In the first four months of 2023, the majority of rubber exports to markets decreased compared to the same period the previous year, as the purchasing power of the global market declined, particularly in large markets such as India, the United States, and Europe. However, the volume of exports to the Russian market increased significantly compared to the same period in 2022.

In the future, rubber exports will continue to face challenges due to the auto industry's exposure to high inflation and weak consumer demand, particularly in the United States and Europe. Nonetheless, China's rubber demand is gradually recovering, which will provide market support.
