the same period of last year.

East China Chemical Sales conducts precise regional market assessment and operational layout optimisation. The branch achieves a record single liquid chemical product export volume of 2,500 tonnes, accomplishing synchronous improvements in trade scale and service efficiency. All regional branches will continue to deepen global market exploration, refine logistics systems and upgrade personalised overseas service mechanisms to sustain steady expansion of China’s high-quality chemical product exports.
