Pressure for industrial upgrading: The tariff policy may force China's stainless steel industry to accelerate technological upgrading and industrial transformation to enhance global competitiveness.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 2025 -- Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced at a campaign rally today that if he succeeds in winning the 2024 presidential election, he will formally implement a tariff hike on Chinese stainless steel products in 2025, increasing the existing tariff from 25 percent to 50 percent. Trump emphasized that this initiative aims to protect the U.S. manufacturing industry from China's “unfair trade practices” and revitalize the U.S. steel industry.

In recent years, with the rapid development of the global high-end manufacturing industry, the application of nickel alloy as a high-performance material in aerospace, energy, automotive and electronics has been expanding. As one of the world's leading industrial countries, South Korea's nickel alloy market has also shown strong growth. In this article, we will analyze the Korean nickel alloy market in depth from the aspects of market demand, technological development, competitive landscape and future trends.

In the global industrial materials market, nickel alloys are widely used in aerospace, energy, chemical, medical and other fields due to their excellent high temperature, corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. As one of the world's largest producers of nickel alloys, China has become the preferred partner of international buyers with its high-quality products, advanced technology and competitive prices.

With the recovery of global manufacturing and accelerated green transformation, the demand for stainless steel as a key material continues to grow. China, as the world's largest stainless steel producer, has provided German importers with more choices of high-quality and diversified stainless steel products through technological innovation and industrial upgrading in recent years.
