The main factors affecting the pipe market trend

 At present, the main factor affecting steel pipe market is still the supply and demand situation of rectangular hollow section. With the trade war, the market is dominated by supply and demand fundamentals.Among them, the focus of attention is still the change of market inventory. Although the overall increment is limited, the accumulative storehouse speed of the two storehouses is accelerated. Part of the increase of the two storehouses is individual storage in winter, but it is mainly caused by weak demand, and the market's expectation of accumulative storehouse after the festival is more obvious.

 

And the environmental production limit is expected last week after the release of concentrated good has been gradually digested by the market.In the case of high profits, steel pipe suppliers are still spare no effort in the production. Production limit is becoming strict in Tangshan area and the rate of blast furnace utilization has decreased, but there are still blast furnace production phenomenon of steel mills , some steel mills are preparing to resume production. According to the NDRC's website, in November, China's crude steel output reached 77.62 million tons, up 10.8 percent year-on-year, up 8.6 percentage points.Steel production rose 11.3 per cent, compared with a 2.9 per cent drop in the same period last year. From January to November, China's crude steel output was 857.37 million tons, with a year-on-year growth rate of 6.7% and a year-on-year growth rate of 1 percentage point.Steel output was 1012.92 million tons, up 8.3 percent or 7.2 percent. That will continue in the New Year, unless profits collapse, forcing mills to cut production of structural steel pipe.

 

In terms of demand, at present, the north has entered the winter break stage, and the construction in other places is obviously affected. Although the demand resilience exists, it is generally weak, which will become more and more obvious.Therefore, from the perspective of supply and demand, the market does not have the conditions for a big market. From the analysis of winter storage policy, up to now, some steel mills such as hegang, yaxin have started to issue winter storage policy, and some regions still think the current winter storage policy is too high.But the loan is also facing cost and threshold constraints, hollow section manufacturers at the end of the financial pressure is very tight.In the case of two consecutive years of losses in winter storage, businesses dare not rush to carry out winter storage operation, and another factor is the expected global economic downturn next year. Unless there is a significant pullback in January or a significant improvement in market expectations, this trend is likely to continue.

1. Steel frames save money.

One of the reasons that homeowners avoid steel is sticker shock. Compared to timber framing, the initial construction cost is typically more expensive. Long term, however, steel will end up saving everyone money. For you, the builder, you’ll find it cheaper to haul away scrap because it is recyclable, which means that waste removal companies often don’t charge to pick up your scrap steel. For the homeowner, the money savings come with things like maintenance and insurance. Tianjin steel pipes won’t rot, splinter or become damaged by pests, and insurance companies typically charge substantially less on homeowner’s insurance for steel frames over timber frames. 

2. Steel frame building materials are versatile.

No other building material can allow you to accomplish as much as you can with Tianjin steel pipe. Unlike timber, mild steel pipe is easy to shape, meaning that you can create all kinds of architectural interest. More importantly, however, is the fact that steel is more structurally sound than timber, which means that you can build much larger interior spaces without pillars or load-bearing walls. 

3. Tianjin steel pipe is the eco-conscious choice

There are many factors that make steel environmentally friendly. Tianjin steel pipes are recycled products, which means that any waste along with end-of-life steel building materials can be recycled.

These reasons should be enough for any builder to consider Tianjin steel frame building materials for their next project, but if you’d like to learn even more about steel building products, DongPengBoDa Steel Pipe is one of the famous steel pipe manufacturers in China.

Tianjin steel pipe development prospect in 2020

In the global steel pipe market, Tianjin steel tube has accounted for a large proportion. Every year, a number of customers around the world come to Tianjin for their desired steel products. Tianjin steel pipe play a significant role in the development of modern times today.

For a long time, Tianjin steel tube manufacturers by virtue of its very good reputation and high quality, stand out from other competitors in the global market. In order to meet customers’ requirements for low costs, steel pipe manufacturers in China try to carry out “dimensional accuracy improvements” that is aimed at the “elimination of cold-drawing” as well as the “workability improvements” that is aimed at the “elimination of heat treatment” in steel pipe manufacturing. In general, one of the causes for reduced dimensional accuracy is due to the deformation of the end of a pipe occurring with pipe circumferential forces and residual stress distribution during the production process. Especially in the recent years, Tianjin steel pipe manufacturers are committed to development new advanced technology in achieving improvements involving in low-strain pipe manufacturing, minimizing forming strain during the manufacturing process as well as workability in 2020. In future, it is believed that a seam-forming strain in a positive way will become even more important than technologies for the mere formation of shapes. 

For structural steel pipes, the efficiency of production in small lots has to be enhanced in the current steel pipe market. It is necessary to promote the use of cage rolls as a size-independent technology in the production process, or the application of flexible forming mills to medium diameter pipes. Besides, it is essential to manufacture products suited for the use in specific environments, and even to improve the technology applied to adding various working at low costs. As a result of the reduced manufacturing costs and improved quality, it is hoped that seam-welded steel pipes will enter the market for high-strength, high-grade pipes, in which seamless steel pipe have been predominant in the market.

Today, welded steel pipe has been widely used in pipeline projects for a long history. Medium-diameter seam-welded steel pipes are mostly used as line pipes in many large projects in the world. The most important target in the seam-welded steel pipe manufacturing process in relation to the line pipe and oil well pipe market is to ensure a welding quality that is capable of competing with seamless steel pipe in the market and also to establish a corrosion-resistant high-alloy steel pipe manufacturing technology in 2020. In addition, it will be necessary to establish atmospheric control technology in addition to the current method of heat input constant welding control, and also to develop a combined welding method based on present ERW in the current steel pipe market.

How to look at Tianjin steel pipe in 2020

It would be destined to be extraordinary in 2020. Why? Since we entered into a new year of 2020, we are suffering a worldwide epidemic so far, which has made great influence both in our work and life. So does steel pipe industry. Facing such an unexpected challenge, how we look at Tianjin steel pipe in 2020?

Overall, the current worldwide epidemic really has much effect on the steel pipe production around the world. That does not mean we will have a negative attitude towards the whole steel pipe industry around the world in the coming days. On the contrary, Tianjin steel pipe keeps giving a full play to its advantages and takes advantage of the good resources to provide customers with various types of steel products in the global steel pipe market. Especially, steel pipe manufacturers in China try to carry out “dimensional accuracy improvements” that is aimed at the “elimination of cold-drawing” as well as the “workability improvements” that is aimed at the “elimination of heat treatment” in steel pipe manufacturing. Tianjin steel pipe will adjust the production structures in production and adopt advanced technology to achieve improvements involving in low-strain pipe manufacturing, minimizing forming strain during the manufacturing process as well as workability in 2020. In future, it is believed that a seam-forming strain in a positive way will become even more important than technologies for the mere formation of shapes. 

With regard to structural steel pipes, the efficiency of production in small lots has to be enhanced in the current steel pipe market. It is necessary to promote the use of cage rolls as a size-independent technology in the production process, or the application of flexible forming mills to medium diameter pipes. Besides, it is essential to manufacture products suited for the use in specific environments, and even to improve the technology applied to adding various working at low costs. Furthermore, with the complete series of steel pipe production equipment, as well as the professional and experienced personnel, cold rolled steel pipe is committed to meeting the customer's various practical application needs so far. Moreover, it does matter that Tianjin steel pipe manufacturers should have an objective and rational analysis of the current steel pipe market considering the special conditions and potential factors in the steel pipe industry, and then make reasonable production strategies to meet the needs of customers as much as possible.

Multiple departments speed up the disposal of unqualified enterprises

The central economic work conference called for steady progress in weeding out the unqualified steel pipe manufacturers, speeding up the disposal of "zombie enterprises" and formulating exit measures. According to the work process of ministries and commissions, steel, coal and other industries are accelerating the disposal of "unqualified enterprises". Last November, for further promoting the structural reform of the supply side , some institute like the national development and reform commission, ministry of industry and information technology issued a notice to production enterprises for the disposal work. This notice further defined the disposal principle, the scope of disposal, treatment, disposal process and time, etc. In addition, the purpose of this public notice also include effectively guarding against enterprises to resolve the debt risk, boosting transfer efficiency of economic mass.

The important way to update development of the economy is steadily pushing forward the enterprise evolution. However, how to realize the evolution of hollow section manufacturers? It depends on the steel pipe market. Therefore, it is very important to create a fair competition environment and further strengthen the fundamental position of competition policy. From the current situation, it is more rely on the power of the market.

An executive director of a technology research institute said that speeding up the disposal of "zombie enterprises" has two roles. First, reduce inefficient supply, reduce overcapacity and accelerate the market clearing process. Second, they will optimize the stock of resources, increase the efficiency of resource allocation, and release a large amount of precipitated resources. These resources include tangible resources such as people, property, goods and land, as well as intangible resources such as entrepreneurship and market vitality. Of course, the short-term pain of dealing with "zombie enterprises" is inevitable. The key for China steel tube manufacturers is to stick to clear principles, use appropriate means and set rational goals. In principle, suppliers should adhere to the guidance of the government and rule of law. In terms of means, the standard of "zombie enterprises" should be defined, and different degrees of "zombie enterprises" should be classified.

The time and scope of the target should be well defined, and it is not easy to go too fast. In addition, there are many "zombie companies" in construction materials, commercial trade and real estate. In order to complete all the disposal work by the end of 2020, there is no doubt that the disposal will be intensified this year. The disposal work also include unqualified pipe production like the production of black steel pipe as raw material is very important.

Looking forward to steel pipe market in 2019 according to 2018 performance

According to the listed steel pipe companies, they announced the results that the performance of the steel pipe market in 2018 is quite excellent. The earnings of steel pipe industry ushered in a peak. Industry insiders believe that in the end of the real estate cycle, the decline in consumption of cars, appliances will continue. The steel industry has had its ups and downs in 2018.Take the local thread price in Shanghai as an example. In march, there was an extreme situation that the monthly price dropped by more than 600 yuan/ton, and then it climbed by 1200 yuan/ton and reached the high of the year in October. From the final results, steel companies still had a good year.

In 2018, the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company is expected to increase by 1.785 billion yuan to 2.088 billion yuan year-on-year, and increase by 67.46% to 78.91% year-on-year. Baosteel's net profit is expected to rise by 1.5 billion yuan to 2.3 billion yuan, up 8 percent to 12 percent year-on-year. Based on this data, baosteel's annual net profit for 2018 will exceed 21 billion yuan.

In 2018, the outstanding performance of hollow section manufacturers mainly lies in the good market environment provided by the supply-side reform. Under the background of tight balance, both quantity and price rise. In addition, about 50 million tons of production capacity of new iron ore will be added in 2018. The price of iron ore, the main raw material, fluctuates, making the cost side pressure of steel mills less. From the market situation, the overall performance of the steel sector in 2018 is not good. Compared with the tight balance between supply and demand for cold rolled steel pipe in 2018, the supply in 2019 will slightly increase and the growth of demand will slightly slow down, which will weaken the support for prices.

In 2019, with the downward pressure on the economy, the overall marginal performance of steel supply and demand is weaker, and the overall profits of the steel industry will narrow. In the past three years, the steel industry has reduced 150 million tons of excess capacity and removed 140 million tons of "steel". The power of the steel mill significantly enhanced. At the same time, the real estate demand for square steel pipe is still at a relatively high level, and more efforts have been made to make up for the shortage of infrastructure, so as to support the construction steel from the demand.

China hollow section tubes are popular in structure applications today

As we all know, the excellent properties of the tubular shape have been recognized for a long time. In the first part of the previous century, an Englishman, Whitehouse, developed the fire welding of circular hollow sections. However, the production of welded circular hollow sections became more important after the development of the continuous welding process in 1930 by the American, Fretz Moon. In the recent years, the first production methods for seamless and welded steel pipe have made great progress in the steel pipe industry.

Technically speaking, design is an interactive process between the functional and architectural requirements and the strength and fabrication aspects. In a good design, all these aspects have to be considered in a balanced way. Due to the special features of hollow sections and their joints, it seems even of more importance than for steel structures of open sections. Therefore, it is very important for you to choose the proper type of structural steel pipe in construction projects. In these years, China hollow section tubes play a significant role in the global steel pipe market. China hollow section tubes as an important building material used in the construction industry tend to serve a wide range of functions often, due to the good performances of durability, strength and resistance to harsh environment conditions. In the current steel pipe market, round steel pipe and square steel pipe are the popular building materials in construction. With steel, it's easy to expose the building's beauty in a design that will emphasize its grace, strength, transparency, and slenderness. The column-free clear spans and the use of colored steel pipe coatings bring out the natural lighting of the frame and its simple elegance. In construction projects, China hollow section tubes have many uses such as structural applications involved in residential, commercial and industrial construction. In particulars, as the flat square surface has the performance to ease construction, rectangular steel pipes are sometimes widely used for architectural aesthetics in exposed structures.

In the current steel pipe market, hot dipped galvanized steel pipe are very popular among builders. Many examples in nature show the excellent properties of the tubular shape with regard to loading in compression, torsion and bending in all directions. And these excellent properties are combined with an attractive shape for architectural applications. Furthermore, the closed shape without sharp corners reduces the area to be protected and extends the corrosion protection life in applications.

The steel industry has undergone a structural adjustment

China has cut steel production capacity of China hollow section tube by more than 150 million tons since 2016, 114% of the global total, according to 21st century business herald.To this end, China has relocated 280,000 steel workers alone, more than the total number of steel jobs in the US, Europe and Japan. At present, China's steel market conditions have improved significantly;capacity utilization rate of  crude steel has returned to more than 80% of the reasonable range. The capacity has entered the deep water now; the steel industry transformation and upgrading difficulties are also increasing. Since last year, due to the favorable market situation of the steel industry, driven by high profits, some regions and enterprises have become more willing to invest in the steel industry, and the implementation of capacity replacement in some regions is out of shape, and the impulse to increase production has increased significantly.

After more than three years of cutting capacity of mild steel tube, the steel industry is now entering a stage of structural adjustment. The means of administrative regulation is gradually weakening, mainly through the market demand by limit production enterprises, but this year the continuous pessimistic will lead to the iron and steel industry of real estate profits further narrowed. Under the pressure of deleveraging of domestic real estate enterprises, operating income and net profit of a number of listed steel enterprises in the third quarter fell to different degrees and they will continue to bear some pressure in the short term. On Oct. 28, chongqing iron and steel released its third quarter 2019 report, showing that its operating revenue in the first three quarters was 17.284 billion yuan, down 0.87 percent from the same period last year. Net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 720 million yuan, down 51.36% from the same period last year.

Chongqing steel pipe suppliers explained that the decline was mainly due to a 4.4 percent year-on-year drop in the composite sales price of steel, reducing profits by 759 million yuan. The price of ores, coal, alloys, scrap and other raw fuels increased, reducing profits by 824 million yuan; Steel sales volume increased by 4.41% year on year, increasing profit by 100 million yuan; The reduction of process costs and the reduction of expenses added 724 million yuan. In addition, steel giant baosteel's previously disclosed third quarter report showed that baosteel's operating revenue in the first three quarters of this year totaled 216.876 billion yuan, down 3.75% year on year. Net profit was 8.874 billion yuan, down 43.65% year on year; Net cash flow of structural steel pipe from operating activities was 19.595 billion yuan, down 46.68% year on year.

Tianjin structural steel pipes in the market

In the modern times, a variety of kinds of Tianjin steel pipe are widely used as structural steel pipes in construction projects. In the current steel pipe market, Tianjin structural steel pipe gains a great position for a long time.

First of all, Tianjin structural steel pipes have quite complete range of steel pipe specifications for your choice, widely used for a variety of practical applications both in production and life. Cold rolled steel pipe has an improved surface finish and tighter tolerances when compared to hot rolled steel pipe. It is commonly used for parts requiring cold forming, such as crimping, swaging or bending. It can also be used for shafts, machinery parts, bolts, pinions, gears, as well as in the creation of furniture, appliances and other consumer goods. Traditionally, Tianjin cold rolled steel pipe is rolled at room temperature, below its recrystallization temperature. This increases its strength and hardness and decreases its ductility. In addition to improvement of mechanical properties, cold rolling results in more control over the shape and dimensions of the finished product. In addition, the cold rolled steel is more precise dimensionally than a hot rolled product that created by hot rolling process, because Tianjin cold rolled steel has already gone through the cooling process, which help it closer to the finished dimension while the hot rolled steel forms the finished product looser tolerances than the original material.

How to handle potential problems in steel pipe business trade

Tianjin welded steel pipe development has always been a model of peer attention, because of its rich resources and its mature development. The successful development of Tianjin steel pipe has always been the prime example to other domestic manufacturers in these years. For one thing, Tianjin steel pipe has a very large demand potential in steel pipe market. For the other thing, Tianjin steel pipe manufacturers are facing a potential challenge in the fierce competition in steel industry.

In recent years, with the implementation of the national strategy “go out” and the international economic globalization, Tianjin welded steel pipe is actively engaging in the international market and has played a very significant role in international business. However, in the international market, China hollow section manufacturers will inevitably encounter some uncertain problems in the foreign trade. And it is necessary for domestic manufacturers to have a certain professional knowledge to actively deal with the potential issues in the foreign trade. In the modern commodity market, Tianjin welded steel pipe suppliers strive to form their own brand advantages and give full play to the brand effect as the intangible asset in the foreign trade. With regard to welded steel pipe pricing, Tianjin steel pipe suppliers need to make careful consideration such as raw materials costs, production costs, packaging & transportation and etc.

In the European market, there tends towards the relatively strict product quality inspection. In this sense, Tianjin steel pipe manufacturers are supposed to try to make continuous progress in many aspects so as to provide customers with more reliable galvanized steel pipes and further obtain the product acceptance from customers in the long run.

Tianjin rectangular hollow sections

Today, China hollow section tubes have a potential great demand in the international steel pipe market. Especially Tianjin rectangular hollow sections have been widely used in a variety of applications, such as structural applications in residential, commercial as well as industrial construction. Besides, as the flat square surfaces of rectangular hollow sections have the ability to ease construction, they are sometimes preferred for architectural aesthetics in exposed structures. Today, Tianjin rectangular hollow sections have also become very popular in many forms of construction and other structural & mechanical applications.

Tianjin rectangular hollow sections are widely used as structural steel pipes in more and more construction projects in the modern times because this type of steel pipe are high tensile property, flexible, e.g, can be designed and fabricated to any height and strength, are easy to install, possess structural reliability, easy to maintain and are corrosion resistant. Galvanized pipe is usually used as one common type of industrial steel pipe, which has been coated with a layer of zinc. Galvanized pipes offer increased protection against corrosion. Furthermore, galvanization is often less expensive than other types of corrosion protection, which make galvanized pipes more cost effective.

In the current steel pipe market, rectangular steel pipe, round steel pipe and square steel pipe are the three major members of the hollow structural sections which are metal profiles with square or rectangular tube section. Rectangular hollow sections are cold formed and welded from either hot rolled, cold rolled, pre-galvanized or stainless steel. ASTM A500 is the most common steel specification for hollow structural section in the current steel pipe market around the world. This specification is for cold formed welded and seamless carbon steel tubing in round, square and rectangular shapes. ASTM A501 is another standard for hot formed steel tubing.

As a rule, a structural steel shape is a profile, formed with a specific cross section and following certain standards for chemical composition and mechanical properties. Structural steel shapes, sizes, composition, strengths, storage practices, etc., are regulated by standards in most industrialized countries. Tianjin rectangular steel pipe has good quality and competitive price in the world due to its distinctive features and local advantages in the development for many years. Tianjin steel pipe manufacturers always try to make full use of all kinds of rich resources, as well as to combine with their own advantages so as to give full play to production activities.

How to choose the proper type of galvanized steel pipe in your project

Technically speaking, galvanized steel pipe is a type of steel pipe that has been coated with zinc. This coating protects the steel from corrosion. It is most commonly used for outdoor construction like fences and handrails, or for some interior plumbing. It is also sometimes called galvanized iron pipe.

China hollow section tubes are very popular among users today. Seamless pipe and welded pipe are two common type of hollow structural section in use. Tianjin gi square steel pipe is used widely as a versatile building material, which has led to its inclusion in nearly every stage of the construction process from framing and floor joists, to roofing materials in the society. Because of years of production and processing experience, today's Tianjin gi square steel pipe production technology has got more improved and matured. Besides, with the complete steel pipe production equipment, as well as the professional and experienced personnel, Tianjin steel pipe production is committed to meeting the customer's various practical application needs.

Hot dipped galvanized steel pipe has been considered popular a lot among many users today. For one thing, the galvanization process protects the steel from rusting damage that can occur during transportation, installation and service. The zinc layer on the surface of pipe can form a barrier protection for steel products to extend the service life in applications. For the other thing, this layer is also resistant to wear and scratch, which makes the steel look more attractive. As a rule, with different processing technology, there will be different product costs. That can be clearly reflected in the different pipe pricing of the two kinds of pipes. Due to the high costs, hot dipped galvanized steel pipe price is more expensive than other common types of steel pipes in the current steel pipe market.

Pre galvanized steel pipe is another popular type of galvanized steel pipe in the market today, which was galvanized while in sheet format, thus prior to further manufacturing. Pre-galvanization is also known as mill galvanized, due to the fact that the steel sheet is rolled through molten zinc. After the sheet is sent through the mill to be galvanized it is cut to size and recoiled. A specific thickness is applied to the entire sheet, for example pre-galvanized Z275 steel has a 275g per square meter zinc coating. One of the advantages which pre-galvanized steel has over hot dip galvanized steel is that it has a better appearance.

Tianjin black steel pipes have made great improvement today

In recent years, despite the overall slowdown, it requires much more improvement in the level of technology in the steel market. It is obvious that in present steel pipe market, a variety of kinds of steel pipe are widely used as structural steel pipes in construction applications. As for the modern techniques of black steel pipe, scientific advancement has greatly improved after the butt-weld method invented by Whitehouse. Today, with modern automatic machines, it has become possible to produce black steel pipes under the extremely high temperature and pressure. What’s more, it will somewhat facilitate steel pipe suppliers to satisfy different diameter requirements for customers.

In recent years, with the implementation of the national strategy “go out” and the international economic globalization, Tianjin black steel pipe is actively engaging in the international market and has played a very significant role in international business trade. Black steel pipe’s tensile strength makes it a better choice for people to convey water and gas in rural and urban areas. Besides, steel conduits can also be used to protect electrical wiring and deliver high pressure steam and air. The oil and petroleum industries widely use black steel pipe for convey large quantities of oil through remote areas. Although it doesn’t have a corrosion resistant layer like the galvanized steel pipes or other welded steel pipes, Tianjin black steel pipe plays an important role in fire sprinkler system.

Generally speaking, black steel pipe can be considered non-galvanized steel pipe compared with galvanized one. During the production of the black steel pipe, there will be kind of black oxide substance formed on its surface, which is one reason that people are used to name it black steel pipe. However, the black oxide substance has no capacity of anticorrosion and antirust. In other words, it is necessary to take some measures to protect the black steel pipe from rusting in daily applications. Technically, there are four common methods used to control corrosion on pipelines, such as protective coatings, cathodic protection, materials selection and inhibitors. Coatings and linings are principal tools for defending against corrosion. They are often applied in conjunction with cathodic protection systems to provide the most cost-effective protection for pipelines.

By and large, China's steel pipe downstream industry market demand is still growing, but the growth rate slows down. China's steel production capacity mainly depends on the demands of other industries. As a result, annual steel production capacity can roughly reflect the actual demand of the market. In that regard, Tianjin China hollow section tube manufacturers should try to make a careful analysis of the existing pipe market at first before production, and then make a clear product positioning.
