Introduction to Basic Knowledge of Hot Rolled Coils (II) - Market Supply of Hot Rolled Coils
1、 Production growth of hot rolled coils in China
Since 2005, the growth rate of hot rolled coil production in China has shown a flat decline. The output increased significantly from 2005 to 2007, with a growth rate of 32.4% to 36.1%; From 2008 to 2010, the growth rate dropped to 13.1% - 19.4%, but still maintained a rapid growth; The growth rate further dropped to 4.6-6.7% in 2011-2012, and picked up slightly in 2013.

3、 Output growth of various specifications
From the perspective of specifications, driven by the growth of demand for cold rolled coils, the output of hot rolled thin coils (hot rolled thin wide steel strips and hot rolled thin plates collectively) still maintained a rapid growth. After 2011, when the growth of hot rolled coils slowed down as a whole, the growth of hot rolled thin coils was significantly higher than that of medium thick wide steel strips.
Production and growth of hot rolled coils and specifications in China from 2005 to 2013 Unit: 10000 tons
