Where is the road of Hebei Iron and steel industry facing 2020

As China's real steel Province, Hebei's iron and steel industry, with the increase of volume and price, saw its overall profit decline in 2019. Standing in front of the gate in 2020, how to realize the transformation from "a big province of iron and steel" to "a strong province of iron and steel" in the future? How to solve the many shortcomings of the current industry development? How to make enterprises enter the fast lane of high-quality development? These are the problems urgently needed to be explored by the current iron and steel enterprises in Hebei Province. This year's operation of the iron and steel industry in Hebei Province is characterized by the first is the sustained growth of iron and steel production. Statistics show that in the first 11 months, Hebei Province produced 221 million tons of crude steel, 198 million tons of pig iron and 260 million tons of steel, up 3.8%, 2.7% and 7.5% year on year respectively. Second, the export volume of steel has been reduced and the price has increased. In the first 10 months, Hebei Province exported 5.43 million tons of steel, a year-on-year decrease of 3.1%; the average price per ton of steel was 5185.8 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.7%. Third, the price of steel as a whole rose slightly, and the long material was larger than the plate. Since the beginning of this year, steel prices have fluctuated frequently and narrowly. By the end of November, the steel composite price index was 108.17 points, up 1.05 points year on year. Among them, the price index of long timber is 116.40 points, up 3.05 points on a year-on-year basis; the price index of plate is 102.36 points, down 0.29 points on a year-on-year basis. Fourth, manufacturing costs have increased significantly. Since the beginning of this year, the prices of domestic iron ore concentrate, imported iron ore, scrap and other major raw materials have generally increased, and continued to run at a high level. By the end of November, compared with the end of last year, the purchase cost of main raw materials increased by 19.76% for imported iron ore, 8.22% for domestic iron concentrate and 4.69% for scrap steel. The cumulative manufacturing cost of pig iron of member iron and steel enterprises in Hebei Province increased by 9.77% year on year. Fifthly, the profit of steel enterprises decreased. In the first 10 months, the operating revenue of iron and steel enterprises in Hebei Province reached 1.11 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.87%; the profit reached 49.919 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 36.70%; the profit per ton of steel was 247 yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 39.65%. Many problems need to be solved urgently.

The task of "from big to strong" is a long way to go. By the end of 2018, there are 63 iron and steel enterprises with smelting capacity in Hebei Province, with crude steel production capacity of 233 million tons and nearly 400000 employees. All indicators rank first in China. The scale of iron and steel industry in Hebei Province has achieved the development from small to large. However, if we want to achieve the development from large to strong, we need to solve some problems, which are mainly reflected in the following five aspects: first, the proportion of high-end products does not match the industrial volume. Although the steel products of Hebei Iron and steel industry have basically achieved full coverage, only 10% of them are high-end products, 25% of them are middle and high-end products, 42% of them are middle and low-end products, 16% of them are middle and low-end products, 7% of them are low-end products, that is, 65% of them are middle and low-end products, and the proportion of high-end products in high-end products in China is obviously low. At the same time, the high-end products in the province are deficient in the stability and consistency of the physical quality; most of the iron and steel enterprises lack the deep processing ability of the steel products, the product homogeneity is more serious, and there are few famous brands; the gear steel and bearing steel required by the high-speed Railway cannot be produced; the weathering plate required by the bridge steel structure and the high-grade cold-rolled plate, galvanized plate and oriented silicon steel required by the automobile and home appliance industries are still in good condition Without scale, the cold-rolled sheets needed by Great Wall Motors in the province are still mainly supplied by Baosteel and Angang. Second, the industrial layout does not match the industrial volume. From the regional point of view, the iron and steel enterprises in Hebei Province are characterized by prominent regional clusters. The capacity of iron making and steel-making equipment in Tangshan city accounts for 50% and 53.8% of the total capacity of the province respectively, while that in Handan city accounts for 20% and 17.34% of the total capacity of the province respectively. These two cities bear great pressure on environmental protection. Secondly, most of the iron and steel enterprises are losing their regional advantages. At present, more than half of the iron and steel production capacity is still distributed in Tangshan The steel production capacity of urban built-up areas and surrounding areas, coastal ports and regions with resource advantages only accounts for 40% of the total production capacity of the province; the third is the net steel outflow area. According to the statistics, in 2018, only 37.3% of the steel products of Hebei Province were consumed in the Province, and other steel products were sold outside the province or exported, which undoubtedly makes Hebei steel enterprises bear high logistics costs. Third, the equipment level does not match the industrial volume. By the end of 2018, the blast furnace capacity of 1000 cubic meters and above in Hebei Iron and steel enterprises accounted for 71% of the total capacity, and the converter capacity of 100 tons and above accounted for 64% of the total capacity, both higher than the national average. But the blast furnace volume of most private iron and steel enterprises is less than 2000 cubic meters, and the nominal ton of converter is less than 200 tons.

At present, the large-scale smelting equipment has been the basic development route of many world-famous iron and steel enterprises, and has been proved to be a successful development route. Therefore, the equipment level of iron and steel enterprises in Hebei Province, especially private enterprises, needs to be greatly improved. Fourth, the innovation capacity does not match the industrial volume. The R & D investment of iron and steel enterprises in Hebei Province is relatively low, especially in the R & D of new materials; the number of R & D institutions is small, and the R & D talents of high-end products are scarce; as a large province of iron and steel, only three enterprises, Tangshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Hangang iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Xinxing Cast Pipe Co., Ltd., are shortlisted in the iron and Steel Technology Center; the number of high-tech enterprises and invention patents are relatively small, so far, the province is not independent of the enterprises Our company specializes in the research and development of new steel materials. Fifth, the individual scale of the enterprise does not match the industrial volume. At present, the number of ten million ton iron and steel enterprises in Hebei Province is obviously less, and the competition intensity of iron and steel enterprises in Hebei Province is on the high side. In recent years, although xinwu'an, Bohai steel, Jinan steel, Taihang steel, yongyang steel and other group companies have been set up successively, on the whole, the merger and reorganization of Hebei Iron and steel industry has not entered the substantive stage, and the production capacity replacement project of retreating from the city to the park has made slow progress. As the leading industry in Hebei Province, there are many "growing troubles" in the iron and steel industry, and there is still a long way to go to achieve high-quality development. Therefore, the iron and steel enterprises in Hebei Province must have firm confidence and take many measures to achieve high-quality development, specifically including the following measures: first, resolutely and orderly dissolve excess capacity.

The iron and steel enterprises in the province should earnestly implement the work plan for capacity reduction of Hebei Iron and steel industry (2018-2020), strengthen the role of standard backwardness, promote the orderly withdrawal of excess iron and steel capacity in accordance with laws and regulations, and strictly prevent the resurgence of "Di Tiao steel". By the end of 2020, the province's iron and steel production capacity will be controlled within 200 million tons. This is a key measure to solve structural contradictions and achieve high-quality development in Hebei Province. The whole industry must overcome difficulties and make great efforts to achieve this. Second, we will vigorously promote transformation and upgrading to achieve large-scale equipment. The iron and steel enterprises in Hebei Province should transform the iron and steel industry through the new generation of information technology to promote the optimization and upgrading of the iron and steel industry. By 2020, in addition to special steel and cast blast furnaces that meet the conditions for determining the scale of cast iron enterprises, through capacity reduction and replacement, the main equipment of blast furnaces below 1000 cubic meters and converters below 100 tons will be transformed into large-scale ones, and the incomplete on-site shutdown and withdrawal will make the main equipment of the whole province's iron and steel industry reach the leading level in China; enterprises with conditions will be encouraged to develop short process smelting Steel, provided that no new steel production capacity is added. Third, speed up the upgrading of products and extend the chain of iron and steel industry. First, Hebei Iron and steel enterprises should strengthen the research and development of steel products in accordance with the catalogue of industrial structure adjustment and optimization and industrial orientation of Hebei Province, focusing on high-end materials such as high-speed railway steel, automobile steel, shipbuilding steel, construction steel, mold steel, high-speed tool steel, electrical steel, high-grade pipeline steel, etc., to squeeze into the high-end market with high-quality product quality and occupy key industries The second is to provide product support for the development of prefabricated steel structure housing, steel structure bridge and steel structure three-dimensional parking lot, establish steel structure parts distribution center, produce and process standardized steel structure parts, and further expand the variety of steel structure products; the third is to develop modern non steel industries such as material flow and e-commerce platform, and promote the steel enterprises to turn from traditional material suppliers to comprehensive services The fourth is to extend the industrial chain through the development of steel deep processing, transform from steel products to steel products, and realize value-added efficiency; the fifth is to improve the level of intelligent manufacturing of enterprises with the help of advanced technologies such as robots, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Fourth, green development is the lifeline of high-quality development.

The whole industry should firmly establish the concept of green development, correctly grasp the relationship between ecological environment protection and industrial development, further accelerate the green transformation, promote the application of advanced green manufacturing technology, promote the implementation of ultra-low emission transformation, improve the industry's resource and energy utilization and clean production level; encourage steel enterprises to promote the coupling development with building materials, electric power, chemical industry and other industries and cities, Build a green industrial park. The whole industry strives to basically complete the ultra-low emission transformation by 2020, with the level of energy conservation and emission reduction leading the whole country, the utilization and disposal rate of smelting solid waste reaching 100%; the comprehensive energy consumption per ton of steel remains below 570kg of standard coal, and the energy consumption per unit of industrial added value continues to take precedence over the national average water level. Fifth, rely on scientific and technological progress to improve the innovation ability of the iron and steel industry. The whole industry should first speed up the construction of innovation system, give full play to the leading role of innovation platform, and improve the ability of continuous innovation; second, encourage enterprises to increase R & D investment, and promote the establishment of R & D institutions in iron and steel enterprises across the province. By 2020, the proportion of industry R & D investment in the main business income should strive to exceed the national average level; third, encourage industry leaders to cooperate with universities and scientific research institutes To build the innovation center of high-quality steel manufacturing industry; to vigorously promote the spirit of craftsmanship, solid overall quality management, and improve the level of lean management of enterprises; to attach great importance to the cultivation of high-end talents, so as to realize the transformation from "the generation of entrepreneurship" to "the generation of innovation". Sixth, seize the important strategic opportunity period to promote the transfer of production capacity to foreign countries.

The dominant iron and steel enterprises should take an active part in the major construction projects along the "one belt and one road", carry out project negotiation and docking in a targeted manner, and achieve the transfer of steel production capacity to foreign countries through productive capacity trading or building factories outside the province. The whole industry should give full play to the demonstration effect of hesteel, expand cooperation with central and Eastern European countries, and further expand the European market; face Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Pakistan, India and other surrounding countries, encourage steel enterprises to use existing production equipment for investment. Seventh, deepen the integration of the two and promote intelligent manufacturing. The whole industry should accelerate the in-depth integration of Internet, big data integration, artificial intelligence and iron and steel industry, realize the real-time connection of manufacturing elements and resources such as people, equipment and products, promote the customization, flexibility, green, networking and intelligence of production mode, improve the operation efficiency of enterprises, and improve the level of intelligent manufacturing of iron and steel industry. Eighth, we will promote integration and reorganization and optimize industrial layout. By 2020, Hebei Province will form the "2310" steel industry pattern goal with two large-scale steel groups of Hegang and Shougang as the leading group, three local large-scale iron and steel enterprises as the support (Qian'an, Fengnan, Wu'an), and 10 characteristic iron and steel enterprises as the supplement; meanwhile, it will accelerate the pace of joint restructuring of iron and steel enterprises in Tangshan and Handan areas, and promote the development of urban steel plants to the coastal and port areas Through the integration, reorganization and optimization of industrial layout, we will build a base of high-quality iron and steel products, and enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of the iron and steel industry in Hebei Province. Iron and steel industry is not only the "locomotive" of economic and social development in Hebei Province, but also the main battlefield of industrial restructuring and economic transformation and upgrading in Hebei Province. In a sense, the success or failure of transformation and upgrading of iron and steel industry in Hebei Province determines the future of economic and social development of the province. It can be predicted that when the iron and steel industry of Hebei Province is large and strong, it is the day when the economic province is strong and beautiful Hebei Province is built.
