Policies promote the development of fabricated steel structures. Some regions of China have successively issued policies to support the priority of steel structure in public buildings. With the gradual implementation of the policies, the demand for steel structure is expected to maintain a sustained growth. The 14th five year plan of steel structure industry and the long-term goal of 2035 put forward the development goal of steel structure industry during the 14th five year plan: by the end of 2025, the proportion of steel structure buildings in the newly-built building area will reach more than 15%, and by the end of 2035, the proportion will gradually increase to 40%, basically realizing the intelligent construction of steel structure. In 2020, the construction area of fabricated steel structure will be 190 million m2, accounting for 6.18% of the new construction area. The development prospect of fabricated steel structure industry is broad. As the leader of steel structure manufacturing industry, the company has a promising future.
