Analysis on development of steel pipe industry

The development of pipe enterprises is closely linked with the whole development of steel pipe industry. From the current situation, the overall development of hot dipped galvanized steel pipe is quite well, because the domestic development of construction field is faster along with advanced process of urbanization. So the demands for steel tubes are soaring. However, in the long run, there are too some problems in the development pf this industry. Besides, government policy help bolster the attempts of steel pipe manufacturers to expand steel pipe market for domestic to abroad. Therefore, what is the development issue in the trade and how to improve it? Aspects as follow may say something.

First of all, there exists an unreasonable price performance ratio. Only cost-effective products such as galvanized steel pipe are accepted by customers especially among those who take over large construction project with strict safety requirements. Taking hot dipped galvanized steel pipe as an example, we find that the price of the product and its value is not matching and some manufacturers compete on price to win customers, so price war appears. In terms of sustainable development, price war will add to development reverse and is harmful to the overall pipe industry.
Secondly, the foreign trade market of steel pipe products is not optimistic. In the international market, domestic steel pipe manufacturers also have some weakness. For example, our steel pipe size such as pre galvanized steel pipe size is not abundant to meet majority part of customers who require customized service. Besides, some problems in foreign trade of galvanized steel pipe are linked with talents who should be qualified in pipe knowledge and international market rules. It is very hard to develop better without professional talents. This require steel pipe manufacturers spend more money recruiting excellent staff and this investment is necessary and will pay off in this competitive abroad market that after-sell service is important.

At last, there is also a correlation between the development of steel pipe industry and the cooperation with downstream industries of pipe areas. As a saying goes, “know your enemy and know yourself”. steel pipe manufacturers should do more research and try to integrate the industry chain so as to have more momentum for enterprise development. When many help to gather firewood the flames shoot high. Cooperation and win-win is the key theme for the industry development. After analyzing, hope steel pipe suppliers can make out a suitable development strategy.
