Traditional industries such as spiral steel pipes have come to be viewed by the public as sunset industries.
2022-05-07
In recent years, emerging industries such as the internet and the virtual economy have grown rapidly, becoming sunrise industries, while traditional sectors like spiral steel pipe have come to be viewed as sunset industries.
However, the spiral steel pipe industry, like grain, will not become dispensable simply because emerging industries are developing. On the contrary, both spiral steel pipes and grain can be regarded as pillar industries—indeed, as evergreen sectors that remain indispensable at all times. Spiral steel pipes are widely used across a broad range of sectors. Faced with a slowing domestic economy and the steel industry’s persistent challenges over recent years—low growth, low prices, poor profitability, and mounting pressure—steel pipe enterprises cannot afford to cling to traditional models based solely on scale. Instead, they must undertake a new round of structural adjustments and technological innovation to address a series of major issues, including overcapacity. Industrial transformation and structural adjustment are arduous processes that will not proceed smoothly. As China’s economy enters a “new normal,” its steel industry has likewise entered a new phase characterized by low growth, low prices, low profitability, and high levels of pressure—a “three lows and one high”新常态.
Steel enterprises rely on low‑price competition, resulting in meager profits or even losses, which makes long‑term sustainability difficult. Coupled with increasingly stringent environmental regulations, failure to meet these standards will lead to further plant closures. For the spiral steel pipe industry, the key priority of the 13th Five‑Year Plan is structural adjustment—a critical issue that determines the sector’s very survival. In recent years, China has recognized the importance of industrial restructuring and has already undertaken capacity adjustments in certain areas.
