What is the price trend of special steel sheet?

As an important metal material, special steel sheet is widely used in many fields such as industrial production and construction engineering. The trend of its price is directly related to the production costs and capital investment of relevant industries, so it is concerned. Shanghai special steel manufacturers will focus on the price trend of special steel sheet.

First of all, let's take a look at the price trend of special steel sheets in the past few years. At the beginning of 2015, the price of special steel sheet once fell to a historic low, mainly because of the serious excess steel production capacity that year, oversupply, resulting in fierce market competition. Subsequently, the government began to take a series of measures to limit steel production capacity, and carried out capacity reduction work, promoting the balance of supply and demand in the steel market, and the price of special steel sheet began to gradually recover. In 2016, the price of special steel sheet continued to rise, mainly benefiting from the improvement of the supply and demand balance brought about by the reduction of production capacity, as well as the promotion of the state's policies to strengthen infrastructure construction. In the first half of 2017, with the implementation of the environmental protection production restriction policy, the price of special steel sheet rose further, and there was a brief peak. However, the problem of steel overcapacity has not been fundamentally solved, and the price of special steel sheet has again shown a downward trend in 2018.

In summary, the fluctuation of the price of special steel sheet in the past few years mainly stems from factors such as overcapacity in the steel industry and macro-control policies. With the government strengthening the work of capacity reduction and environmental protection governance, the price of special steel sheet has shown a relatively stable trend. However, due to the competitive pressure of the industry itself and the impact of market demand changes and other factors, the price of special steel sheet will still fluctuate.

In addition to the impact of macro factors, the price of special steel sheet is also affected by many internal factors. The first is the change in raw material prices. The raw materials for the production of special steel plate mainly include billet, iron ore, etc., and the price fluctuation directly affects the production cost and selling price of special steel plate. The second is the change in market demand. Special steel sheet is widely used in construction, manufacturing, energy, machinery and other fields, and changes in market demand directly affect the sales volume and price of special steel sheet. Third, the competition between special steel production enterprises will also affect the market price. In the fierce market competition, enterprises will compete for market share through price reduction and other ways, resulting in price fluctuations of special steel sheet.

In the future, the trend of the price of special steel sheet will be affected by more factors. On the one hand, the government will continue to promote the work of reducing production capacity and environmental governance, and strengthen the standardization and industrial upgrading of the steel industry; On the other hand, with the development of the domestic economy, the market demand for special steel sheet will gradually expand, but the market competition will also be enhanced accordingly. In this case, special steel plate enterprises need to improve their competitiveness through technology upgrading, product differentiation and other ways, so as to steadily develop and stabilize prices.

In short, the price trend of special steel sheet is affected by multiple factors, and policy guidance and market supply and demand will have an important impact on the price. In the future, with the reduction of production capacity and optimization and upgrading of China's steel industry, the price of special steel sheet is expected to maintain a relatively stable trend, but it is also necessary for special steel sheet enterprises and market participants to be vigilant, pay attention to market changes at any time, and do a good job in response.
