China's BDO exports remain resilient in July 2026

BDO export volume

In July 2026, under HS Code 29053990, exports totaled 42,600.914 tons, down 4.5% month-on-month but up 74.7% year-on-year. The monthly average export price was US$1.406/kg, down US$0.034/kg from the previous month.

According to preliminary statistics from CCFGroup, China's BDO exports in July 2026 amounted to approximately 28,000 tons, down 16.7% month-on-month but up 82.9% year-on-year. Due to the fact that overseas supply has not yet fully recovered, BDO exports remain resilient.

Although BDO exports in July edged down month-on-month, the overall volume remained within a high monthly range. Major overseas plants have yet to fully resume production due to feedstock supply constraints, so export demand continues to show strength.
