The factors that affect the price advantage of hot-rolled steel plates can be summarized into the following categories:
Raw materials and production: The prices of raw materials such as iron ore and coke directly affect costs; The changes in energy consumption costs such as environmental protection investment and electricity prices, as well as the high or low utilization rate of production capacity, will further dilute or increase the cost per ton, weaken or strengthen the price advantage.
Market supply and demand: When downstream industries such as construction and automobiles have strong demand during peak seasons, enterprises can produce at full capacity to dilute costs, highlighting price advantages; If production capacity is released too quickly or downstream demand is weak, oversupply will force companies to lower prices and consume price advantages.
Policy and Trade: Capacity control policies will increase compliance costs; The adjustment of import and export tariffs, export tax rebates, and exchange rate fluctuations will directly affect export costs and quotations, changing their international market price competitiveness.
Logistics and Competition: Rising oil prices and other factors will drive up transportation costs and weaken regional price advantages; The price reduction of alternative materials such as cold-rolled plates and aluminum alloy plates, or the scale competition of leading enterprises in the industry, will also squeeze the price advantage space of hot-rolled plates.
