The steel structure industry is developing rapidly, with huge market potential to be explored

Since the 1990s, the steel structure industry has been flourishing, with increasing market demand. The technological development, talent reserves, and market applications of the steel structure industry have made great strides, and various indicators of the industry have entered the world's advanced ranks. However, in the current situation, due to overcapacity in steel production and prominent supply-demand contradictions in the market, the steel structure industry is currently facing transformation and development based on merit.
The main material of steel structure buildings is steel, which has advantages such as high strength, light weight, good rigidity, and strong plastic deformation ability. It is suitable for constructing various types of super tall, large-span and other large buildings. Currently, China's domestic super high-rise buildings, large industrial factories, sports venues, etc. all use steel structures for construction.

At the same time, steel structure buildings also have characteristics such as earthquake resistance, wind resistance, durability, convenient installation, environmental protection and energy conservation. These features greatly extend the lifespan of buildings, enhance stability, shorten construction and demolition periods, reduce labor costs, and reduce pollution.

In recent years, the domestic economy has developed rapidly, and the demand for steel structure products has been continuously increasing. The production of steel structure products has been steadily increasing for many years. According to relevant statistical reports, from 2009 to 2015, the growth rate of China's steel structure production remained stable at over double digits. Against the backdrop of the rapid development of steel structures, excellent technical solutions are constantly emerging in the industry.

Up to now, the domestic steel structure industry has a complete product system, continuous innovation, and the level of construction and installation has entered the world's advanced ranks. Its output, industrial scale, and market size all rank first in the world.

However, the steel structure industry has a low entry threshold, intense industry competition, and extremely limited market concentration. At the same time, the steel structure industry faces problems such as unreasonable layout, uneven regional development, and low industrial level in the central and western regions. In summary, China is currently a major steel structure country, but it is not yet a strong country in the steel structure industry. There is still great room for progress in China's steel structure industry in the future.

In the future development prospects, the steel structure industry is mainly applied in industrial production, rail transit, municipal construction, energy construction, and villa housing. For example, steel structure residential villas have a very low proportion of steel structure construction in urban areas in China, while the proportion of steel structure residential buildings in developed countries in Europe and America is as high as 50%, with huge market potential. If effectively promoted, the steel structure industry will inevitably achieve further geometric growth.

In short, the steel structure industry still has great market potential in China. In the future, the steel structure industry needs to continuously improve product quality, regulate market order, regulate regional development imbalances, change the unreasonable structure, and achieve vigorous and healthy development in order to narrow the gap with developed countries and achieve the goal of becoming a strong steel structure country.
