The Importance of Diversifying Applications of Steel Fabrication Plants in Different Markets
The Importance of Diversifying Applications of Steel Fabrication Plants in Different Markets
As the global construction industry transforms to greening and industrialisation, steel structure is becoming the preferred solution for multi-disciplinary construction by virtue of its core advantages such as high strength, light weight and recyclability. Through technological innovation and service upgrading, steel structure factories are not only deeply involved in traditional industrial and commercial buildings, but also open up new growth space in new infrastructure and overseas projects. Bringing new opportunities and challenges for steel fabrication enterprises.
Diversified Market Application Scenarios
Industrial field:
Steel structure plant and storage facilities occupy the mainstream market, especially light steel system has become the first choice for manufacturing enterprises to expand production due to its low cost and fast construction (1500m2 project duration ≤ 30 days).
The overseas demand for our steel structure plant orders focuses on emerging industrial zones such as Southeast Asia and Africa, and the 2000m2 steel structure plant project in Cambodia confirms the cross-border service capability of steel structure.
Public and commercial buildings:
Stadiums, airport terminals and other large-span space structures rely on steel structure to achieve column-free design, such as China's space Steel structure plant technology has been applied to super-high-rise landmarks.
Policy to promote the priority adoption of Steel structure plant in public buildings such as hospitals and schools to enhance seismic resistance and programme efficiency.
Emerging Field Expansion:
Steel bridges are replacing concrete in elevated high-speed railways, small and medium-span bridges and culverts, reducing deadweight and prolonging life.
New energy sectors such as wind turbine towers and photovoltaic mounts, driving demand for special steel structure plant.
New Industry Trends and Overseas Customer Value
Greening and ultra-low energy consumption:
Steel-framed assembled buildings reduce emissions by 15 per cent and consumption by 39 per cent compared with traditional concrete, which is in line with global carbon neutrality targets.
Innovative enclosure structures (e.g. high-efficiency thermal insulation coatings) enable steel-framed buildings to achieve ‘zero leakage in 10 years’, reducing long-term maintenance costs for overseas customers.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
Policy-driven opportunities:
China's ‘14th Five-Year Plan’ target: Steel structure plant will account for 15% of new construction area in 2025, and the global infrastructure gap in emerging markets will reach trillions of dollars.
The proportion of steel structure in UN procurement is increasing (annual demand of $16bn), but the direct bidding rate of Chinese enterprises is less than 2%, with huge potential.
Core Challenges:
International standard barriers: complex certification systems in Europe and the United States, and insufficient technical adaptation capabilities for small and medium-sized manufacturers.
