Resumen de Flat glass expansion to continue unabated
China's focus on downstream value-added expansion has resulted in a surge in the country's spherical graphite exports, which registered a rise of 23.5% year-over-year (y-o-y) against a 2.1% drop seen in natural flake graphite exports for the seven months ending July 2016.
Revenues from the exports of spherical graphite were up 16.6% y-o-y, while values from natural flake graphite exports were down by 7.9% during the same period.
Sales from the spherical graphite market made up nearly 58% of the total turnover from China's graphite exports for the first seven months of 2016 - a proportion which has grown as a result of increases in both the volume and value of production.
