Stainless steel tube market analysis

The huge impact of the financial crisis on the real economy has been seen. The positive policies adopted by countries to stimulate the economy have also shown certain results. The domestic stainless steel pipe production is gradually picking up, but these can not explain that China's stainless steel pipe production industry has gone out of the woods, stainless steel. The market outlook is still unclear, and domestic and international macro and micro market influence factors must be considered.

    1. Domestic major user industries enter the adjustment phase, affecting the consumption of major varieties

    The first place in the consumption of special pipes is the oil well pipe. The consumption depends on the resources. Due to this factor, the consumption of oil well pipes in China is growing slowly. Coupled with the continuous improvement of the quality and variety of welded oil well pipe products, it is difficult to say. Will domestic consumption of seamless oil well pipes increase in the future?

    In recent years, the second place in the consumption of special pipes is the high pressure boiler tube. As thermal power generation is affected by factors such as overcapacity, low-carbon economy and environmental capacity constraints, its installed capacity will be significantly reduced in the country's new energy plan, which will directly lead to a decline in high-pressure boiler tube consumption.

    2. The international market recovery is difficult to anticipate

    Because the financial crisis has a huge impact on the economies of various countries, the future recovery is uncertain and unstable, and the recovery time and speed are unpredictable. Therefore, when the foreign stainless steel pipe market recovers is unpredictable.

    3. Trade protection is on the rise, seamless copper pipes are the main affected varieties

    Due to the huge blow to the real economy, countries have introduced revitalization plans and adopted different levels of trade protection measures. The United States even proposed that all government-invested projects use domestically produced steel. This shows that trade protectionism has generally risen during the special period of the financial crisis. Stainless steel pipes are subject to varying degrees of anti-dumping investigations in major export destination countries such as the United States and Canada. This situation will continue for a long period of time.

    4, the welded pipe instead of the stainless steel pipe will accelerate, the share of seamless copper pipe in the pipe market will further decline

    The replacement of seamless pipes by welded pipes is a development trend. In the past few years, China's welded pipes have been restricted by the raw materials of strips and strips, and the development of varieties has lagged behind. At present, China's strip and strip production is gradually approaching the world's advanced level in terms of capacity, specifications and varieties. The welded pipe unit and its deep processing equipment have also reached the world advanced level. It is a high-value-added welded pipe product for mass production of oil well pipes, high-strength structural pipes and boiler pipes. Laid the foundation of raw materials and equipment. When the welded pipe variety expands the market, it will inevitably occupy the market share of the original stainless steel pipe.

    5. Staged overcapacity will continue for a long period of time, competition in domestic and foreign markets will be more intense
