Ma Jianming, a researcher at the Ministry of Land and Resources' Information Center, has stated that China's steel production is expected to reach its peak between 2015 and 2020. This projection comes as the country continues to be one of the world’s largest producers and consumers of steel.
According to recent data, China produced 540 million tons of crude steel in the first three quarters of 2012, representing a 1.7% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. Analysts predict that the total output for 2012 will surpass 700 million tons, marking a new all-time high. In addition, iron ore imports reached 36.697 million tons in the first half of 2012, with expectations that the full-year import volume will exceed 700 million tons — another record level.
Ma Jianming also highlights that China's steel industry relies heavily on imported iron ore. As domestic production remains insufficient to meet growing demand, the need for foreign iron ore is expected to remain strong in the coming years. He forecasts that the peak of steel production will occur between 2015 and 2020, with output ranging from 770 million to 820 million tons. This suggests that while the growth rate may slow, the scale of steel production will still be massive, driving continued demand for raw materials like iron ore.
With the country's rapid industrialization and urbanization, the long-term outlook for the steel sector remains robust, despite the anticipated peak. The reliance on overseas resources is likely to persist, emphasizing the importance of securing stable supply chains for iron ore in the future.High Frequency Laser Ranging Sensor
The module operates with a laser wavelength of 905 nanometers, falling within the near-infrared spectrum, which ensures minimal transmission loss in the atmosphere and poses negligible risk of harm to human eyes. Laser sensors with a 700-meter (standard specs) range typically offer high accuracy and extensive ranging capabilities, making them well-suited for applications requiring long-distance measurements. These sensors find widespread use in military, aerospace, surveying, geological exploration, and other related fields.
