The development prospects of the steel industry

Development characteristics and stages of the steel industry

At present, the growth rate of crude steel output in my country's iron and steel industry is narrowing, steel consumption has continued to grow, and steel trade has shown new changes. Iron ore prices have fallen sharply after rising, corporate profits have increased significantly year-on-year, and steel prices have remained stable.

Based on the status quo of the industry, the economic situation, investment pull, and the development of major downstream steel industries, it is comprehensively predicted that the demand for steel will remain high in the short term; Will maintain a high position and show a slow decline.

The development of the steel industry has entered a new stage

At this stage, china steel industry is already in the three-phase superposition of the reduction phase in the quantitative period, the restructuring phase in the high-quality period, and the enhanced environmental protection phase in the intermediate transition, and is evolving to the low-carbon phase in the high-quality period; Develop a new pattern, form a new balance of supply and demand, promote new technological progress, create a new industrial pattern, build a safe supply chain, and build a prosperous ecosystem.

Opportunities and challenges of the steel industry under the "dual carbon" goal

From the perspective of opportunity, low-carbon development will help my country's steel industry build a higher level of dynamic balance between supply and demand, optimize process structure, promote technological revolution, promote intelligent upgrading, accelerate multi-industry coordination, promote environmental protection governance, and deepen product life Cycle concept, and will help the industry's low-carbon standardization work.

From the perspective of challenges, the low-carbon transition of my country's steel industry has a tight time and heavy tasks, and must achieve peak and carbon reduction work in a relatively short period of time; most companies are in the initial stage of low-carbon development, and their basic capabilities such as technology and talent are weak; different companies The development level is uneven, and the low-carbon development level is different, and the carbon reduction space is different; the short process accounts for a large gap, the cost competitiveness of electric furnace steel is generally weak, and the optimization of the process flow structure still faces obstacles; and the coverage of green design products is insufficient.
