"In 2023, the biggest difficulty facing the steel industry is the lack of effective demand, although steel enterprises based on their own production and operation actual, took a series of measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency, hedge the impact of insufficient demand, but from the perspective of the annual operation, the overall profit situation of the industry is not optimistic."Entering 2024, the steel industry will continue to implement the Work Plan for the Steady Growth of the Steel Industry, and make efforts from the following aspects:
First, we must continue to deepen supply-side structural reform, promote industry integration, increase industry concentration, control the total supply, optimize the supply structure, and resolve the contradiction between supply and demand.
Second, it is necessary to increase investment in research and development, strive to break through technical bottlenecks, improve the high-end and differentiation of products, and meet the material demand of relevant strategic emerging industries.
Third, it is necessary to further tap the potential of the standard, reduce costs and increase efficiency, fine cost control, and realize the intensive use of resources.
Fourth, we should continue to promote the internationalization of the industry, expand the market and optimize the allocation of resources by building an international industrial chain and supply chain.
Fifth, it is necessary to continue to promote green, low-carbon and intelligent transformation, change the traditional organization mode and operation mode of the industry, and upgrade the steel industry into a green and intelligent new material industry, so as to make greater contributions to stable growth and high-quality development.
