Report Summary
In 2006, growth slowed down in the European, U.S.A. and Japanese steel markets. For China steel industry, on the one hand, there was a remarkable increase in the demand for steel products in China. The growth of demand can be supported by the significant increase in production capacity. There was a historic turn in China steel imports and exports: Massive exports will be a long-term trend, and China is likely to become the world No. 1 steel product exporter. In 2006, China steel industry presented the following characteristics: Growth rate of steel output dropped, the supply-demand relationship was basically in balance, with a historic turn in China steel imports and exports, there was a hefty rise in China iron ore output and imports grew, and there was ample supply of resources in the domestic market; thanks to the remarkable effect of product structure revamping, steel price rebounded, so that enterprises profits looked up; investment in steel experienced negative growth.
In the market, there are bright expectations for 2007. On the whole, China steel industry is promising. Steel imports will be basically stable and profit is expected to rise steadily in the sector. Nonetheless, this industry seems to be subject to numerous uncertainties, such as fluctuations in steel price and possible obstacles in exports which will directly affect investment and operation decisions in the industry.
To better reveal the development law and trend of China steel industry, developed scientific evaluation models, to assess the industry from the angle of industry environment and industry cluster. It not only describes the present situation of the steel industry, but reflects the trend of investment in this sector. The report will help investors and enterprises on the industry chain better grasp the development of the industry and make scientific investment and business development decisions.
