, the "2025 Iron and Steel China 3rd East China Metal Sheet Industry Conference" was held in Wuxi, Jiangsu. As an important support unit of this conference, Taihao Petrochemical was invited to attend this industry event and gathered with representatives of steel industry chain enterprises, industry experts and senior analysts from all over the country to discuss the transformation path and future opportunities of the metal sheet industry in the new development stage.

Looking back to 2024: industry adjustment period of challenges and adhere to

The past 2024 was a challenging year for the sheet metal industry. Affected by multiple factors such as fluctuations in the macroeconomic environment and weak demand in the traditional steel sector, the contradiction between supply and demand in the industry has become prominent, and market competition has become increasingly fierce. Many companies are facing the pressure of declining efficiency. In this context, Taihao Petrochemical has always adhered to the original intention of quality, relying on its own resource advantages and technology accumulation in the field of petrochemical raw material supply, to provide stable and high-quality raw material support for sheet metal manufacturers, and to help partners gain a firm foothold in the cold winter of the industry.

At the same time, Taihao Petrochemical is also keenly aware of the urgency of industry upgrading and transformation, actively responds to the national "double carbon" strategic call, integrates the concept of green development in the research and development and supply of raw materials, and promotes the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to jointly explore low-carbon production paths. Contribute to the sustainable development of the industry.

Focus on 2025: Change breeds new opportunities

Entering 2025, the sheet metal industry is still facing a lot of pressure, but behind the challenges, new development opportunities are also quietly gestating. With the continuous growth of cold-coated metal sheet production capacity, as well as the rising demand for metal sheet in emerging fields such as photovoltaics, new energy vehicles, and steel structures, the market consumption potential needs to be tapped.

At the scene of the conference, senior analysts of Shanghai Iron and Steel Union brought in-depth analysis on the trend of China's steel market, interpreting the key signals of industry development for participants from the dimensions of macro-economy, policy orientation, market supply and demand. Technical experts from Taihao Petrochemical also delivered a keynote speech on "Coordinated Development of Petrochemical Raw Materials and Metal Sheet Industry under Dual Carbon Goals", sharing the company's practical experience in green raw material research and development, industrial chain collaborative innovation, etc., and proposed "raw materials-Production-Application" The cooperation idea of greening the whole chain triggered a heated discussion among the guests.

In addition, the conference also set up a number of special forums, covering the steel structure industry, photovoltaic and bracket industry and other fields. The participants conducted in-depth exchanges on hot topics such as the innovative application of sheet metal products, the landing of intelligent manufacturing technology, and the collaborative optimization of supply chain. The collision of ideas has injected new vitality into the development of the industry.

Hand in hand, draw a new blueprint for the industry

As an important participant in the upstream of the industrial chain, Taihao Petrochemical knows that industrial development cannot be separated from upstream and downstream cooperation. This participation in the 3rd East China Sheet Metal Industry Conference is not only a feast for the exchange of industry information, but also an opportunity to deepen cooperation and build consensus. In the future, Taihao Petrochemical will continue to give full play to its own advantages, strengthen communication and cooperation with all parties in the industrial chain, continue to make efforts in raw material supply, technological innovation and green development, and work together with industry colleagues to solve the problems of industrial development. explore the road of high-quality development, and contribute more to promoting the transformation, upgrading and sustainable development of the metal sheet industry in East China.
