The start of a new year brings new promise. New expectations, new hope, new developments. And we here at Accurate Steel Mills Limited believe in that too. That is why we remain committed to you through a number of new developments upcoming within the year.
As a major manufacturer in the industry, we saw a number of key challenges that faced consumers in the market:
Lack of Liquidity: There was a large money shortage in the market which resulted in delayed payments for a lot of in-flight customer relationships and projects. The crunch began at the beginning of 2019, but continually eased during the course of the year and we expect it to continue to ease into 2020.
Surge in Market Prices: 2019 saw a major challenge for suppliers in the market, given that both demand and price of raw materials fell for 3 consecutive quarters in the year. Although it is still early, prices have rebounded sharply from the November 2019 levels, coupled with the production issues seen from both Korea (Mill Breakdown issues) and China (Coronavirus related delays) which we believe will sustain the price rise.
Economic Landscape: 2019 also saw the major global shift in focus on more ‘environmental’ production. The steel industry is a very difficult industry for this production method to manifest in, so we will look to see how the European and Asian counterparts tackle this issue in their production methods.
Given the above challenges, we still see large growth prospects for the market, especially in 2020, and believe in the importance of our quality now more than ever. The Steel Mill focused much of its effort into ensuring that all of its products continue to remain the highest possible standard supplied to the market. Our in-house laboratory ensures that quality is never compromised and that you get what you pay for – a top quality product.
