Development Situation of Domestic Weld Tube-making Industry Since 2012 and Relevant Suggestions

Analyzed in the paper is the development situation of domestic weld tube-making industry since 2012.Negative influence by the depression of the global economy on domestic weld tube-making industry from the year has been manifested, for instance, tremendous falling of the output increase amplitude after a rise, the contradiction between surplus of the production capacity and the market demand being more obvious, and continual going down of the export proportion.From January to July, 2013, output growth of domestic weld tube industry had been sluggish, the increase amplitude continuously and remarkably going down, export growth rate falling down obviously, and the export price continuously declining.Based on the analysis, relevant suggestions are put forward, including making further efforts to develop high value-added products, actively promoting equipment upgrade and revamp of weld tube makers, and further tapping world market potential for high-end steel linepipes, etc.
