China Steel Exports Surge due to Domestic Overcapacity

Oct 09, 2006

Share |
Export of steel & steel products, in China, rose by around 40 percent to reach almost 27Mn tons, whereas import of the same slid nearly by 12 percent to approximately reach 27Mn tons in the previous year (2005). The increase and decrease in China’s steel exports and imports, respectively, were mainly caused by redundant production and excess capacity of the China steel industry.
 
However, in spite of the continuous overcapacity and over production of steel due to domestic supply largely outpacing demand, China is not likely to stop importing some sorts of steel soon. The reason behind the continuous imports is that China needs value-added high-end steel & steel products to meet the demands of China Steel Regional Markets.
 
Though the overproduction of steel in China resulted in surge in the export of the same and in turn earned huge revenues for the country, it’s raising concern among the authorities.
 
RNCOS- a market research and analysis firm- has recently published a report “China Steel Industry Analysis (2006)”. According to this report, “National development and Reform Commission (NDRS) plans to control the overall steel manufacturing capacity of the country around 402Mn ton between 2006 and 2010 (during the eleventh 5-Year Plan)”.
