How can thinner wall steel pipe adapt to international market

The domestic pipe industry also has a place in the international market, not only because of the advantages of human capital, but also because the products such as mild steel tube have good characteristics. So in order to better develop the international market, how should the domestic welding steel pipe industry do to better adapt to the international market demand? As we all know, the steel pipe market is hot in terms of competition. If steel pipe suppliers want to occupy reasonable market share, they should make a comprehensive consideration. Now, we can take a look at the analysis of industry experts.

So in terms of pipe price, the best practical and realistic attitude is excellent quality and reasonable price. That means on the basis of the basic production cost, steel pipe manufacturers can plus reasonable benefit parts and all the parts include transportation cost, storage cost and the industry average profit,etc.

Secondly, rich product specifications are also very important such as the size of structural steel pipe. Welded steel pipe specifications generally have the international standard. Some areas even have regional general standard, so we must get clear of international rules and export system before selling steel pipes for abroad customers. After understanding, manufacturers can produce it according to the specifications. If the products are customized type, detailed specifications should be determined with customers because of the different applications of weights and measures. It is necessary for steel pipe suppliers to accept unified international standard, which is also advantageous for the production.

Of course, there also exist special requirements of customized welded steel pipes like cold-formed hollow sections for export. Actually, customized production is a common way for customers. Nowadays, with the continuous development of the society, the demands of customers tend to be diversified. The most important thing in customization is to determine the requirements with the customer and only when the demand is clear can the production be carried out. Special attention should also be paid to areas requiring special treatment. As long as the customer needs to be satisfied, it will also be recognized by the steel pipe market.
