China Steel Industry Outlook 2017-2025

Industry Overview

China is the largest steel producing country in world. Steel is one of the essential materials used across the world. Its wide application ranges from construction, transports, industrial machinery to consumer products. Steel accounts for the strategic importance in the industrial development of a nation. Steel industry has diverse technologies used as per the nature and extent of the raw material application. Growth in steel industry has strong co-relation with the growth of economy. China accounted for huge construction activities over the past decade and thus the growing economy of China has fuelled the demand of steel at exponential rates. China is largest producer of steel in the world and largest consumer of steel in Asia.

In current scenario, China is estimated to face stagnant demand and production of steel due to the overcapacity issues. China and other top steel consumers are facing the buffer stock, and thus the global finished steel consumption is likely to fall due to 5% demand contraction in China. In 2016 Chinese government had cut the steel capacity by 65 million tons and then in 2017, 50 million tons cut in capacity, and plans to cut around 100-150 million tons of steel capacity by 2020. Thus, restructuring fund was granted in 2017, amounting USD 5.9 billion to facilitate these reforms. It also led to mergers and acquisitions in steel industry such as Baoshan Iron & Steel has merged with Wuhan Iron & Steel, creating world’s second-biggest and China’s largest steel mill for crude steel production, which eliminated around 25 million tons of outdated steel capacity till 2017. Goldstein Research analyst estimated that in 2017, China accounted for 83.3 million metric tons production of steel, acquiring 49% global share in steel production.

China is accused of dumping steel in other markets and thus pushing down the prices leading other producers to leave the market. U.S. is the largest steel importer, valued around USD 29 billion in 2017, and China is the 5^th largest steel exporting country to U.S. China low export to U.S. is primarily due to trade restrictions imposed on China by American import controls and duties.
