China will need more steel for new industries like automobiles, shipbuilding and home appliances, which will offset the construction downturn, according to Diao Li, director at the China Iron and Steel Industry Association. Speaking at the recent Iron and Steel Technology and Economy Forum, Diao said buyers will demand more hot narrow strip, thick plate, seamless pipe, and large section steel. Tian Zhiling, vice chairman at the China Metal Society noted steel demand from domestic manufacturing and exports will be the main driving forces of steel production going forwards.
