Comprehensive view, the current domestic tinplate industry is facing great challenges and opportunities.

The author below domestic tinplate market from the past two years, the operation to proceed, outlining the current challenges and opportunities facing the industry.
Under the global economic recession, the rapid expansion of domestic tinplate production, tinplate production costs remained high and other factors effect the domestic tinplate market weakness in 2012-2013 the overall operation, has the following characteristics:

(B), the rapid expansion of production capacity, breaking the 10 million tons mark
After 2008, private factories began to explore the road of tinplate products development, and in 2012-2013 with an annual capacity quickly cast until 2012 the country more than 100,000 tons of tinplate manufacturers aggregate designed annual production capacity exceeded 600 million tons in 2013 to break nine million tons, and break through 10 million tons in 2014.

(C), high production costs, rapid decline in profits
After entering 2013 tinplate rapid decline in the market price, but the price is high cold-rolled, cold-rolled substrate, thus causing the cost of the purchase price is too high, tinplate manufacturers profits are excessive compression, as well as a partial loss phenomenon.
