【有色】如何测算钢铜铝直接和间接出口——钢铜铝专题报告系列一（王招华/方驭涛/戴默）

Core Viewpoint - China, as the world's largest producer of steel, copper, and aluminum, has achieved significant indirect exports of these metals through the export of finished products [4] Direct Exports - In 2024, direct exports of steel, copper, and aluminum will account for 11%, 9%, and 15% of China's production, respectively, with crude steel production at 1 billion tons (53% of global production), electrolytic copper at 13.64 million tons (50%), and electrolytic aluminum at 4.401 million tons (60%) [5] - The export volumes for 2024 are projected to be 11.106 million tons of steel, 0.129 million tons of copper, and 0.663 million tons of aluminum, with corresponding percentages for Q1-Q3 2025 being 12%, 10%, and 13% [5] Indirect Exports of Steel - In 2024, indirect exports of steel will account for 13% of China's crude steel production, with a total of 12.848 million tons exported, including 4.98 million tons of steel products and 5.392 million tons of machinery [6] - For Q1-Q3 2025, the indirect export volume is expected to reach 110 million tons, representing 14% of crude steel production [6] Indirect Exports of Copper - In 2024, indirect exports of copper will account for 11% of China's copper production, totaling 2.65 million tons, with significant contributions from home appliances (0.86 million tons) and cables (1.17 million tons) [7] - For Q1-Q3 2025, indirect copper exports are projected to be 0.225 million tons, representing 12% of production [7] Indirect Exports of Aluminum - In 2024, indirect exports of aluminum will account for 11% of China's aluminum production, with 7.36 million tons exported, including 4.205 million tons of aluminum products [8] - For Q1-Q3 2025, the indirect export volume is expected to be 0.62 million tons, representing 12% of aluminum production [8] Incremental Exports - The combined incremental exports of steel, copper, and aluminum (both direct and indirect) will account for 6%, 5%, and 4% of their respective production in 2024 [9] - Direct export increments will represent 2%, 1%, and 1% of production, while indirect export increments will account for 4% for each metal [9]
