Five Transformations of China's Stainless Steel Hardware Products in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, China’s hardware industry will implement five major transformations: First, shift from extensive production to intensive, second, from labor-intensive to technology-intensive, and third, from quantitative expansion to qualitative improvement. It is a low-cost, low-price, high-value-added, high-margin improvement. Fifth, it mainly focuses on exporting OEMs to independent brands. Achieve the transition from a "manufacturing power" to a "manufacturing power."

Stainless steel in the use of stainless steel metal products, a medium-sized tableware factory consumes 2,000 tons / month to 3,000 tons / month, stainless steel materials are mainly 304,430. A medium-sized nail clipper factory uses about 300 tons of stainless steel per year, and stainless steel materials mainly use 420. The annual consumption of kitchen equipment, cooking utensils, and tableware is 100,000 tons. The main stainless steel grades are SUS304 and 430, and the specifications are less than 3mm. Other household kitchen appliances, including range hoods, are mainly made of ferritic stainless steel. The quantity is 70,000-100,000 tons; stainless steel fasteners need 58,000 tons of rods and wires, and the consumption of stainless steel wire is 70,000 tons per year, including welding wire, steel wire rope, wire mesh and microfilament, fastener wire, etc.; valve steel year Consumption is 37,000 tons; tableware and special-purpose consumption is 25,000 tons per year. The annual consumption is about 300,000 to 350,000 tons for mirrors, mirrors and stainless steel welded pipes for construction, decoration and decoration. The main stainless steel type is SUS304, and the specification is less than 2mm.

The just-concluded Fourth Session of the 11th National People's Congress and the Fourth Session of the Eleventh National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference made it clear that China's economic development goals for the current year and the next five years will meet the challenges and opportunities of the stainless steel metal products industry. The stainless steel products market with huge potential will become a major highlight of the stainless steel market. At the same time, people in the industry have also put forward new and higher requirements for domestic stainless steel materials to meet the needs of the development of the stainless steel products industry during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period.

Premier Wen Jiabao pointed out in his "Government Work Report" of the "**": "We must push economic development to a new level. In the next five years, our country's economic growth is expected to be based on an apparent increase in quality and efficiency. The growth rate is 7%. Calculated according to 2010 prices, the GDP in 2015 will exceed 55 trillion yuan.” The “12th Five-Year Plan” period is an important strategic opportunity period for China’s economic and social development, and it is also the stage of China’s economic development from the middle of industrialization. In the critical period of late transition, due to factors such as external environment, institutional reforms, industrialization, informatization, and urbanization, economic development will exhibit many new features and trends that are different from those in the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period.

Stainless steel metal products are an important part of the metal products industry. The metal products industry includes manufacturing of structural metal products, manufacturing of metal tools, manufacture of containers and metal packaging containers, and manufacturing of stainless steel and similar daily-use metal products. With the advancement of society and the development of science and technology, metal products have become more and more widely used in various fields of industry, agriculture, and people's lives, and they have also created greater and greater value for society.

Similarly, stainless steel metal products are involved in many industries and their application fields are extremely wide. In particular, more and more daily-use stainless steel products are used in people's daily lives. For example, stainless steel kitchen utensils involve millions of households. Among them, there are knives, forks, spoons (Chinese and Western foods) and stainless steel dishes (pots, pots) in stainless steel cutlery; the kitchen equipment includes conditioning tables, washbasins, storage cabinets, exhaust hoods, buffet equipment, etc.; Including cabinets, sinks, gas appliances, range hoods, stainless steel cups, etc.; stainless steel daily hardware in nail clippers, razors, knife and scissors; stainless steel construction hardware in the screen, hinges, slides, decorative pieces, etc. .

The main raw material for stainless steel metal products industry is stainless steel. During the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, China's economic development focused on people's livelihood and improved people's lives. In the future, attention to the “people's livelihood ideology” will be an important concept guiding the development of light industry such as metal products and home appliances. Undoubtedly, the demand for stainless steel in the metal products industry will increase significantly. According to statistics from insiders, there are currently more than 400 stainless steel vessels manufacturing enterprises in China, mainly private small and medium-sized enterprises, which consume about 500,000 tons of stainless steel plates and have sales of about 15 billion yuan, of which about 50% are. The products were used for export. Before the financial crisis, the total export volume of Guangdong Xinhui alone exceeded US$1 billion.
