Market overview of galvanized sheet
Author:
In recent years, the production of galvanized sheet in my country has increased year by year, and the import volume has also increased year by year, and the growth rate is even higher than the increase in production; after deducting repeated production statistics, the consumption of galvanized sheet is about 5.27 million tons. After 1999, the import volume of galvanized sheet exceeded the production volume for the first time, the self-sufficiency rate of domestic products was less than 50%, and there was a trend of decreasing year by year.
(1) Status of consumption of galvanized sheet
In recent years, the increase in domestic production of galvanized sheet is mainly due to the increase in the output of hot-dip galvanized sheet. From 1998 to 2002, the production of hot-dip galvanized sheet increased from 970,000 tons to 2.2 million tons; while the import volume increased faster, From 370,000 tons in 1998 to 1.56 million tons in 2002; apparent consumption increased from 1.32 million tons to 3.67 million tons. In 2002, the domestic product self-sufficiency rate of hot-dip galvanized sheet was about 60%. The domestic production and import of hot-dip galvanized sheet increased compared with the previous year, especially the increase in import volume, mainly due to the supply of hot-dip galvanized sheets. The increase in demand for thin-gauge hot-dip galvanized sheets for the production of color-coated sheets has led to a decline in the self-sufficiency rate of domestic products.
(2) Current situation of consumption of electro-galvanized sheet
In recent years, with the rapid development of the family car market, the basic popularization of household appliances and personal computers, the massive export of electronic products, and the development of the security door market, the demand for electro-galvanized sheets has grown too fast. At present, the production scale of electro-galvanized sheet in my country cannot meet the needs of the domestic market in terms of quantity, variety and quality. From 1998 to 2002, the domestic production of electro-galvanized sheet grew slowly, from 170,000 tons to 400,000 tons; while the import volume increased rapidly, from 730,000 tons to 1.78 million tons; the apparent consumption increased from 870,000 tons to 2.16 million tons. The self-sufficiency rate of domestic products is less than 20%.
