Cross-border trade of mattress machinery faces multiple challenges. Firstly, changes in international trade policies and tariff barriers pose significant threats to cross-border trade. According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the global export and import value of mattress machinery reached $6.3 billion in 2022, with China accounting for 45% of the global market share. However, with high tariff policies implemented by economies like the United States and the European Union, major exporting countries like China are facing pressure from trade barriers, which have affected the growth of mattress machinery exports, especially the export of the rolling mattress machine. Secondly, cross-border logistics and transportation issues present significant obstacles. Global shipping costs surged significantly after the pandemic, causing instability in supply chains for mattress machinery manufacturers. In 2022, global sea freight costs rose by approximately 30%, significantly increasing the cost of cross-border transportation. Additionally, as the rolling mattress machine is bulky and heavy, transportation challenges and costs also increase. Lastly, cultural differences and diverse market demands add complexity to cross-border sales. There are considerable variations in mattress preferences across regions, with some markets favoring specific types of mattresses, such as those requiring highly efficient automated packaging. This has led to stronger demand for rolling mattress machines in certain markets. Businesses need to adjust their production and sales strategies based on the needs of the target market.
