The Cold-drawn Wire Industry Is Embracing A Golden Opportunity For Development: Driven By Both Increasing Demand And Technological Innovation, The Industry's Concentration Is Continuously Improving.

In the field of metal processing, the cold-drawn wire industry is undergoing a series of changes and developments, and has recently shown many new trends worthy of attention. Please provide the text you would like translated.
From the perspective of market size, corrosion-resistant alloy cold-drawn wire for welding, as an important branch of cold-drawn wire, has shown a strong growth momentum. According to relevant data, the market for corrosion-resistant alloy cold-drawn wire for welding in China has grown significantly in recent years. By 2023, the market size had reached 6.78 billion yuan, and it is expected to exceed 9.35 billion yuan by 2025, with an average annual compound growth rate of approximately 12.4%. This growth is mainly driven by the continuous release of demand in downstream fields such as petrochemicals, marine engineering, and power equipment. Among them, the petrochemical industry holds the top position with a 42% market share. In scenarios such as deep-sea oil and gas pipelines and maintenance of refining and chemical equipment, the annual growth rate of demand for 316L and 2205 duplex stainless steel cold-drawn wire has reached 14.8%.

Technological innovation has always been the key factor driving the progress of the cold-drawn wire industry. Recently, Qingdao Zhuorui Metal Products Co., Ltd. has obtained a patent for a device called "A Cold-Drawn Wire Shell-Removing and Wire-Feeding Guiding Device" (Patent Publication No. CN 222725139 U). This device can adjust the number of rollers engaged and the angle at which the steel wire passes around the rollers, allowing for flexible adjustment of the wire tension. This significantly enhances the stability and efficiency of the steel wire production process. Moreover, when the steel bars exit the shell-removing device, it can clean the slag adhering to the surface of the steel bars, reducing environmental pollution. This innovative achievement reflects the industry's pursuit of efficient and environmentally friendly production technologies. Looking at the entire industry, enterprises have improved the grain size of their products to 8 - 10 grades by enhancing the controlled rolling and controlled cooling process, and combined with laser surface treatment technology, have increased the pitting resistance equivalent number (PREN) of the products to over 40, a 25% improvement over traditional processes, significantly extending the product's service life in extreme environments. In terms of digital transformation, leading enterprises have deployed intelligent quality inspection systems on their production lines, integrating 5G transmission and big data analysis equipment, reducing the product defect rate from 0.3% to 0.08%, providing more reliable material support for high-end equipment manufacturing.

In terms of market competition and structure, the concentration of the cold-drawn wire industry is gradually increasing. Taking the market for cold-drawn corrosion-resistant alloy wires used in welding as an example, the market share of the top five enterprises has risen from 39% in 2020 to 54% in 2023. Leading enterprises such as Baosteel and Taiyuan Iron & Steel have occupied a large market share by virtue of their technological accumulation and product layout. Meanwhile, emerging enterprises are also making continuous efforts, and the trend of import substitution is becoming increasingly evident. However, market competition remains fierce, and enterprises need to constantly improve product quality and service levels to enhance their competitiveness.

The policy environment has also brought new opportunities to the cold-drawn wire industry. The "Guidance Catalogue for the First Batch Application Demonstration of Key New Materials" has included duplex stainless steel cold-drawn wire in the key support areas. The proportion of fiscal subsidies for green manufacturing technology transformation projects in various regions has been raised to 15% - 20% of the investment amount, driving the industry's R&D investment intensity to reach 3.2% in 2023, an increase of 93% compared to five years ago. New application scenarios are constantly expanding. For instance, the demand for Inconel 625 cold-drawn wire in the welding field of hydrogen energy storage and transportation containers has grown by 21% year-on-year. The domestic production rate of titanium alloy cold-drawn wire for spent fuel reprocessing equipment in nuclear power plants has increased from 35% in 2020 to 68% in 2023.
