The Steel Pipe Industry Market Capacity Has Expanded and The Supply Has Increased Further

From the perspective of the overall production distribution of welded steel pipe production in the world, Russia, the United States, Japan, Germany and other countries are traditional steel pipe manufacturing countries with obvious technical advantages. 

In recent years, with the economic development of developing countries, countries represented by China, India, Turkey, etc. occupy an increasingly important position in the competitive pattern of welded steel pipes in the world, not only in terms of output, but also far beyond traditional steel pipes. Manufacturing big countries, and the gap between the technical level and manufacturing process is getting smaller and smaller.

China's straight seam high-frequency welded steel pipe industry has a high dependence on exports. Affected by anti-dumping and countervailing cases, relevant domestic manufacturers mainly digested their existing production capacity by strengthening domestic sales and opening up new export locations. After the export to domestic sales, the supply of domestic straight-slit high-frequency welded steel pipes further increased, and the market capacity did not expand correspondingly, which made the over production situation worse, which led to price competition in the domestic market, and the profit margin and gross profit margin decreased. Domestic manufacturers with relatively small strength, relatively single products and low-end products are facing the danger of production suspension and bankruptcy; manufacturers with strong strength and rich product lines transfer risks by adjusting product structure and tapping market segments.

The improvement of China's steel pipe production process technology and equipment has greatly promoted the development of steel pipe applications in the direction of serialization, standardization and high-end. In my country Oil extraction, nuclear power, wind power, aerospace, military, chemical, energy, heavy-duty thick-walled structures, machinery and other fields, the demand for special high-end seamless steel pipe has been localized. The demand for special high-end welded steel pipes in the West-East Gas Transmission Project, submarine engineering, giant pipelines and other engineering fields is realized in China, and it is also effective in the development of steel pipe varieties and quality technologies.

Due to the versatility of straight seam high-frequency welded steel pipes and seamless steel pipes in some applications, straight-slit high-frequency welded steel pipes have been used in some domestic oil well casings and mechanical equipment supporting pipes in recent years due to their low cost advantages. Gradually more and more, squeezed the market of some seamless steel pipes, so you can digest the output of some straight seam high-frequency welded steel pipes.
