The collapse of foreign trade exports has caused a fatal blow to container enterprises. China's three largest shipping companies in Taiwan suffered a sharp decline in revenue in the first month of this year, and the decline of more than 50%. In January, Wan Hai Shipping revenue was NT $9.496 billion, down 70.79% year-on-year. Yangming's revenue was NT $12.7bn, down 64.27 per cent from a year earlier. Evergreen's revenue was NT $26.24 billion, down 53.83 percent from a year earlier.
Foreign trade export data declined, chemical enterprises profit halved, more than 400 chemical products suffered winter

According to incomplete statistics, exports accounted for more than 30% of the products mainly include rubber auxiliaries, titanium dioxide, polyurethane, dyes, phosphorus chemicals, fertilizers and other products, promoters, antioxidants, ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, polymerized MDI and other products exports accounted for more than 50%.
In 2022, the cumulative export value of the chemical industry is 304.95 billion US dollars, accounting for 80.4% of the total cumulative export value of the whole industry. Among them, ethylene, propylene, n-butanol, PX, xylene, bisphenol A and other chemicals in the fields of olefin, aromatics, chemical fiber, coal chemical industry are exported in large quantities, and about 20 million tons of chemicals are exported in the year, involving nearly 400 categories.

If you are optimistic, you may be able to wait for the recovery of the industry, and enterprises with slightly weaker competitiveness and even incomplete capital chain are afraid that they will gradually lose their vitality in waiting again and again.
