China Stainless Steel Industry Development

Since the beginning of this week, the domestic stainless steel market has become better and prices have steadily increased. The demand for stainless steel in the stainless steel manufacturing industry is still relatively strong. Operators and people in the industry are optimistic about the stainless steel products industry in the future. This is good for the stability of the stainless steel market. Good.

On Monday (September 6th), some domestic major stainless steel markets maintained their upward trend. On Tuesday (7th), the price of stainless steel coils in the Shanghai market went steadily. Baosteel's stainless steel coils (304/2B) were more stable than last week. The average increase of 500 yuan / ton, such as 0.5mm-1.0mm × 1219mm × C stainless steel coil price yuan / ton; 1.2mm-3.0mm × 1219mm × C stainless steel coil price yuan / ton; Hangzhou market The price of stainless steel also rose by 300 yuan/ton, Tuesday (7th), stainless steel coil made by Zhangpu (304/2B), price of 0.5mm-1.0mm x 1219mm x C yuan/ton; 1.2mm- 3.0mm × 1219mm × C, the price of stainless steel coil yuan / ton.

The price of stainless steel coils in the Foshan market also climbed steadily, up 400-500 yuan/ton from the previous week; the prices of 304J1/2B stainless steel coils in Wuxi market generally rose by 200 yuan/ton, and that produced by Zhangpu was 0.8mm-3.0mm*1219mm*C. Stainless steel coil prices yuan / ton.

According to some operators engaged in stainless steel trade, stainless steel market demand has gradually been released recently, and stainless steel products industry demand for stainless steel is still strong. Stainless steel products are the main raw materials for the hardware products industry. In the 1990s, many hardware products companies made a transition to the stainless steel industry in a timely manner to create a stainless steel vessel manufacturing industry. Guangdong is the largest exporter of household appliances such as stainless steel kitchen utensils and tableware in China. Its manufacturing enterprises are mainly concentrated in Guangzhou, Chaoan, Jieyang, Shantou, Jiangmen Xinhui, Zhongshan, Nanhai, Yunfu and Yangjiang. surrounding area.

In the 21st century, the export of stainless steel household appliances in Guangdong increased by leaps and bounds. The export value increased from 330 million U.S. dollars in 1999 to 960 million U.S. dollars in 2006. According to customs statistics, in 2003, the export volume of stainless steel household appliances in Guangdong exceeded 200,000 tons for the first time, reaching 203,000 tons. The products were exported to 117 countries and regions in six continents and mainly exported to European and American markets. The average annual growth rate in the five years since China's accession to the WTO was 14.71%, and its export value has been rising year after year. According to expert estimates, at least four people per 100 people in Europe now use stainless steel cutlery in Xinxing County of Yunfu City, which was awarded the title of “Hometown of Stainless Steel Kitchenware in China”.

The continuous development of the stainless steel products industry in China has stimulated the demand for stainless steel and is the biggest internal driving force supporting the smooth operation of the stainless steel market. In addition, the hardware industry in China gradually develops along with the development of the sanitary industry, and the prospects are very impressive. Some hardware products industry bases have risen. At present, the hardware products bases in China include China Hardware Products Industry Base (Siu Lam), China (Shuikou) Faucet Production Base, China Stainless Steel Products Production Base (Xinhui), and China (Wenzhou) Metal Case Lighters. Production Base, China (Wenzhou) Shaver Production Base, China Hardware Products (Yuyao) Production Base, China Export Tool Production Base (Jinhua), China Wire Mesh Industry Base (Anping).

The development of these hardware products bases has a new feature. This is the "first-to-come post-commercial type." Such as Xinhui stainless steel products industry, in the development of trade based on the development of China's stainless steel products production base. As early as the end of the 1980s, it was already a well-known stainless steel material distribution center, and thus created a number of stainless steel products manufacturing enterprises. By the mid-1990s, Xinhui Hardware & Stainless Steel industry has been booming. There are 832 hardware and stainless steel production companies, 315 enterprises above designated size and nearly 20,000 employees. They have formed kitchens, office equipment, Chinese food, western food, buffets and cold drinks. , furniture, rabbits, drinking fountains and other eight series. Stainless steel products are exported to more than 80 countries and regions.

At present, China's stainless steel industry has accelerated industrial restructuring, capital movements in the industry, capital expansion is intensifying, and the sharing of resources between enterprises is increasing. In the expansion of the international market, the development of diversified export products, the expansion of export volume, sharing of business risks, stimulated the company's independent innovation. According to the foreign demand for products in many varieties, small quantities or into a matching supply, short delivery time and other characteristics. The advantages of the export of stainless steel household appliances should be brought into play and strengthened so that production can be organized quickly, orderly and efficiently.

The development of the stainless steel industry puts forward new requirements for stainless steel. The industry believes that the stainless steel industry has a large market capacity, but the fierce competition has not diminished. The response is to increase the development of science and technology, such as stainless steel Co., Ltd.'s color stainless steel technology, will become a shiny stainless steel products Multi-colored, filling the domestic gap, reaching the advanced level of the same industry in foreign countries; some stainless steel products companies use fingerprint identification technology research and development of stainless steel fingerprint lock series products reached the international advanced level, was used by the Central Command of the US Air Force, At the same time as a high-tech product appeared in Hollywood science fiction movies.

Therefore, the development trend of deep processing technology for colored stainless steel products will drive the demand for color stainless steel. Insiders pointed out that with the rapid development of the color stainless steel products market in China, the application of core production technologies and R&D will become the focus of attention in the industry. It is critical to understand the development trend, process equipment, technology application and trends of core stainless steel production technology at home and abroad for enterprises to improve product specifications and improve market competitiveness.
