Abstract: The current situation of domestic steel tube industry is briefed. It is asserted that where the said industry is being fast developed,certain major problems exist. Considering the development law,the current situation and requirements for the development with respect to the steel tube industry,the development trend of domestic steel tube sector in the expected future is analyzed,i.e.,creating innovative steel tube enterprises,organizing large-scale steel tube groups,properly controlling of production capacity,switching over the economic growth mode,continuously enhancing the proportion of home-made tube-making equipment,intensifying comprehensive utilization of energies,making more efforts in raw materials supply and tube finishing,keeping in pace with the ever-changing market,speeding up the unification of national steel tube standards with relevant international ones as well as attaching more weight to steel tube in-deep processing,etc.
