The output of welded pipe will maintain a low growth rate of 7-8% in 2015

　　From May 21 to May 23, 2015, wang xiaoxiang, of the welding pipe academic committee of the rolling branch of China metal society, pointed out in a speech at the 8th China steel pipe market analysis conference held in wuxi that it would be normal for the welding pipe production to maintain a low growth rate of 7-8% in 2015. According to wang xiaoxiang's analysis, due to the domestic macroeconomic reform and adjustment, as well as the sluggish world economic growth and the lack of power for the development of the welded pipe market, the national production of welded pipe in 2014 was 5761 million tons, up 8.5% from the previous year, with a single-digit growth rate. With the development of China's national economy entering the new normal, national control gradually loosened and the housing market recovered, it is possible for small diameter welded pipe production to maintain a small growth. However, due to the slowing growth of natural gas demand, large and medium-sized welded pipe enterprises may be more difficult.
