📈 The continued appreciation of the RMB against the USD in 2026 is creating new pressure for Chinese exporters — including the cathodic protection industry.
For products such as sacrificial anodes, MMO anodes, and CP equipment priced in USD, a stronger RMB directly reduces exchange-rate profitability and increases pricing pressure in global markets.
At the same time, global demand for corrosion protection in oil & gas, marine, and infrastructure projects remains strong.
Market analysts also expect that if recent trade negotiations with the Trump administration progress positively, the RMB exchange rate could gradually ease back from current highs.
In a volatile market, quality, engineering capability, and long-term reliability matter more than ever.
