Stainless steel demand into the rapid growth period

More than 30 years of reform and opening up, China's stainless steel industry has undergone tremendous changes. The past 10 years, the domestic built stainless steel, slab, sheet metal rolling, and some narrowband, pipe, rod and wire production capacity have reached the world advanced level. The potential market demand for stainless steel products in China increased momentum from two aspects: First, demand led by economic growth; Second, the continued expansion of stainless steel applications to stimulate demand. The rapid economic development in China has brought the demand of stainless steel into a period of rapid growth.

Stainless steel pipe due to its high corrosion resistance, formability, compatibility, long life, low cost, recycling and pollution-free and in a wide temperature range of toughness and other characteristics, in the construction, decoration, transportation, aviation Aerospace, petrochemicals, power generation, food processing, environmental protection, medical treatment and home appliances such as kitchen and bathroom in the field of national economy and social life more and more widely used.

During the 12th Five-Year Plan, China's residential construction will accelerate its development. At present, the average housing area of ​​urban residents in China is 27 square meters and the completion rate is 81%. The demand for residential houses in the future still has great potential. This potential is concentrated in three areas: First, urbanization. Urbanization has led to the transfer of a large number of rural population to cities and towns and the housing needs to be solved from scratch. Second, urban residents need to improve housing conditions.

Third, investment demand. At present, stainless steel is mainly used for the external walls of high-rise buildings, indoor cladding, stair structures, escalator handrails, corridor railings, lobby pillars, glass door frames and handles, revolving doors, automatic doors, shopping mall facades, wall curtains, counters, balconies, elevators Siding, canopy, curtain wall and other internal and external decoration and components. After the surface treatment, coloring, coating of stainless steel, to solve the problem of fingerprints and other problems after the touch, so that the scope of the application of stainless steel to further expand.

During the 12th Five-Year Plan, China will comprehensively improve its construction quality. With the future improvement of construction quality requirements, building functional requirements and different regions of the different requirements of the building, stainless steel and stainless steel products application quantity, quality will be improved. In some parts of China, stainless steel and stainless steel rebar will be used more in infrastructure such as bridges, highways and tunnels in the future.
