| 1, the output of stainless steel has exceeded 7 million tons, accounting for 1/4 of the world's total output.
Crude steel output reached 7 million 206 thousand tons, an increase of 1 million 906 thousand tons over the previous year, an increase of 35.96%. Among them, 4.189 million tons (58.13%) of Cr-Ni steel (300 series), 4.21 percentage points lower than last year; 1.839 million tons (25.52%) of Cr steel (400 series); 1.788 million tons (16.35%) of Cr-Mn steel (200 series).Machinable Stainless Steel Round Bar
2, imports decreased, exports increased, steel self sufficiency rate further improved.
Imports of 1 million 698 thousand tons, down 32.08% compared to the same period, exports 1 million 303 thousand tons, an increase of 44.78% over the same period last year. The total import volume is still greater than the export volume of 395,000 tons, of which the net import of semi-finished products (ingots) is 204,000 tons, the net import of hot coil plate is 328,000 tons, and the net import of narrow plate is 115,000 tons. Other steels, such as cold rolled sheet (wide), long steel, pipe (including oil and gas pipelines) are net exports.Supply 304 Cold Rolled Stainless Steel Coil Price Per Kg
Domestic stainless steel products to meet the domestic market further improved, self-sufficiency rate reached 75.60%, 15.60 percentage points higher than last year.
3, the growth rate of apparent consumption has slowed down.Structural Carbon Steel H Beams Steel Beam
The apparent consumption is 6 million 580 thousand tons, an increase of 630 thousand tons over last year, an increase of 10.59%. The growth rate was 3.61 percentage points lower than that in 2006. |
