Currently, the industry presents the characteristics of “double-track evolution of technology depth and model innovation”, the head enterprise relies on the integration of the whole industry chain (mining-smelting-high-end manufacturing) and core technical barriers (such as ultra-pure materials, extreme environment adaptation) to build a moat; midstream enterprises focus on substitution of sub-segment scenarios (photovoltaic silver paste, marine alloys) to build differentiated advantages through customized R & D and green standard domination; emerging forces enter the incremental market through short process optimization and recycling of renewable resources. Midstream companies focus on substitution in niche scenarios (photovoltaic silver paste, marine alloys), and build differentiated advantages with customized R&D and green standard domination; emerging forces cut into the incremental market through short-flow process optimization and recycling. The core challenge is to cope with the price fluctuation of nickel and chromium resources and the balance of low-carbon transformation investment, and the future competition will accelerate to the green metallurgy technology (hydrogen steelmaking) and globalization of resource synergy (overseas mine layout) dimensions of upgrading.
