According to reports, the market demand for color steel plates and steel pipes in Korea is weak. At present, the price of t steel mills is 1.15 million won/ton, and the circulation price to the market is 900,000 won/ton. The discount rate is 20%. Considering that the price of galvanized sheet is 890,000 won / ton, the color board is basically unprofitable. Steel pipes are no exception. The current sales discount rate is high, the fluid pipe is about 15%, and the structural pipe is about 20%.
Despite this, the sluggish sales situation has not changed. It is understood that the current capacity utilization rate of color steel plates and steel pipes in Korea is less than 80% due to serious inventory, thus affecting normal production. In addition, the commonality of the two industries is also reflected in the excess equipment and features. It is reported that there are more than 250 steel pipe plants in Korea, and there are only 8 galvanized steel pipe plants of 8 inches or more, and the rest are small-scale survival enterprises.
Although the Korean welding tube ERW has certain advantages in the international market, the speed of development in mainland China is too high and will be surpassed at any time. The equipment and products of the color steel plate industry have no special features. The industry pointed out that the same equipment was installed at the same time to reduce the value of the products.
