Top ten news releases of China's stainless steel industry in 2021

In 2021, China cumulative production of stainless steel will exceed 300 million tons (accumulated output is expected to be about 315 million tons). This is another breakthrough since my country's cumulative stainless steel production exceeded 100 million tons (109.7 million tons) in 2003 and 200 million tons (224.63 million tons) in 2018. The first 100 million tons took 51 years, the second 100 million tons took 15 years, and the third billion tons took only 3 years.

This year, the Ministry of Finance cancelled the export tax rebate for stainless steel products, covering almost all categories of stainless steel, including coils, narrow strips, profiles and pipes. Affected by the country's adjustment of steel trade policies, my country's stainless steel imports have increased significantly this year.

2021 is coming to an end. Looking back on this year, the stainless steel industry has undergone the assessment of production capacity and output "dual control" and energy consumption "dual control". Under the requirements of the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", the stainless steel industry has overcome many difficulties. Still achieved gratifying results.
