The metallurgical industry has always been a big gas user. In the metal smelting project, it can not be separated from sufficient high pressure gas. In particular, the iron and steel industry needs high pressure gas. When the iron ore is sintered, a reliable and safe compressed air is needed to complete the dynamic execution link, and the air purge instrument is also needed. Air compressors are also needed in the process of steel transportation. In addition, air compressor is also needed in non-ferrous metal smelting. It can be said that compressor plays an important role in many aspects of the smelting industry.
The iron and steel industry has been in a steady rising trend in the first half of the year. The latest data show that the first half of the steel industry boom in the high, ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry profit growth of 96.4%; 1-5 month key steel enterprises profit amounted to 37 billion 885 million yuan, more than 2016 full year profit, profit rate of sales in 2016 rose 1.36 percentage points. The output of crude steel in 1-6 months was 419 million 750 thousand tons, up 4.6% over the same period. In June, the average daily output of crude steel was 2 million 441 thousand tons, and the ring ratio rose by 4.72%, creating a new high.
China's large Steel Corp also has a good form. Shougang shares ranked first in net profit growth. The company expects net profit of 900 million yuan -9.5 billion yuan in the first half of this year, an increase of 5371.12%-5675.08% compared with the same period last year. The largest net profit is expected to be the largest share of Baosteel, and the company expects net profit to grow by 50% in the first half of the year. Last year, the net profit of 3 billion 468 million yuan was estimated, the first half of 2017 is expected to achieve a net profit of about 5 billion 200 million yuan. In addition, Angang, nanganggufen, River Steel shares, *ST 5 companies, Valin steel Minguang first half net profit of more than or close to 1 billion yuan.
From the investigation, the Specialized Committee IOT steel logistics release of iron and steel industry PMI index, July was 54.9%, up 0.8 percentage points from the previous month, the three consecutive month in more than 50% of the expansion of the range, the iron and steel industry high degree of prosperity for the compressor industry, is good news.
In the first half of this year, the steel industry has been developing well. Its liquidity has exceeded expectations, and even the off-season is not bad. The main reason is that the policy of continuous production capacity and the downstream demand continue to grow. On the ground of steel ban; continue to promote, to accelerate production capacity and environmental supervision and production situation of iron and steel industry access threshold to improve. Under the condition of constant demand, the quality of the supply products has been raised. In addition, the iron ore import is still in a market environment of oversupply. It is expected that the overall performance of the industry will remain high in the second half.
In addition to the good performance of iron and steel industry, the smelting of non-ferrous metals is also showing a high degree of visibility, which is always at a high level with the recent copper price. The healthy development of the iron and steel industry and non-ferrous metal smelting can not be separated from the favorable driving force of the macro economy. The macro economy drives the healthy development of metallurgical industry, and the metallurgical industry drives the demand space for the compressor market. The current market data show that the second half of the metallurgical industry especially the iron and steel industry will be in a good situation, the steel industry of 20 cubic meters of screw air compressor and centrifugal air compressor of the large market demand, we can foresee that this part of the compressor maintenance and sales market will continue to grow.
The future of the steel industry in the increase of industrial concentration, the increase in capacity utilization, the market environment is fully purified under the condition of the compressor will total demand unchanged or increased, this time to meet the requirements of environmental protection and production requirements of the enterprise will be focused on the production of the demand for iron and steel, metallurgy industry, compressor maintenance, market and customer service of new energy saving that is obvious positive.
At the same time, in the iron and steel industry to produce production capacity, environmental protection and quality testing tighter environment, the demand for environmental protection and energy saving compressor may be increased. Of course, with the improvement of the demand for the quality of steel products, it will gradually push the compressor industry to improve the technology and later maintenance.
