Throughout more than 160 years of the development of the world steel industry, the global pattern has been constantly adjusted, and the focus of production and consumption of mild steel tube has shifted from the United Kingdom and the United States to the former Soviet union and Japan. From 1996, when China’s steel output exceeded 100 million tons for the first time and surpassed Japan as the world’s largest producer of steel, to 2018, China’s total crude steel production reached 10.902 billion tons, accounting for 37.8 percent of the world’s total output in the same period. Especially in the past decade, China has accounted for almost half of the world’s steel production and consumption.

China’s iron and steel industry is not only providing better and better materials at home and abroad, but also contributing more and more to the country’s economy and world development through its experience in green manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing and industrial restructuring. Especially today, China has become the world’s second largest economy. With 70 years of development, China has surpassed the development history of western industrial countries for more than 200 years.We are even more proud of the fact that the “tall buildings” of the republic are supported by the “steel bones” of the Chinese steel people. History shows that the development of any developed economy is closely linked to the strong development of the steel industry. China steel tube manufacturer has become the main driving force of this round of global steel industry.
