Yandian Bearing Market Upgrades Facilities and Sees Rising Foreign Trade Orders in Late June

LINQING, June 30 — The China Yandian Bearing Expo City in Yandian Town, Linqing City has entered the final acceptance stage and is scheduled to be officially put into operation in late June. Meanwhile, local bearing merchants have witnessed a steady recovery in overseas orders, marking a new phase of high-end transformation and international development for the iconic bearing industry base.

As the largest professional bearing trading market in China, Yandian Bearing Market covers an area of over 1,600 mu with more than 5,000 stores. It achieves an annual transaction volume of over 30 billion yuan and accounts for one-tenth of China’s domestic bearing market share, earning a reputation as the “World Bearing Supermarket”. Every morning, the market welcomes numerous purchasers from Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu and other provinces, with a full range of in-stock products including deep groove ball bearings, spherical roller bearings and agricultural machinery special bearings.

New Expo City Officially Launches with Comprehensive Upgrades

The newly built Bearing Expo City has completed all construction works including the main building, supporting warehousing and cross-border negotiation zones. Final cleaning, store division and electrical commissioning are currently in progress.

Different from the traditional open-air trading area with outdated facilities, the new expo city is equipped with standardized refined stores, exclusive negotiation rooms for overseas clients, professional product exhibition halls and centralized logistics zones. It will standardize market operation standards, eliminate low-end and counterfeit products, and display high-end precision bearings for new energy equipment, agricultural machinery and low-altitude equipment.

Integrating spot trading, foreign trade docking, product exhibition and logistics warehousing, the new complex will further polish the brand image of “Yandian Bearing”.

Foreign Trade Orders Rebound Thanks to Exhibition Dividends

Earlier this month, four local bearing enterprises participated in the 4th China International Supply Chain Expo, establishing business connections with purchasers from Argentina, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other regions. A large number of intended cooperation intentions have been converted into formal orders recently, driving the on-site shipment volume of foreign trade merchants up by more than 20% month-on-month.

Benefiting from the logistics advantages of China-Europe Railway Express and one-stop customs inspection services in Liaocheng Customs, local bearing enterprises have reduced cross-border transportation costs by 15% to 20% and greatly improved delivery efficiency. In the first half of this year, Linqing’s bearing export volume increased by 21% year-on-year, with 6200 and 6300 series standard deep groove ball bearings for motors and agricultural machinery leading overseas sales.

Industry Accelerates High-quality Transformation to Avoid Low-end Price Competition

Yandian Town boasts more than 5,000 bearing-related enterprises, including 42 industrial enterprises above designated size and 6 national-level specialized, refined, unique and innovative enterprises. To solve the problem of homogeneous and low-price competition in the traditional bearing industry, local government and the Bearing Chamber of Commerce have released supportive policies to guide manufacturers and merchants to develop customized precision bearings for new energy and intelligent equipment fields.

In addition, a heat treatment upgrading project for bearing steel bars has entered the environmental assessment publicity stage. Adopting green electric annealing technology, the project will provide standardized heat treatment supporting services for thousands of local processing factories, promote green transformation of the whole industrial chain and phase out low-efficiency backward production capacity. Local merchants are gradually phasing out low-quality products and increasing the stock of high-precision, long-life bearings to improve profit margins through quality upgrading.

Merchants Look Forward to New Development Opportunities

Local merchants stated that the new Expo City will provide professional venues for receiving overseas purchasing groups and reduce offline reception costs. They also expect the official launch of the market procurement trade pilot policy to simplify customs declaration procedures for small and medium-sized exporters. Many foreign trade merchants plan to carry out integrated online live streaming and offline exhibition sales in the new exhibition hall to further expand cross-border e-commerce sales channels.

From a traditional rural trading market to a national benchmark professional industrial market, Yandian’s bearing industry has achieved continuous upgrading over the past four decades. With the official operation of the new Expo City, smooth cross-border trade channels and targeted industrial upgrading policies, Yandian Bearing Market is stepping out of low-end price competition and moving steadily toward high-end manufacturing, global procurement and branded operation, contributing to building a world-class bearing industrial cluster in Linqing.
