The fastest growing steel B2B realm

B2C developing rapidly in recent years, as the limelight, B2B is relatively a bit left out."B2B than B2C is much more complex", Dong Baoqing thinks, but the prospect of B2B far more than B2C,Carbon steel GI pipe and fitting "this (B2B) is a huge market, and many industry and the investment community concern area".Dong Baoqing, according to data released 2012 B2B trading volume is 6.25 trillion yuan, up 27% year on year, growth is far less than the 74.8% increase in B2C transactions, but it is four times the size of the B2C turnover of 1.32 trillion yuan.
Dong Baoqing pointed out that the current steel industry B2B is all production data in the field of B2B "the biggest, the fastest growing and also the fastest will be a mature industry",middle pressure seamless steel pipe and fluid pipeline "in all industries, steel e-commerce may walk in front".

He believes that this is mainly because the steel industry overcapacity, the industry into the era of supply is greater than the demand, this formed a very important driving force of the steel industry e-commerce development;In addition, the steel circulation industry in the past for less than four five distribution system for the formation of the complete collapse;And information technology, the development of the Internet,Carbon Steel 90D ELBOW(SR),ASTM A234 WPB,SMLS,SCH.20 exacerbated the collapse.

YuGang, director of the China federation of logistics and purchasing the steel logistics branch also points out that in recent years, frequent fluctuations of steel price but narrowed, by means of steel price fluctuations for profiteering era is gone forever, iron and steel circulation industry into small profit stage.This reversed transmission with steel logistics enterprises from the opportunist to service-oriented transformation.

The iron and steel industry to expand rapidly

China plays a special role in it.Its rapid expansion, iron and steel industry is more than the market demand.Many governments still cannot solve the legacy of economic crisis,Long radius 90 deg A234 pushing elbow market distortion problem for a long time.State-owned enterprises according to the policy of the government continued to expand its production capacity, busy market rule.On the other hand, private firms to pause or stop their many projects.Backward production capacity in many countries is still not be eliminated.

Excess capacity is increasingly pose a serious challenge to the global steel industry.At present,ASME Carbon Steel Welding Neck Flange the global total of 500 million tons of excess capacity.Excess capacity accounted for 36% of the apparent consumption, and in 2000, the proportion was only 19%.Many companies medium-term financial situation.This is a structural problem, need the government policy, and through the industry consolidation.

State-owned enterprises occupy a large proportion in the global steel industry.In 2011, 46 in the world's largest steel companies, 50% for state-owned enterprises;These are all Chinese state-owned enterprises.In global steel production, the output of state-owned enterprises accounted for 38%.Global overcapacity led to a surge in imports,ASME B16.9 45 Deg Long Radius butt weld Elbow as well as global demand.Trade friction intensified, the steel industry is facing downward pressure on prices.For private companies, it is difficult to maintain a certain profit space.In addition, they have to face the additional challenge: the problem of rising prices of raw materials.
