北京Market status and trend analysis of steel for home appliances

With the rapid development of China's home appliance market, the home appliance steel market has also developed rapidly in recent years. The home appliance steel market mainly includes steel used in home appliance products such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and special steel used in home appliance production equipment. Home appliance steel manufacturers will analyze the current situation and trend of home appliance steel market.

Current situation of home appliance steel market

From the perspective of steel varieties, steel for home appliances mainly includes cold-rolled plate, hot-rolled plate, electrical steel, stainless steel, galvanized plate and so on. Among them, cold-rolled plate, hot-rolled plate and electrical steel account for 49% of the total steel used in home appliances, and stainless steel and galvanized plate account for a relatively small proportion.

From the application field, home appliance steel is mainly used in refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, gas stoves and other home appliance products. The largest proportion of its application is refrigerators, which reach 34% of the total steel used in home appliances, followed by washing machines and air conditioners.

In terms of supply and demand, the competition in the home appliance steel market is relatively fierce, and the number of market suppliers is large, but large steel enterprises have certain market advantages. In recent years, with the integration of domestic steel enterprises, the number of suppliers in the home appliance steel market has gradually decreased, but the competition is still fierce.

Market trends of steel for home appliances

1. Diversification trend

With the continuous improvement of technology, the functions of home appliance products are constantly enriched, and the demand for home appliance steel is constantly changing. In addition to the traditional cold-rolled plate, hot-rolled plate, electrical steel, etc., there are more and more special steels in home appliances, such as strength steel, high temperature steel, flame retardant steel, etc. In the future, with the continuous upgrading of home appliance products, the demand for home appliance steel will be further diversified.

2. Green environmental protection trend

In recent years, the concept of green environmental protection has gradually gained popularity, and the production of steel for home appliances is inevitably facing environmental pressure. In the future, steel production enterprises will pay more attention to environmental protection and adopt more environmentally friendly production processes and materials, so as to meet the requirements of the market for green environmental protection.

3. High quality, high performance trend

With the continuous improvement of consumer requirements for product quality and performance, the steel used in home appliances also requires higher quality and performance. For example, the thermal insulation material of the refrigerator requires the thermal conductivity of the steel to be low, and the shell material of the washing machine requires the corrosion resistance of the steel to be strong. In the future, the market of steel for home appliances will be more inclined to the direction of high quality and high performance.

4. Intelligent trend

With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, more and more home appliance products will achieve intelligence, and the performance and process requirements for materials will be higher. For example, with the popularity of smart homes, the appearance design of home appliances is paying more and more attention to aesthetics and intelligence. In the future, the steel market for home appliances will pay more attention to the development direction of intelligence and high-end.

In summary, the diversification, green environmental protection, high quality, high performance and intelligent trends of the home appliance steel market will be the main development direction in the future. With the continuous development of the home appliance market, the home appliance steel market will continue to play an important role.
