According to customs statistics, Quanzhou's exports of tissue paper and hygiene products reached RMB 10.46 billion in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 3.4%. This record-high export value accounted for 17% of the nation's total annual exports of these products, ranking first among all prefecture-level cities nationwide. Private enterprises served as the main driving force, with their total exports reaching RMB 8.33 billion, a year-on-year increase of 2.5%, accounting for 79.6% of the city's total exports in this sector. The export categories were primarily dominated by finished paper products, wet wipes, and diapers.

The growth in Quanzhou's hygiene products exports has been driven by a confluence of factors. Industry data indicates a significant shift toward smart and automated production lines, with leading manufacturers investing heavily in full-servo technologies to enhance production efficiency and product quality. Additionally, Quanzhou's exporters have been actively expanding their presence in emerging markets, particularly within the RCEP member countries in Southeast Asia, where tariff reductions are facilitating greater trade flows.

Looking ahead to 2026, industry projections suggest a continued growth trajectory for Quanzhou's hygiene products exports. While global economic conditions remain complex, the sector is expected to benefit from the ongoing digital transformation of manufacturing processes and the diversification of export markets. Local manufacturers are increasingly adopting AI-driven quality control systems and predictive maintenance technologies to reduce operational costs and improve production stability. Furthermore, the rising global demand for eco-friendly and sustainable hygiene products is creating new opportunities for Quanzhou's exporters, many of whom are developing biodegradable materials and reducing their carbon footprint.
