The downstream demand of the 304 stainless steel plate industry has further shrunk, and the characteristics of iron ore that are easy to rise but not fall will undoubtedly aggravate the difficulty of the operation of the steel industry. The upgrade and transformation of the steel industry implies opportunities. The differentiated development of high-end steel varieties by steel companies is a way to break through. Even if the entire industry is still operating at a low profit, those steel companies that are committed to vigorously developing high-quality special steel varieties are still worth looking forward to. In the second quarter of this year, my country's GDP increased by 7.6% year-on-year, the lowest growth rate since the second quarter of 2009. Combined with the PMI index, it is expected that the GDP growth rate in the third quarter will still have greater downward pressure. Infrastructure investment such as real estate, railways, highways, and water conservancy is closely related to the intensity of demand. The real estate investment from January to June this year totaled 3.06 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.6%, and the growth rate continued to show a downward trend, 1.9 percentage points lower than the growth rate from January to May. Real estate investment and speculative demand are still suppressed. The slowdown in demand growth, the upgrading of the steel industry, the restriction of environmental resources, and the homogeneous competition will be the four major tests facing my country's industry. We must pay attention to cultivating and enhancing mid-to-high-end competitiveness, and accurately grasp the characteristics of the world economic structure entering the adjustment period, and strive to cultivate China's new development advantages. The direction of these industry-wide efforts and the new development advantages that are being bred are the potential investment opportunities brought about by the transformation and upgrading of the steel industry, but it will take a while for the steel industry to reproduce the past. In order to meet the needs of industrial transformation and upgrading, steel enterprises should give top priority to product upgrades, and improve the quality, grade and stability of large-volume and wide-ranging steel products as the top priority of product structure adjustment.
