Core Insights - The article provides a comprehensive overview of the silicon steel industry chain, highlighting its upstream, midstream, and downstream components, as well as the geographical distribution of key players and the pricing structure of the industry [1][3][5]. Industry Chain Overview - Silicon steel serves as a primary raw material for various components, with a relatively simple upstream consisting of silicon iron, industrial silicon, and synthetic metals, along with production fuels [1][3]. - The midstream involves the production and processing of various types of silicon steel, with major players including Baosteel, Shougang, and Taiyuan Iron and Steel [3][4]. - The downstream applications encompass large motors, household appliances, new energy vehicles, and transformers [1][4]. Geographical Distribution - The silicon steel industry is predominantly concentrated in North China, with upstream companies located in resource-rich regions such as Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, and Hebei [5]. - The industry chain is well-developed in East China, particularly in Jiangxi, while Central China, especially Henan, has a robust industry chain as well [5]. - Key upstream players in Inner Mongolia include Junzheng Group and Ordos Metallurgy, while major midstream companies include Baotou Steel [5]. Value Chain Dynamics - The market price of the silicon steel industry is influenced by supply, manufacturing, and application sectors, with costs driven by raw materials, labor, and energy prices [7]. - The transmission of prices from the supply side to the manufacturing side creates production costs, which then affect consumer pricing based on market demand elasticity [7]. Pricing Structure Analysis - According to Mysteel data, the average cost for domestic short-process production in 2024 is projected to be 4,690 yuan per ton, with an average gross profit of 223 yuan per ton, resulting in an overall gross margin of approximately 5% [10]. - Recent trends indicate that short-process silicon steel producers are experiencing relatively low profit margins, with some firms even facing losses [10].
