The 14th Five-Year Plan Injects New Momentum
The national 14th Five-Year Plan clearly includes special steel pipes in key new materials projects, with local governments providing subsidies of up to 15% for technological transformation projects. Hebei, Jiangsu and other places have introduced special policies to support the construction of digital workshops and intelligent factories, promoting the development of the industry towards high-end and intelligence.
Low-carbon Transformation Becomes a Policy Focus
Environmental protection policies continue to intensify, and the steel industry faces pressure to reduce carbon emissions. According to calculations, achieving carbon neutrality requires continuous investment of 500 billion yuan annually for 30 years. Hebei Province's "Guiding Opinions on the Transformation of the Steel Industry Finance" supports enterprises' low-carbon technology research and development through green loans and transformation bonds, with breakthrough technologies such as hydrogen metallurgy and electric arc furnaces attracting attention.
Emerging Markets Unleash Demand Potential
The Belt and Road Initiative is deepening, and infrastructure demand is surging in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Oil and gas development projects in Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and other countries have driven the growth of oil casing and pipeline exports. Enterprises utilize RCEP tariff preferences to increase their market share in ASEAN to 40%, and the procurement volume in the Middle East market increases by more than 500,000 tons annually.
Enterprises Seize Opportunities in the High-end Market
Chengde Jianlong, through vanadium titanium alloy technology, has developed EU-certified clean energy pipes, with a price increase of 30%-50%. The Shagang Group's Indonesian base avoids trade barriers, and its overseas revenue is expected to reach 25% by 2027. Leading enterprises are increasing their research and development of Cr-Mo alloy pipes and duplex stainless steel pipes, building a three-dimensional competitiveness of "technology + green + international".
