The steel industry in Vietnam has witnessed significant growth in exports to the US market, demonstrating its competitive ability and reliability on the international stage. In the first 7 months of 2024, the US was the largest export market for Vietnamese steel, with 1.11 million tons, generating a revenue of 923 million USD, a 91.3% increase from the previous year. This strong signal indicates the potential for expanded trade relations between the two countries in the near future.Vietnam's steel exports to the US soar, showcasing strong trade growth and future opportunitiesChallenges and opportunitiesDespite challenges such as anti-dumping investigations by the US International Trade Commission, Vietnam has not only maintained but also strengthened its position in the global market. This is thanks to the growth in exports of corrosion-resistant steel products and oil country tubular goods (OCTG), showcasing advanced production capabilities and technology. Specifically, the US imported over 11,000 tons of OCTG products in August 2024 and 565,400 tons of CORE products in the first eight months of the year.According to the US Department of Commerce, in August alone, Vietnam exported 139,800 tons of coated steel, nearly half of which 65,200 tons were hot-dip galvanized coil products, along with 38,100 tons of other metal-coated flat steel products.Forecasts and prospectsThe Vietnam Steel Association (VSA) predicts that domestic steel consumption will increase by 6.4% to nearly 21.6 million tons. At the same time, exports of finished and semi-finished steel products are expected to grow by 12%, reaching nearly 13 million tons, further strengthening Vietnam's position on the global steel map.This impressive growth is supported by significant expansion plans in the Vietnamese steel industry. By the end of 2025, Vietnam will add an annual production capacity of 6.5 million tons of crude steel. Vietnamese steel manufacturers will also continue to implement previously announced projects and plan new facilities.Vietnam's steel industry thrives amid challenges, driving export growth and expanding global presenceIn September 2024, the phase 2 project of the Hoa Phat Group鈥檚 integrated steel plant in Nong Quy, Quang Ngai province is expected to complete the installation of a hot strip mill with a capacity of 5.5 million tons per year. The mill can produce sheets ranging from 1.2-25.4mm in thickness and hot coils from 900-1650mm in width. Once installation is completed, the Hoa Phat Group will begin cold trials and machine calibration, with hot trials expected by the end of the year. The production facility will also be equipped with two 2,500m3 blast furnaces (2.5 to 2.8 million tons/year) and a steel conversion workshop, including two continuous slab casters (total capacity of 6 million tons/year). The trial operations will be carried out in two phases: the first phase will be completed in early Q1 2025 and the second phase equipment will start operating in Q4 2025.The strong increase in Vietnam's steel exports to the US not only reflects the superior production capacity and high adaptability of the Vietnamese steel industry but also proves the commitment and continuous efforts to expand the market and improve product quality.

This price rise can be attributed to China's ongoing efforts to stabilize their steel market amidst oversupply and regulatory pressures. However, these adjustments also reflect China's strategy to maintain competitiveness in international markets by keeping prices attractive for key importers like Vietnam鈥�.The Chinese domestic and export wire rod prices also remain competitive in different ASEAN regions, such as Thailand and the Philippines, with offers varying between $485 and $505 CFR.Korean and Japanese competitivenessKorean suppliers like Hyundai, Dongkuk and Posco have set HRC SAE1006 prices in the range of $500-510 CFR for Vietnam, while transactions have been heard at around $490 CFR. This pricing indicates that Korean mills are aiming to stay competitive against Chinese offerings, adjusting prices to maintain market share in Southeast Asia.Japanese HRC prices for SAE1006 remain slightly higher ($505-510 CFR) with potential transaction prices of $500 CFR for the Vietnam market. This suggests that Japanese suppliers are maintaining a premium over Chinese and Korean offerings, possibly leveraging their perceived quality and consistency.India鈥檚 domestic price drops and anti-dumping measuresIndia's JSW and Tata have dropped domestic HRC prices (IS2062/E250 BR) to around $568-580 EXW Mumbai, likely due to subdued domestic demand and the impact of regulatory challenges, including import restrictions and BIS licensing issues.Furthermore, anti-dumping measures against Indian imports in regions like Turkey (11.65% margin on Tata Steel) and the EU are influencing India鈥檚 export strategy and competitiveness.Europe's steel market dynamicsThe European HRC market has been under pressure from oversupply, with tradable values declining to around 鈧�540-560 EXW Germany and 鈧�530-550 EXW Italy. Demand in key steel-consuming sectors remains low and the competition from external imports has pushed European mills to reduce prices. This situation is aggravated by the ongoing anti-dumping investigation against imports from Egypt, India, Japan and Vietnam, which affects the volume and price dynamics of HRC in Europe.Turkey's Erdemir and other mills are offering at around 鈧�510/mt ($570 CFR), indicating their attempt to remain competitive despite the downward pricing trend in the EU.* Please note that all pricing information in this article is based on data collected and analyzed by our team and is intended for reference purposes only.

Brazil recently launched an anti-dumping investigation into pre-painted steel products from China and India, as its actions are believed to be an attempt to protect its domestic steel industry from unfair competition.Join AG真人游戏 Steel to learn more about the incident by reading the article below.Brazil investigates anti-dumping of pre-painted steel from China and IndiaKey points of the issueCause of the incident: There have been allegations that pre-painted steel imported from China and India is being sold at prices lower than its actual value, putting pressure on domestic manufacturers and threatening the survival of the domestic steel industry.Countermeasures: Brazil鈥檚 Foreign Trade Department (SECEX) has received a request and initiated an anti-dumping investigation into pre-painted steel products from China and India. The investigation was requested by domestic steel producers CSN and Tekno Industry and Trade. Accordingly, Brazil steel producers have asked the government to impose tariffs on imported steel products. The total amount of steel and iron imported from China increased from $1.6 billion in 2014 to $2.7 billion last year. According to domestic producers, in the first eight months of this year, Brazil imported more than 148,000 tons from China and over 5,000 tons from India. The large volume of steel imports from China and India has made the business situation of domestic enterprises difficult. Therefore, the Brazilian Federal Government has conducted an investigation and will reach a conclusion regarding the imposition of anti-dumping duties on pre-coated steel products imported from these two countries. This tax is intended to regulate prices and protect the domestic market.Chinese and Indian exporters react: Chinese and Indian manufacturers and governments have protested against the measures, arguing that they are unfair and detrimental to free trade. They may also file complaints with international trade organizations such as the WTO.Impact of the event: With the investigation and the imposition of anti-dumping duties on pre-painted steel products from the world's two largest steel-producing countries, China and India, this could escalate trade tensions between these countries and Brazil, affecting global steel prices and supplies.The surge in steel imports is a particularly challenging problem for the Federal government of Brazil. Brazil鈥檚 measures come as the world braces for an increase in exports from China, as the world鈥檚 largest steel industry struggles with excess capacity amid a slowing real estate sector and weak domestic demand.Imported galvanized steel products are considered unfair competition to domestic productsWhat are the opportunities for Vietnam's steel industry?When Brazil conducts anti-dumping investigations into pre-painted steel from China and India, what opportunities will arise for Vietnam's steel industry?Increasing exports: With the anti-dumping investigation, the Brazil market may seek alternative sources of supply. This presents an opportunity for the Vietnamese steel industry to export products to this potential market.Promoting domestic production: With the opportunity to export to Brazil, this also presents a chance for the Vietnamese steel industry to boost domestic production to ensure a stable supply for export.The article on AG真人游戏 Steel has provided you with information about Brazil's anti-dumping investigation into pre-painted steel products from China and India.

The Indian government will need to carefully consider the interests of all stakeholders before making a final decision on imposing anti-dumping duties on HRC steel imports from Vietnam.The recent anti-dumping investigation into Vietnamese HRC imports has been met with strong opposition from the Indian steel user community. They fear that the imposition of such duties could lead to higher steel prices, negatively impacting industries that depend on steel, such as automotive parts, agricultural tools,...Balancing trade protection and steel user interests in India's HRC probeAccording to Upkar Singh Ahuja, President of the Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertakings (CICU) in Punjab, "We do not want anti-dumping duties applied." He argues that imposing these duties would create a financial burden on SMEs, raising input costs and reducing their competitiveness. Some industrialists oppose the anti-dumping duties on Vietnamese HRC, concerned that large steel corporations in India might gain monopolistic control over the market by raising prices unreasonably.Akash Bassi, Vice President of CICU, also emphasized that anti-dumping measures could hinder free trade, create trade conflicts and disrupt supply chains. Other industry representatives, such as Honey Sethi and Rajnish Ahuja, also noted that the steel industry is currently profitable, the additional duties are unnecessary and could threaten the sustainability of SMEs.India's anti-dumping investigation into HRC imports from Vietnam is generating mixed opinions within the industry. While some large producers support the duties to protect their interests, many SMEs are concerned that this will increase production costs, reduce competitiveness and harm the local economy. The Indian government will need to carefully weigh the interests of all parties involved before making a final decision on imposing these anti-dumping duties.

On August 14, 2024, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) in India officially initiated an anti-dumping investigation into imported Vietnamese HRC steel.According to AG真人游戏 Steel, this investigation was launched at the request of the Indian Steel Association, which represents two major steel producers: JSW Steel Limited and ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India Limited.India launches anti-dumping investigation into Vietnamese HRC steel importsWhich Vietnamese HRC products are under investigation?The investigation targets HRC products, both alloyed and non-alloyed, not clad, not plated or coated, with a thickness of up to 25mm and a width of up to 2100mm. These products fall under HS codes 7208, 7211, 7225 and 7226. The investigation will focus on the period from January 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024, with damage assessments covering the years from 2020 to 2023.Vietnamese steel alleged to be dumpedIndian steel producers allege that Vietnamese HRC is being imported into India at "dumping prices," causing significant harm to the domestic steel industry. They argue that there are no substantial differences in the physical and chemical properties, production process, technology, functionality or usage between their products and the imported steel from Vietnam.To counter the threat of cheap imports, they have proposed the implementation of anti-dumping duties on HRC imports from Vietnam to safeguard their domestic industry.Indian steelmakers push for anti-dumping duties on Vietnamese HRC importsImpact on the global steel marketThis investigation by India could have wide-reaching implications for the global steel market, particularly for Vietnam, which is among the top 5 steel exporters to India. According to BigMint research, during the fiscal year 2023-2024, India imported 3.55 million tons of HRC and plate steel, of which 620,000 tons (nearly 20%) were from Vietnam. This figure represents a threefold increase compared to the 22,000 tons imported in the fiscal year 2022-2023.Vietnam's steel exports to India triple, facing Indian market scrutinyResponse from VietnamTo respond to this investigation, the Vietnam Trade Remedies Authority has urged domestic businesses to actively cooperate with DGTR by providing comprehensive and accurate information. Additionally, businesses are advised to proactively request relevant information from DGTR to protect their interests in the investigation.As India initiates an anti-dumping investigation into Vietnamese HRC steel, the outcome could have a profound impact on trade relations and reshape the global steel market dynamics. Vietnamese steel producers must stay vigilant, actively participate in the investigation process, and defend their interests.

The situation of Vietnam's steel industry in the first 6 months of 2024 is showing positive signs when consumption output shows signs of good growth.To know more about Vietnam's steel industry, please follow the article below with AG真人游戏 Steel.Vietnam's steel industry is showing positive signsBright spots from the domestic steel marketAccording to the report of the Vietnam Steel Association (VSA), in the first 6 months of 2024, finished steel production increased by 10.1% over the same period last year to 14.427 million tons. In addition, sales reached 14.274 million tons, up 14.4% over the same period in 2023. In particular, export output reached 4.216 million tons, up 8.6% over the same period in 2023.Since the beginning of the year, the steel industry has benefited greatly from increased domestic consumption due to the recovery of the real estate market. In addition, the Government is making efforts to promote disbursement and speed up the progress of key projects. This is a bright spot for the recovery of the steel industry.According to the financial report, the highest profit continues to be Hoa Phat Group Joint Stock Company when it achieved a net profit in the second quarter of 2024 of nearly 3,320 billion VND, an increase of 127% over the same period. In the first 6 months of 2024, Hoa Phat recorded a profit after tax of nearly 6,189 billion VND, nearly 3.4 times higher than the same period last year. In the first 5 months of 2024, Vietnam exported about 5.505 million tons of steel, an increase of 25.61% over the same period last year. The export value reached 4.041 billion USD, an increase of 17.19% over the same period in 2023. This is a signal reflecting the recovery of the export market in the last months of 2024 and early 2025.The domestic steel market is gradually recoveringChallenges from trade defenseCurrently, trade defense is one of the major challenges for steel manufacturing enterprises. Recently, the EU has also initiated an investigation into HRC from Vietnam. This requires enterprises to have effective calculations and business strategies, especially to comply with regulations and proactively coordinate in issues related to trade defense.In addition, at the end of July 2024, the Ministry of Industry and Trade decided to investigate and apply anti-dumping measures on some HRC steel products originating from India and China. This decision is beneficial for domestic HRC producers but disadvantageous for many businesses that depend on imported HRC sources. For example, Hoa Phat is focusing on putting the Hoa Phat Dung Quat 2 Iron and Steel Production Complex into operation with the expectation of producing 5.6 million tons of HRC steel per year, bringing Hoa Phat's total crude steel production capacity to over 14 million tons/year.AG真人游戏 Steel has provided you with the latest information about the Vietnamese steel industry.
