The iron and steel industry is the basic industry of the national economy. It is a technology, capital, resource, energy, and labor-intensive industry, but at the same time it is one of the industries with the most serious overcapacity and the greatest impact.
Since the beginning of 2015, the world economy has recovered slowly, and domestic economic development has continued to bear downward pressure.Affected by the decline in demand, the contradiction of oversupply in the domestic steel market has become prominent, and price competition has become increasingly fierce; the monopoly of imported iron ore prices has further increased, and the pressure on environmental protection has also increased.From the perspective of the overall development of the steel industry, the situation facing the steel industry in 2015 is still severe.
Environmental constraints have become more stringent, and the pressure on production and operation of enterprises has increased.The new environmental protection law and the new series of standards for the steel industry have been fully implemented since January 1, which not only increased the assessment indicators, but also significantly tightened emissions.To this end, on the one hand, iron and steel companies will significantly increase investment in environmental protection and launch a new round of environmental protection project construction; on the other hand, operating costs will also increase significantly.The new emission standards strictly implement total pollutant emission control for newly-built projects. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta are areas subject to special emission restrictions for air pollutants during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period and the implementation standards are more stringent.Faced with severe environmental protection requirements, the pressure on production and operation of enterprises has further increased.
Domestic iron ore companies are burdened with heavy burdens, and their dependence on imported iron ore hit a record high.Affected by increased supply and weaker demand, the price of imported iron ore has fallen sharply since last year, from 133.1 US dollars/ton at the beginning of last year to 4 yuan/ton on April 10 this year, a cumulative drop of 46.8 US dollars/ton.It rebounded in the later period and stabilized at around US$86.3/ton in May.Due to the decline in iron ore prices, domestic mining companies have encountered difficulties in their operations, especially the raw material advantages of self-owned mining companies such as Anshan Iron and Steel, Shougang, Taiyuan Iron and Steel, and Hebei Iron and Steel (5, stocks) have gradually disappeared, and even become a burden for business development.The problem of heavy tax burden on domestic iron mines is prominent, which not only caused a large number of independent mines to stop and reduce production, but also joint mining enterprises also suffered losses and reduced production, which was not conducive to the safety of the domestic steel industry.
