未来两年年均增长目标约4% AI助力钢铁行业更智能更绿色

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments have jointly issued the "Steel Industry Growth Stabilization Work Plan (2025-2026)", setting an average annual growth target of around 4% for the steel industry's added value over the next two years, focusing on "stabilizing growth and preventing internal competition" to guide structural adjustments and high-quality development in the Chinese steel industry [1]. Group 1 - The work plan emphasizes precise control of capacity and output, prohibits new capacity, and encourages resource allocation towards leading enterprises to achieve dynamic balance between supply and demand [2]. - The plan identifies "equipment renewal" and "low-carbon transformation" as the two core competitive issues for the future [2]. - The plan aims to strengthen the coordination of supply and demand, effectively stabilizing industry development expectations [3]. Group 2 - The work plan promotes the updating of processes and equipment, focusing on high-end, intelligent, and green development, with an annual growth of 15% in R&D investment [4][12]. - The steel industry has launched over 120 new products this year, indicating a rapid response to market demands, with a shift from generic to customized steel products [9]. - The application density of robots in the steel industry has reached 65 units per 10,000 people, with over 80% of enterprises establishing intelligent centralized control centers [11]. Group 3 - The plan includes the integration of artificial intelligence in the steel industry, which is expected to significantly reduce R&D cycles and enhance green production [13][15]. - AI-assisted systems have reduced the average R&D cycle for high-end special steel products by 56%, and quality verification processes have been shortened from 72 hours to 8 hours [15]. - The development of smart blast furnaces is projected to reduce coal and raw material usage, leading to lower carbon emissions [17].
