Industry pattern and trend

China's economic growth in 2020 is facing greater downward pressure, especially the epidemic has further increased the downward pressure on China's economy, coupled with the global spread of the epidemic has a significant adverse impact on international logistics and trade. However, 2020 is the year of building a well-off society in an all-round way and ending the 13th five-year Plan. In the face of the increasing downward pressure on the economy, the Chinese government is expected to increase investment in infrastructure and reduce the financing costs of enterprises to stimulate economic growth. After the outbreak, China's economy will revive and continue its previous growth. Therefore, although there is a great downward pressure on the macro-economy in 2020, the range can be controlled, and the depth and long-term adverse effects on China's economy can be controlled. As the government is likely to increase investment in infrastructure and take measures such as reducing financing costs to ensure macroeconomic stability at a manageable level, demand for China's stainless steel production in 2020 will continue the high demand of previous years and may fluctuate slightly while overall demand remains high.

From the point of view of the domestic market, as the largest stainless steel producer in the world, the output of stainless steel crude steel in China has accounted for more than 50% of the total output of stainless steel crude steel in the world. At the same time, China is also the world's largest stainless steel consumption market, accounting for more than 40% of the world's total stainless steel consumption (source: ISSF 2018 data).

By the end of 2019, according to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, the urbanization rate in China is 60.60%, which is still far behind the urbanization rate of 80% to 85% in developed countries. China's urbanization level will continue to advance in the next few years. With the improvement of the level of urbanization and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the demand for stainless steel products such as stainless steel pipes and stainless steel roofs will also be greatly improved in people's daily life. The Green Building Evaluation Standard (GB/T50378-2019), a new national standard implemented on August 1, 2019, requires the indoor use of stainless steel pipe or copper pipe, indicating that stainless steel pipe has become the main choice for indoor water supply pipe, which will further stimulate the demand for stainless steel products such as stainless steel pipe. Therefore, in the future, with the rapid development of the national economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, as well as urbanization construction, manufacturing upgrading, consumption level upgrading and stainless steel application field expansion to form a new demand growth point, China's stainless steel demand as a whole to maintain a high and stable growth.

Further Development of Cold rolled stainless Steel towards High end and customization

With the transformation and upgrading of China's industrial structure, the application field of high-end stainless steel continues to expand.

Therefore, the cold rolled stainless steel industry will further develop in the direction of higher end and customization.

Development trend of Cold rolled stainless Steel Industry

Throughout the development of the stainless steel industry in recent years, the cold rolled stainless steel industry has shown the following trends in recent years: overall, the competition in the industry is becoming increasingly fierce, originally not engaged in stainless steel cold rolling upstream and downstream enterprises began to dabble in the stainless steel cold rolling field, for example, Delong Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. extended from focusing on hot rolling to cold rolling; In the field of precision cold rolled stainless steel strip, although it is faced with a relatively high technical and capital threshold, stainless steel cold rolling enterprises in the industry actively carry out the research and development of high end precision cold rolled stainless steel strip in order to expand to the high end cold rolling field. For example, Ningbo Baoxin stainless Steel Co., Ltd. has moved from wide width cold rolling of stainless steel to precision cold rolling in recent years. At the same time, the industry leaders with wide width and precision cold rolling industry, such as Shanghai Shida Precision stainless Steel Co., Ltd., Yongjin Stock and Ningbo Qiyi Metal Co., Ltd., continue to strengthen technology and research and development, and further consolidate and expand market share; low-end precision cold rolled stainless steel strip enterprises in the industry have been increasingly unable to meet the upgrading quality needs of downstream customers, and will gradually withdraw from the market competition in the future.

In addition, due to the downstream industries of industrial upgrading and product upgrading faster and faster, for the upstream wide cold rolled stainless steel strip enterprises, will continue to strengthen with its upstream smelting and hot rolling manufacturers and downstream stainless steel application customers research and development cooperation, enhance their own customized processing capacity, actively promote the upgrading of industry production processes and technical equipment, to meet the more and more high-end needs of downstream customers.

The trend of in-depth Cooperation and Industry Integration in the Upper and Lower reaches of the Industry

Under the background of the continuous promotion of supply-side reform in the iron and steel industry, both upstream stainless steel smelting and hot rolling manufacturers and downstream stainless steel cold rolling manufacturers are seeking closer cooperation between upstream and downstream stainless steel cold rolling manufacturers. For the upstream stainless steel smelting and hot rolling enterprises, ensuring the long-term stable smelting and digestion of hot rolling capacity is its long-term market strategy, while for stainless steel cold rolling enterprises, the stable supply of high-quality hot rolling raw materials is an important guarantee for the sustainable and stable operation of enterprises in the industry.

Company 2020 goal

The main work target in 2020 is to strive to achieve the expected operating income of 18.58 billion yuan to 21 billion yuan in 2020, an increase of 17% to 32.68% over the same period last year, and the net profit of listed companies is expected to be 365 million yuan to 425 million yuan, an increase of 9.67% to 27.70% over the same period last year. The company's comprehensive strength and market competitiveness have been further enhanced, and the international influence has initially emerged.

In 2020, the company will continue to actively and steadily promote the construction of the investment project, and properly tilt the project in terms of personnel arrangement, work focus, and so on. In 2020, the company will continue to purchase important equipment such as cold rolling units, bright return units, leveling machines, and so on. We will strive to complete the acceptance of the first production line by the end of the year, so as to lay the foundation for the economic benefits of the project as soon as possible.

The smooth establishment of Vietnam Yongjin is the first step for the company to move towards an international industrial layout. In 2020, the company will continue to respond to the national "Belt and Road" development strategy and continue to promote the existing Vietnam Yongjin project. strive to pass the approval procedures such as environmental assessment of Vietnamese government departments at an early date, and strive to start the construction of the project as soon as possible.
