GLOBAL EXPORT COMPETITIVENESS EVALUATION ON CHINA'S NdFeB ENTIRE INDUSTRIAL CHAIN PRODUCTS
As the world speeds up to the carbon neutralization,the key parts NdFeB's strategic significance is increasing,becoming a core domain in the global REE market.Scientific evaluation on global export competitiveness of China's NdFeB entire industrial chain products is key for China to seize the initiative amid the new REE gaming.This paper,viewing from perspective of entire industrial chain,puts Nd products market penetration into trading data by means of constant market share model and revealed comparative advantage,studies their global export competitiveness and global position evolution of 173 kinds of NdFeB products during 1990 to 2021.The overall competitiveness of China's NdFeB entire industrial chain products has been increasingly boosted with improved exported goods and market structures.Export growth mode has shifted to being oriented by competitiveness from jointly by market demands and competitiveness.The middle-to down-stream products in the entire industrial chain are increasingly emerging at their comparative advantages,up to middle to high value chain.Globally,China's NdFeB entire industrial chain products are facing a weakly optimized export structure and a lower global competitiveness of fine products than the major manufacturer giants Japan and European Union,Nd products'comparative advantages are gradually being replaced by Japan,the end-use products'comparative advantages are slowly being raised with gaps with giant manufacturers.This paper presents suggestions on paying more attention to the fast-falling upper-stream products'conventional advantages,on cultivating global competitiveness of potential fine products,and on enlarging R&D inputs on end-use products to reach a new global competitiveness.
