| For recent years, along with the stable and rapid development of Chinese economy, China's graphite industry has grown worldwide. China, known as the main production centre in the world which occupied more than 70% of total output, enjoys many comparative advantages including mineral resource advantage, labor resource advantage and regional advantage. However, its export price of graphite product is only about 1/8 of the developed countries'. Except the reason of international graphite market's fluctuation, many factors can be examined which hinder the development of China's graphite exportation. Hence this paper concentrates on analyzing these constraints.China's graphite industry is immature for many reasons. Consequently, it makes sense to have a reference to how this industry is developed in China and in the world. Thus this paper introduces graphite briefly first, then illustrates the current situation of China's graphite product exportation. Later the situations of globe trade in graphite including export situation and import situation are introduced. Then USA as a separate part is analyzed detailedly because it is both leading importer and exporter. Based on those understanding, the advantages and disadvantages are discussed respectively.What is more, according to the disadvantages exist in China's graphite industry, several proposals are given to improve the unfavorable situation. Suggestions aiming at government, industrial association and enterprise are put forward.In conclusion, although China's graphite exportation is still in its infant stage and there are many problems need to be solved as soon as possible, it has great potential and competitiveness according to the analysis of competitive advantage proposed by Michael Porter. Thus, China's graphite enterprises should make full use of favorable self-conditions and government support to strengthen international competitiveness, and try to occupy a larger quotient in international market in the future. |
