China's carbon steel industry has undergone significant development, from its early stages to its current scale. From the 1950s to the 1990s, rapid economic growth spurred the industry's expansion, leading to the emergence of enterprises with substantial scale and technical capabilities. Since the 21st century, facing resource constraints and market competition, the industry has accelerated its transformation, focusing on energy efficiency, emission reduction, and green development.

Industry trends indicate that the Chinese government has introduced a series of policies to foster carbon steel industry growth, including encouraging mergers and acquisitions, increasing industry consolidation, and promoting technological innovation. Strengthened environmental regulations require companies to enhance pollution control measures and reduce emissions. Trade policies, such as adjustments to import/export tariffs and enhanced international cooperation, have also influenced the industry’s global market dynamics.

Forecasts suggest that the carbon steel industry will maintain steady growth in the coming years, driven by expanding home appliance markets, infrastructure demands, and the rapid development of machinery manufacturing.
