The demands from multiple fields form a growth synergy. The new energy infrastructure construction becomes the primary driving force. The annual growth rate of galvanized steel wire demand for photovoltaic brackets exceeds 18%, with a consumption of 800 tons per GW photovoltaic power station. The construction of ultra-high voltage continues to intensify. The State Grid's procurement volume in 2024 is expected to increase by 23% year-on-year, with the proportion of new corrosion-resistant standard products reaching 65%. The trend of automotive lightweighting has a significant pull. The consumption per new energy vehicle has increased to 18-22kg, and the domestic demand for automotive use is expected to reach 480,000 tons in 2025. Although the proportion in the construction field has declined, the application proportion of galvanized steel in prefabricated buildings has risen to 65%. The demand for corrosion-resistant products in marine engineering has exploded. Please provide the text you would like translated.
The acceleration of technological upgrades is driving rapid product iteration. The industry is undergoing profound technological changes. The penetration rate of chromium-free passivation technology has reached 30% by 2025 and is planned to rise to 60% by 2030. The share of zinc-aluminum-magnesium coated products is advancing from 15% to 35%. The proportion of high-end products is continuously increasing. The output proportion of domestic high-strength products with a zinc layer weight of ≥ 300g/m² has reached 42%, with a unit price 15-20% higher than that of ordinary products. Leading enterprises are leading innovation. Jiangsu Farsun has achieved mass production of zinc-aluminum-rare earth alloy coatings, and Baosteel has invested 320 million yuan to build a zinc-nickel alloy coating production line, breaking the foreign technological monopoly.
