International Steel Pipe Development Trend

International Steel Pipe Development Trend

With the rapid development of China's economic level, China's steel pipe industry is developing anger and market competition is also intensifying. So, what is the current status of China's steel pipe industry? Next, Xiaobian will introduce it to you. look down:

According to the analysis of the steel pipe industry, the domestic steel pipe production in 2017 was about 80 million tons, and the export volume was about 8.2 million tons. It is expected that the demand for China's steel pipe market will increase slightly in 2018, about 85 million tons, an increase of about 5%. Among them, the welded pipe is 56 million tons and the seamless pipe is 29 million tons. The trade exports steel pipes of about 8.5 million tons, including 4.3 million tons of welded pipes and 4.2 million tons of seamless pipes.

In 2018, in accordance with the requirements of high-quality development, the Chinese economy adhered to stability, adhered to the supply-line structural reform as the main line, stabilized growth, promoted reforms, adjusted the structure, and prevented risks. This points to the macro trend of the Chinese steel pipe market. In 2018, China's steel pipe downstream market, its demand growth is slowing, but the demand for quality is improving.

As a big country in the steel pipe industry, China's steel pipe industry is short-term in terms of optimization and upgrading, and the structural contradictions in the industry are prominent. Some analysts pointed out that China's steel pipe industry has the following problems: First, market demand declines, overcapacity is prominent; Second, industry efficiency is seriously declining, and seamless steel pipe production enterprises are particularly prominent; Third, unfair market environment has intensified vicious competition. The ability of independent innovation is not strong; the fifth is to further enhance the competitiveness of the industry in terms of internationalization.

However, with the supply side and the structural reform of the “13th Five-Year Plan”, the deep adjustment of the steel pipe industry was gradually introduced. According to reports, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the output of steel pipes was controlled within 100 million tons, of which less than 28 million tons of seamless steel pipes and less than 72 million tons of welded steel pipes. At the end of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", through the promotion of mergers and acquisitions, 3-5 international steel pipe enterprise groups were formed. The main energy and environmental indicators are in line with the green development goals of the national steel industry in 2020. Industrial dust and industrial wastewater discharges are fully up to standard, and the comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste and safe disposal rate of hazardous waste reaches 100%.

In 2018, in accordance with the requirements of high-quality development, the Chinese economy adhered to stability, adhered to the supply-line structural reform as the main line, stabilized growth, promoted reforms, adjusted the structure, and prevented risks. This points to the macro trend of the Chinese steel pipe market. In 2018, China's steel pipe downstream market, its demand growth is slowing, but the demand for quality is improving. The demand for the Chinese steel pipe market has remained basically stable, and investment is still the fundamental aspect of China's stable economic growth in 2018, which also determines that the demand for the steel pipe market will also increase slightly.

As of mid-May 2018, the price of seamless steel pipe (219 * 6,20#) was 5252.5 yuan / ton, up 6.1 yuan / ton from the first half of May, an increase of 0.1%. At the beginning of January, the market price of seamless steel pipe (219 * 6,20#) reached the highest value of 5411 yuan / ton, down 134.2 yuan / ton from the end of December 2017, down 2.4%. In late April, the lowest price of seamless steel pipe (219 * 6,20#) was 5235.7 yuan / ton, down 6.1 yuan / ton from mid-April, a decrease of 0.1%. The difference between the highest value and the lowest value is 175.3 yuan / ton.

By 2020, a pipeline industry system with strong independent innovation capability, sustainable and healthy development, production, learning, research and use will be established. At the same time, the key varieties of the industry can meet the needs of the national economy and national defense construction. Some high-end pipe products have reached the world's advanced level. The upgrade of steel pipe products has achieved remarkable results. Substantial progress has been made in the transformation and upgrading of enterprises, and the steel pipe industry has achieved quantity and quality. Strategic transformation of interests.
