In an interview with a reporter from China Metallurgical News, Xiao Zhou, a salesman of Shanghai Baoxia Trade Co., Ltd., which specializes in rebar and wire rods, said that the company's high-quality high-quality wire has been selling well recently. The sales volume of steel is much higher; most of the people who come to purchase are some manufacturers of metal products, who take high-strength wires and pull them into metal wires, or make various fasteners such as screws, nuts, and nuts. Similarly, some traders operating strip steel, round steel and cold-formed steel in the Yangtze River Delta region also said that the purchase volume of metal products and hardware decoration manufacturing enterprises has increased significantly compared with previous years. These enterprises use this kind of steel to manufacture hinges, door locks, Keys, knives, forks and other hardware decoration products and kitchen utensils.
This information reflects the steady development of my country's economy from one side, driving the demand for metal products, hardware decoration, and metal packaging markets. The Yangtze River Delta region is an important production base and relatively developed area for metal products in my country. In recent years, the metal products industry in the region has the most eye-catching development of fasteners, metal cans, and metal packaging.
In the fastener manufacturing industry, key enterprises such as Zhejiang Jinyi Industrial Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Changshu Standard Parts Factory, and Shanghai Biaowu High-strength Fastener Co., Ltd. have emerged in the Yangtze River Delta region. These enterprises are also actively reorganizing and combining their advantages, so that they can quickly gather different development advantages to form new synergies.
Industry analysts believe that the development of my country's urbanization will drive the machinery manufacturing industry, thereby stimulating the demand for metal products. Only in the field of construction machinery, during the entire "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the social stock of construction machinery loaders, excavators, road rollers and other series products will reach 6 million units, and the annual sales volume will be around 50,000 units. It is expected that the annual demand will be high and tight. Firmware 20,000 to 30,000 tons. In the field of agricultural machinery, in 2013 and the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the total output value of a series of agricultural machinery products such as tractors, rice transplanters, and harvesters will reach 250 billion yuan. 2 billion yuan. Affected by this, the fastener market in the Yangtze River Delta region has broad prospects.
In addition, in the metal products in the Yangtze River Delta region, the metal can making and metal packaging industries have also developed by leaps and bounds. my country's economic and consumption growth has led to the growth of the packaging industry and the improvement of the quality of packaging products. Metal packaging is widely used in industries such as food, beverages, daily chemicals and household products because of its good airtightness and bright patterns. The food and beverage industry has become the largest market for metal packaging. In addition, the chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries are also important markets for metal packaging. There is still a lot of room for my country's metal packaging market, especially in the economically developed East China, which is undoubtedly a great benefit to related companies in the Yangtze River Delta region.
At present, the metal packaging industry in the Yangtze River Delta region has formed a complete industrial system and categories, including a complete metal packaging industrial system for products such as printing and coating iron, can making, lid making, and barrel making. Most of the country's leading famous brand enterprises are located here. In 2010, Shanghai Baosteel Packaging Co., Ltd. has established can-making companies in Shanghai, Chengdu and other regions of the country by integrating other subsidiaries of Baosteel, becoming the only company in China that can provide raw materials for steel cans.
From the perspective of metal packaging variety structure, three-piece beverage cans, two-piece beverage cans, steel drums over 200 liters and food cans are the largest markets, and they are developing rapidly, promoting the overall rapid development of metal packaging. At the same time, the development of the metal packaging industry has also boosted the demand for related steel products. The steel used in metal packaging is mainly cold and hot rolled sheet, galvanized sheet and tinplate. There are 1,400 metal packaging enterprises in my country, and the annual consumption of tinplate is nearly 1.4 million tons. The average annual consumption of tinplate for each enterprise is 1,000 tons. Among them, there are about 60 enterprises with annual consumption of more than 10,000 tons, accounting for 4%.
