China Special Steel Industry Indepth Research and Investment Strategy Report, 2013-2017

According to statistics from China Special Steel Enterprises Association, crude steel output by the 32 special steel corporations in China from Jan. to Nov. 2011 is 95.2988 million ton which increases 8.3085 million ton and grows 9% comparing with the same period in 2010. Special steel (includes special quality non-alloy steel, special quality low alloy steel and special quality alloy steel) output is 29.9373 million ton which grows 7.65% comparing with the same period in 2010.

There is a certain gap of detailed special steel product structure between China and developed economies in the world. Proportion of special steel products to special steel corporation products in domestic is only 30% while that is as high as 68% in Japan (proportion of general steel is only 8%). Products of the 32 major special steel corporations in China include non-alloy steel, low alloy steel, alloy steel and stainless steel. Proportion for high added value alloy steel, especially high alloy steel in China is obviously lower than that of abroad.

According to the experiences, after the slow growth of general steel demand there is a fast development of special steel demand. Meanwhile the strong auto industry demand and upgrading manufacturing will continuously promote the growth of special steel industry demand. What’s more, the further development of strategic new industry will promote the fast development of special steel especially high-end special steel in long-term. View from the quantum China economic growth level may decreases during the “twelfth five years” period. And we can find some inkling from steel industry, special steel industry and related industry. For example, growth rate of crude steel decreases from 13.6% in 2009 to 9.3% in 2010. However, development space for special steel is relatively big as the growth rate of special quality alloy steel increases from 18.31% in 2009 to 21% in 2010.
