In recent years, the use of scrap steel in my country has shown an upward trend year by year. Scrap steel, as a green and environmentally friendly recycled production raw material, has received more and more attention from domestic steel production enterprises. The following is an analysis of the market size of the scrap iron and steel industry.

At present, my country has entered the late stage of industrialization. With reference to the development path of the European and American steel industry, in the late stage of industrialization, the growth rate of steel demand for the development of the national economy has significantly slowed down, and crude steel output has reached its peak and has begun to enter a period of decline. Among them, the capacity/output of large-scale long-process steel plants continued to decline, while the output of electric furnace steel began to continue to grow.

The consumption of scrap steel mainly lies in steelmaking, and the consumption of scrap steel in the foundry industry accounts for a small proportion and the consumption is relatively stable. Changes in scrap demand are mainly affected by steelmaking demand. From the point of view of the process, steelmaking is divided into two types: long process and short process. Scrap steel is an important source of ferritic raw materials in the two steelmaking processes. The long process is mainly iron ore, and the short process is supplemented by iron ore. Mainly scrap steel, supplemented by molten iron.

Analysis of the scrap steel industry indicated that the supply of scrap steel in the scrap market includes not only imported scrap, but also self-produced scrap and social scrap. With the continuous development of my country's steel industry, the annual crude steel output gradually increases, and the supply of scrap steel resources continues to increase each year.

According to statistics from the Scrap Steel Association, in 2018, the total amount of scrap steel resources generated in the country was about 200 million tons. Iron and steel companies produced 40 million tons of scrap steel, accounting for 20% of the total resources; socially purchased 160 million tons of scrap steel, accounting for 80% of the total resources. %; the amount of imported scrap steel is basically negligible.

At present, there are 254 scrap steel processing enterprises nationwide, with an annual distribution capacity of about 100 million tons, and more than 500 scrap steel crushing production lines. In 2018, 73 new companies were added, mainly in coastal areas and inland areas such as Sichuan, Henan, Yunnan, Chongqing, and Hubei.

The active emergence of scrap steel processing enterprises has ensured the full utilization of my country's scrap steel resources. It is worth noting that the rapid expansion of the market has brought vitality to the development of the industry. At the same time, traders are also facing practical problems such as resource differentiation and increasing labor costs.

my country has entered the late stage of industrialization. By 2030, crude steel output will gradually decrease from the current 900 million tons to 6-650 million tons. Most of these are blast furnace crude steel production. It is expected that the environmental supervision of blast furnaces will not be relaxed in 2019. However, due to the suppression of steel prices, the phenomenon of adding scrap at no cost to blast furnace plants will also be alleviated, and the scrap steel market is tending to balance supply and demand. There will not be a sharp decline in the state, but the continuous rise of nearly half a year in 2018 is not expected to occur. The above is all the content of the market size analysis of the scrap iron and steel industry.
