Forecast and analysis of the development trend of China's steel structure industry in 2022

　　Edwin Basson, director general of the worldsteel association, said in his 2022 New Year's message that with the increase in vaccination rates and the government's support for epidemic prevention measures, steel demand will recover strongly in 2021, and the recovery will be stronger than expected.

　　Therefore, recent forecasts suggest that steel demand in 2022 will increase by 2.2% to 1,896.4 million tons.

　　The largest steel-using market comes from the construction industry, which is more resilient than most industries.

　　By 2035, my country's steel structure consumption is expected to reach more than 200 million tons per year

　　In October 2021, the China Steel Structure Association released the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Steel Structure Industry and the Vision for 2035", proposing the development goal of the steel structure industry during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period: by the end of 2025, the domestic steel structure consumption will reach About 140 million tons, accounting for more than 15% of China's crude steel output, and steel structure buildings accounting for more than 15% of the new construction area. By 2035, the application of steel structure buildings in my country will reach the level of moderately developed countries, the consumption of steel structures will reach more than 200 million tons per year, accounting for more than 25% of crude steel output, and the proportion of steel structure buildings in the area of ​​new buildings will gradually reach 40%. Smart build.

　　The number of steel structure enterprises has been greatly reduced, and industry supply changes have continued

　　In 2012, the number of domestic steel structure enterprises was 4,000-5,000, but now there are only about 2,500 steel structure enterprises, which has shrunk by half! There are only 510 units with steel structure manufacturing enterprise qualifications, and the annual output of steel structure reaches 50,000 tons or steel structure. There are only 129 super-qualified enterprises with an operating income of 400 million yuan, and a large number of second- and third-level qualifications and unqualified enterprises. The industry competition is extremely fierce, showing the characteristics of "big industry, small enterprise".

　　Benefiting from the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry, the industry concentration is expected to increase

　　In recent years, the relevant industrial policies of the steel structure industry have been blowing frequently, and the government has issued a number of policies that have an important impact on the development of the industry. At present, the steel structure industry is developing in the direction of rational planning, energy saving and environmental protection. Technically, the state vigorously promotes prefabricated buildings, and in mode it promotes the transformation of general contracting.

　　Through the characteristics of simple production of steel structures, free modeling design, short construction period, no pollution, recyclability, safety and stability, etc., further mobilize the optimal allocation of resources in the metallurgical industry, real estate industry and construction industry, and allocate and plan according to demand. Maximize the use of limited resource efficiency, reduce damage to the surrounding building construction environment, meet the requirements of national green buildings and high-quality development, and have a bright future.

　　Gradually phase out small and medium-sized steel structure enterprises

　　According to the national economic development, industrial adjustment policies and stricter supervision of the industry, some small and medium-sized steel structure enterprises that lack innovation, weak strength, lack of qualifications, and unsound management will be gradually eliminated in the competition. And companies with technology, scale and brand advantages and stronger comprehensive strength will further expand the market in the competition, gradually become stronger and bigger, and play a role in promoting industry integration. In the future, the profit space of steel structure small and medium-sized enterprises may be further compressed, and the industry is expected to continue to concentrate on the leader.

　　The favorable policy support for steel structure general contracting has been continuously strengthened

　　China's steel structure industry estimates that the development space of steel structure workshops will reach 497.9 billion yuan in 2022 and 816.1 billion yuan in 2025. Driven by the development of "fabricated buildings + new infrastructure", steel structure general contractors have more advantages in contracting engineering projects, such as one-stop service of design, manufacturing and installation, which can provide owners with overall solutions for steel structure engineering. Nowadays, the policy support for the general contracting of steel structures has been significantly enhanced and clearer and clearer, and the familiarity of the owners will also increase the penetration rate. The general contracting mode of steel structures is the general trend.
