According to his forecast, only from China in 2016 14.91 million tons of steel can be sent to South Korea against 13.33 million tons in 2015.According to the institute's statement, South Korea is among the top three largest steel importers in the world, second only to USA and European Union. The share of foreign products reaches 41% of the national consumption (a record value in 2010 - 41.5%; in 2015 - 35.6%). This is more than any other major steel consumer. At the same time, foreign suppliers have fairly free access to the Korean market. In this regard, Posco Research Institute proposes to implement a number of measures that would help reduce imports and provide support to national producers. In particular, following the example of a number of countries, it is possible to introduce a provision on the use of only local steel products in the implementation of projects financed by the state. In addition, the institute recommends setting strict quality standards for rolled products for construction purposes and requiring mandatory licensing of imported products for compliance with these standards. According to the American International Trade Administration, in 2015 South Korea imported 21.5 million tons of steel, which is 3.3% less than a year earlier, and 13% less than in the record 2010. At the same time, 62% of imports was represented by supplies from China and another 30% - by the products of Japanese companies. Slightly more than half of the purchases were for flat products, 27% for long products, 14% for semi-finished products, 5% for stainless steel products and the remaining 3% for pipes. << All news © 2001 - 2016 JSC "Sibstal" Website development - Sevensmart.ru Design - White Cube Krasnoyarsk, Severnoye highway, 7 "g" Krasnoyarsk: (391) 290-40-74 290-40-73
