Overall, China’s enamelled wire export market showed strong resilience and prominent growth potential in January-February 2026. However, as the US-Iran conflict continued to intensify and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East trended higher, China’s copper enamelled wire exports to markets such as the UAE and Turkey were expected to face certain uncertainties and phased pressure in the short term.
