In August 2025, Juyuan Steel's first shipment of steel products departed from Lanbei Port in Shandong Province for Europe. This export demonstrates the improvement of Chinese steel mills' capabilities in quality standards, logistics coordination, and EU certification, laying the foundation for products such as steel sections and rebar to enter the high-end market.

In the first seven months of 2025, China's exports of semi-finished steel (including billets) reached 7.4 million tons, a year-on-year surge of 320%. Indonesia, the Philippines, and Turkey were the main importing countries. This trend reflects the international market's increasing reliance on Chinese intermediate products, while the domestic industry is calling for an optimized export structure to avoid the loss of added value from processing.

According to market data from multiple regions from June to August 2025, the export price structure for welded steel mesh (implementing GB/T1499.3-2010) is stabilizing, with Type D (100*100mm) serving as the benchmark price, and other specifications (such as Type A and Type B) fluctuating accordingly. While the Southeast Asian market has strong demand for standardized products, customized requirements (such as oversized mesh and shearing) require negotiation based on the manufacturer's actual price.

In 2025, with the global development of infrastructure, green buildings, and smart manufacturing, export demand for steel gratings in industrial platforms, bridges, ships, and other fields will increase significantly. Hot-dip galvanized and stainless steel steel gratings are favored by European, American, and Southeast Asian markets for their corrosion resistance and recyclability. Companies are enhancing their customization capabilities through intelligent production (such as automated pressure welding) to meet international demand for high-strength, lightweight products.
