Stainless steel pipe is an indispensable material in modern industry and construction, and its application scope covers petroleum, chemical, shipbuilding, electricity and other fields.
What's the future of stainless steel tube industry? This paper will conduct a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the industry.
1. The growth of market demand
(1) Wide application
With corrosion resistance, it’s widely used in the chemical industry and is increasingly favored by architects due to its excellent load-bearing capacity and aesthetics. The breadth of these applications provides a rich market demand base for the stainless steel pipe industry.
(2) Emerging market
In Asia and Africa, the demand for stainless steel pipes is rising, the infrastructure construction in India and surrounding countries is accelerating, and investment in new energy, environmental protection is also promoting the development of stainless steel tubes.
2. Technological progress drives the development of the industry
(1) R&D of new materials
Some companies have begun to develp alloying element formulations combined with advanced smelting technology to produce high-strength and low-density pipes for high-end market.
(2) Automation manufacturing
3. Environmental protection policy
(1) Environmental Regulations
China issued the "Steel Industry Adjustment and Upgrading Plan" in 2018, so production technologies and processes that meet environmental protection standards will become the key to enterprise competition.
(2) Returnability
Compared with other metal materials, stainless steel can be recycled, with a recovery rate of more than 90%.
(1) The stainless steel pipe industry will increasingly develop to high-end and intelligent, so enterprises need to improve the added value of products.
(2) Focus on brand and after-sales, technical services.
(3) Strengthen the global layout, through mergers and acquisitions, cooperation and other ways to enter emerging markets, and keep pace with The Times.
