2 min readChina’s Metallurgy Industry
In 2006，the government’s macro control and adjustment of industry policy produced impact on some metallurgy enterprises in China’s metallurgy industry.
However，the industry remained prosperous as a whole，with steady growth in output and sales revenue.The micro-economic environment and investment environment in the industry still presented a rosy picture.Listed steel companies and non-ferrous metal companies achieved encouraging performance.Therefore，the industry is worth investing.Due to low industry concentration，competition is very intense in theindustry.Thus，profitability is vital to an enterprise’s development.Irrational industry structure is a serious problem in this sector.
The excessive production capacity of some low-end products coexists with the insufficient production capacity of products with high added value.The shift from production capacity expansion to the adjustment of industrial structure is the development direction in the future.
