近日，钢铁行业的两组权威数据引发关注：世界钢铁协会于1月23日披露2025年全球粗钢产量达18.494亿吨，而中国钢铁工业协会则早在1月19日就公布了我 国全年粗钢产量为9.61亿吨。 要知道从2020年开始，我国的年钢铁产量都在10亿吨以上，没想到2025年降到了10亿吨以下，这意味着我国粗钢产量自5年来首次回落至该关口以下。 那些高污染、高能耗的"小高炉""老钢厂"，要么升级改造，要么被市场淘汰，河北、山西等钢铁重镇的产能优化尤为明显。整个行业里还掀起了"反内卷"风 潮，中钢协呼吁企业自律控产，避免低价恶性竞争，这也让产量回归理性区间。 2024年，我国的年粗钢产量还有10.05亿吨，2025年就降到了9.61亿吨，一年时间下降了4400万吨。这个减量还是比较猛的，要比德国一年的粗钢产量还多出 1100万吨，而1,100万吨，相当于西班牙一年的粗钢产量，也就是说，我国在去年一年减产的粗钢产量就相当于德国和西班牙两国一年的产量了，之前没有 出现过这么大速度的减量，所以这也是全球钢铁产业都比较关注的一点。 2025年我国粗钢产量同比猛降4.4%，这个下降幅度之前也没有出现过，其虽然很大，但我国以52%的全球占 ...

Steel Industry Analysis Summary Industry Overview - The steel industry is experiencing a significant recovery in profit margins, with profitability reaching nearly 80% in July 2025, despite a slight recent decline. This recovery is primarily due to a larger decrease in raw material costs compared to steel prices and expectations from production control policies [1][2]. Key Points Profitability and Market Performance - As of 2025, 27 steel companies reported a profitability ratio of 58.87%, a notable improvement from the previous year when most companies faced losses [2]. - The steel sector's stock prices saw a slight increase in the first half of 2025, with a stronger performance in Q1 compared to Q2, which was weaker due to slow policy implementation and market shifts towards technology sectors [3]. Demand Trends - Demand for steel in the real estate sector is declining but at a slower rate, while manufacturing sectors (automotive, machinery, home appliances, and shipbuilding) are showing growth, effectively offsetting the downturn in real estate [1][6]. - Infrastructure demand is expected to stabilize due to increased government bond issuance and special debt issuance, with a projected year-on-year decline in demand of around 1% [9]. Sector-Specific Insights - Manufacturing investment from January to July 2025 grew by 6.2%, with low inventory levels across various sectors, indicating robust demand [10]. - The automotive sector is projected to see an 8% increase in steel demand in 2025, driven by a 12.6% increase in production from January to July [12]. - The shipbuilding industry maintains a strong demand growth of around 20%, supported by long-term orders [14][15]. Export and Pricing Dynamics - Direct exports of steel increased significantly in 2025, with total import and export volumes exceeding 70 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 1.4 million tons [16]. - Domestic steel prices remain low compared to global markets, which has stimulated export growth despite challenges from anti-dumping investigations in Vietnam and South Korea [17]. Policy and Regulatory Environment - The steel industry is undergoing regulatory changes focusing on environmental standards and energy consumption, with a requirement for ultra-low emissions by 2026 [21][22]. - The carbon emissions trading market is being tightened, which will compel companies to reduce production capacity or energy consumption [23]. Raw Material Supply and Pricing - The raw material market is showing mixed trends, with iron ore prices remaining strong while coking coal prices have seen fluctuations due to production controls [24][26]. - Future supply of iron ore is expected to be relatively loose, while coking coal prices may remain firm due to ongoing supply disruptions [27]. Investment Recommendations - Investment focus should be on high-demand sectors within manufacturing, such as high-end automotive components and nuclear power-related needs, as well as capacity optimization strategies [28]. - Key companies to watch include leading firms like Hualing, Baosteel, and Nanjing Steel, along with flexible companies like Fangda Special Steel and New Steel [30]. Conclusion - The steel industry is poised for a recovery with stable long-term demand driven by manufacturing upgrades and infrastructure investments, despite challenges in the real estate sector and regulatory pressures. The focus on environmental compliance and production efficiency will shape the competitive landscape moving forward.
