China's steel industry has experienced remarkable upheaval in recent years. The crude steel capacity in 2005 is almost three times of that in 2000. The huge expansion on China's steel capacity drove the industry from insufficient to over-supply and China is turning from a net importer to a net exporter in 2006. The rising of overcapacity has been concerned by the central government, and National Development and Reform Committee (NDRC) has already implemented policy to eliminate inefficient capacity. This professional report involved with exclusive information, delivering deep insights of steel industry and assistances to your business performance.
We own large in-house databases and we purchase necessary data and latest reports on capacity from authoritative data providers. And we have contacted target mills, experts and other key persons to obtain primary and exclusive capacity data and expansion projects through direct phone surveys and field interviews.
We collected primary data around 100 steel mills, directly called or field interviewed with the key persons in production, planning and sales & marketing departments in these steel mills.
Over 30 of our steel analysts spent over one and half months to finish this report.
Based on our preeminent knowledge in understanding new equipments put into production and their production cycle, we calculated effective capacity based on designed capacity. It enables the effective capacity to close to real production.
We also put in consideration the consolidation mentioned in the "Eleventh five-year" plan by central government that advocates the elimination of inefficient capacity. We pre-evaluate the progress of capacity elimination in yearly basis, based on our understanding of the steel industry and government behavior.
We eventually concluded the solid prospects of China steel industry and the features of main finished steel products' development within the coming five years by analyzing the historical data.
As the main catalyst of the global steel market, China's steel industry will continue its rapid development in 2006. This upward trend will be sustained by major steel consuming industries including construction and machinery manufacture. Covering both these industries, China Steel Industry Demand Report will deliver its audience a set of rewarding information.

Understanding about China's steel product cost advantage
Driven by iron ore's price hike in the Asian market, China – already the world's largest importer – has suffered tremendous cost growth due to its increasing dependence on foreign iron ore. Currently, China is conducting a new round of negotiations with the world's major suppliers to stop the irrational raw material price rise. What will happen to China's steel industry if foreign iron ore prices keep climbing? What is the exact cost structure for Chinese steel mills? To answer these questions, CBI Research & Consulting provides inestimable intelligence into the crux of the matter to offer you unique solutions.
CBI Research & Consulting's outstanding analysts use their expertise to summarize raw material prices, logistics costs, energy consumption, and process as key variables influencing steel production cost. Furthermore, based on our comprehensive statistical database we adopt an innovative methodology that first considers the impact of different iron ore sources and then covers the production flow of steel-making to detect any cost added along the process.
For an express overview of our independent analysis, please refer to the bullet points as follows
All the above helps you obtain a systematic view of steel production cost in China and endows you with a leading edge when it comes to China's steel industry.
