近日，马来西亚橡胶手套制造商协会(MARGMA)向政府发出强烈呼吁，要求取消对橡胶手套出口的税收，以增强该行业在全球市场中的竞争力。
In his latest statement, MARGMA Chairman Oon Kim Hung detailed the burden the export tax places on the rubber glove industry. He pointed out that for a long time, every export transaction has to pay a 0.2% tax, and the cumulative expenditure has exceeded MYR 500 million, equivalent to approximately 100 million US dollars. This burden has seriously affected the profit level of the company. Especially during the boom period of the industry, export taxes even accounted for 2% of the gross profit margin, which is undoubtedly worse for companies.
据炭黑产业网了解，当前经济环境下，橡胶手套行业的经营压力日益增大。平均销售价格已跌破生产成本，导致每出口一个集装箱都处于亏损状态，这无疑给企业的经营和发展蒙上了阴影。
However, MARGMA remains optimistic about future market demand. They predict that with the recovery of demand in major markets such as the United States, the European Union, and Japan, and the surge in demand for gloves in non-medical fields after the COVID-19 epidemic, the global glove market is expected to achieve another 15% growth after a decline in 2023. It is expected that By 2027, the global glove market demand will reach an astonishing 450 billion.
橡胶手套行业作为马来西亚的支柱产业之一，对国家经济的贡献不容忽视。因此，MARGMA急切呼吁政府能够倾听业界的呼声，采取切实有效的措施来支持这一关键产业。而取消出口税，无疑是推动该行业可持续发展、提升其全球竞争力的重要举措之一。
