The Rise of Non-zero Tariff Areas in The Middle East, The Bus Industry Ushered in A New Growth Pole?

    In recent years, with the reshaping of global trade patterns, the Middle East and Africa region has gradually become a new blue ocean for manufacturing enterprises to "go to sea". Especially in the context of China and a number of central and East African countries have signed free trade agreements and implemented zero tariff policies, the export of high-end power equipment such as busbars has ushered in new strategic opportunities.

Zero tariff policy releases market dividends

   By the end of 2024, China reached tariff reduction agreements with the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other countries on some industrial products, among which low-voltage transmission and distribution products have become key beneficiaries. For enterprises with export qualifications and technical advantages such as Sichuan Shuteng Bus Co., LTD., this not only means a more competitive price space, but also an important opportunity to open overseas markets.

    According to the General Administration of Customs data show that in 2024, China's electrical equipment exports to Central and East Africa increased by more than 18%. Among them, the growth momentum of busbar trough products is particularly significant, mainly used in local infrastructure, power, data centers and large commercial projects.

The market construction boom in Central and East Africa continues to heat up

     In recent years, many countries in the Middle East have accelerated the "de-petroleum" economic transformation and actively invested in new energy, data centers and urban infrastructure projects. For example, Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" promotes the construction of ultra-large new city NEOM, the United Arab Emirates vigorously develops green energy, and many African countries are accelerating the transformation and upgrading of power infrastructure.

    These new projects have put forward a higher demand for efficient, safe and easy to maintain power distribution systems, and busbar grooves have become the preferred solution due to their high integration, strong space utilization and easy maintenance.

Sichuan Shuteng bus: seize the opportunity, deep cultivation of overseas markets

    As a professional enterprise engaged in the development and manufacturing of 400A to 6300A low-voltage busbar, Sichuan Shuteng Busbar Co., Ltd. has continued to layout overseas business in recent years. The company closely follows the changes in international trade policies, actively responds to the "Belt and Road" initiative, comprehensively improves product certification, international logistics, after-sales service, etc., and provides overseas customers with more efficient and reliable power system solutions.

    Shuteng bus has been successfully exported to many countries in the Middle East and Africa, and has been widely praised in local large-scale infrastructure projects. In the future, the company will continue to be driven by technological innovation, expand international cooperation channels, and strive to occupy a larger share in the emerging markets of Central and East Africa, and promote Chinese manufacturing to a higher level.

Conclusion:

     The landing of the "zero tariff" policy in Central and East Africa has not only released huge market potential, but also opened a new growth window for Chinese busbar groove manufacturing enterprises. Sichuan Shuteng Bus will seize this historic opportunity and continue to win the trust of global customers with high-quality products and professional services.
