Hardware stainless steel tube industry market development trend

The State's "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" puts forward: the development of safe and efficient coal mines, the promotion of coal resource integration, the merger and reorganization of coal mining companies, the development of large-scale coal enterprise groups, and the orderly development of coal-based natural gas, coal-based liquid fuels, and coal-based multi-product production R&D , steadily push forward the industrialization development; increase the exploration and development of oil and natural gas resources, stabilize domestic oil production, promote the rapid growth of natural gas production, promote the development and utilization of unconventional oil and gas resources such as coalbed methane and shale gas, and develop clean, efficient and large-capacity fuels; Coal-fired units will give priority to the development of large and medium-sized cities and industrial parks, cogeneration units, and large-scale coal-fired power stations and coal gangue power stations. During the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the state will focus on the development of energy-saving and environmental protection industries, new energy industries, bio-industries, and high-end equipment manufacturing industries. These industries will promote the growth of high-end stainless steel pipe industry demand.

From the perspective of growth mode, the domestic stainless steel pipe industry has entered the phase of structural adjustment from the quantitative growth type. The future direction of development is to constantly adjust the product structure, vigorously develop high value-added, high-tech content products, and do not have the ability to innovate and scale. The small stainless steel pipe manufacturing companies will be eliminated in the market.

1. Oil and Gas Industry Petroleum and chemical industry are the pillar industries of the national economy, and their products play a decisive role in the national economy industrial chain. According to the “Twelfth Five-Year” development target set by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association, the average annual growth rate of the GDP of the oil and chemical industry during the 12th Five-Year Plan period will reach 10%, and by 2015 it will achieve a total industrial output value of 120,000. Billion dollars, the amount of import and export trade amounted to 300 billion US dollars.

Natural gas belongs to clean energy and has a low greenhouse gas emission, which facilitates large-scale transportation and application. According to the forecast of the International Energy Agency (IEA), by 2030, the use of natural gas will increase at a rate of 2.1% per year, which is greater than the growth rate of 1% of oil, and the proportion of energy consumption will gradually increase. In recent years, driven by domestic demand for natural gas, China's natural gas production has grown rapidly. According to the Statistical Bulletin of the National Bureau of Statistics of China, from 2007 to 2011, China’s natural gas production was 69.24 billion cubic meters, 80.299 billion cubic meters, 85.269 billion cubic meters, 94.848 billion cubic meters, and 103.06 billion cubic meters, an increase of 18.25% and 15.97, respectively. %, 6.19%, 11.23%, and 8.66%; natural gas consumption was 69.523 billion cubic meters, 81.293 billion cubic meters, 89.52 billion cubic meters, 107.576 billion cubic meters, and 2011 data billion cubic meters, an increase of 23.84% and 16.93%, respectively. 10.12%, 20.17% and 20.4%.

As an important transportation tool for natural gas, the stainless steel pipe industry will gain huge market opportunities in the development of China's natural gas industry.

The National Energy Work Conference was held in early January 2011. The meeting concluded that China's natural gas demand may increase at a compound annual growth rate of 25% (2011-2015) from 97 billion cubic meters in 2009 to about 2,600 in 2015. One hundred million cubic meters. Therefore, the high boom of oil and gas pipelines and wells is expected to run through the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”. Among them, natural gas pipelines account for nearly 50% of the share of oil and gas pipelines. Therefore, the great development of natural gas will certainly promote the prosperity of the oil and gas pipe industry.

2. Characteristics of China's resource endowments in the coal-to-natural gas industry are "rich coal, lack of oil, and low gas." Coal resources in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and other places are abundant, but transportation costs are high. Therefore, transforming the coal resources in the coal-rich area into natural gas on the spot has become another important strategic choice after coal power generation, coal oil production, and coal-to-olefin production.

In recent years, with the vigorous development of the coal chemical industry and the substantial increase in the consumption of natural gas, the coal-to-natural gas industry in China has made considerable progress and has become a hot spot for investment in the coal chemical industry. Since 2010, with the rising prices of imported natural gas, China's coal-based natural gas market has continued to heat up. In March 2010, the Liaoning Datang International Fuxin Coal-based Natural Gas Project, with a total investment of 25.7 billion yuan, was started construction in Fuxin City. In May 2010, the construction of the first phase of coal-to-gas natural gas in the Qinghua Coal Chemical Industry Circular Economy Industrial Park in Xinjiang was launched.

With the implementation of domestic sustainable development strategies and the strengthening of environmental protection and other policies, the domestic natural gas consumer market will continue to expand. Expanding the supply of natural gas resources through multiple channels and methods and improving the gas source structure have become an important strategy for optimizing China's energy structure. Coal natural gas, as an alternative and supplement to LPG and natural gas, not only realizes a new approach to clean energy production, optimizes the industrial structure of coal deep processing, but also has the characteristics of high energy utilization, and is in line with the development direction of coal processing and utilization at home and abroad. It is of great significance to ease the shortage of domestic natural gas and safeguard China's energy security. In the long run, the trend of rising natural gas prices in China is determined. Therefore, the cost advantage of coal-based natural gas will gradually emerge, and the economic benefits will be considerable. The coal-to-natural gas industry in China will have a promising development prospect. The development of coal-based natural gas will also further expand the market space for oil and gas pipelines.

3. The power equipment manufacturing industry accelerated the construction of power generation capacity after 2003. Since 2008, especially due to the financial crisis, the growth rate of electricity demand in the entire society has slowed down, and pressure on the power equipment manufacturing industry has become greater. However, the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction in China's power industry is clear. Thermal power generation and nuclear power, which are closely related to the stainless steel industry, are still the country's key industries.
