APAC (9th) Stainless Steel Industry Conference 2024
Entering 2024, the nickel industry experienced a full-scale surplus, a surge in Indonesian ferronickel supply, substantial production of refined nickel in China, and a contradiction caused by supply and demand imbalance that led to a continued decline in nickel prices.
Reduction in the cost of raw materials resulted in a decline in the cost of stainless steel, and prices of mainstream products like the 300-series stainless steel also fell. Meanwhile, the review of Indonesia's RKAB and the turbulence of international situation have brought numerous challenges and opportunities for the nickel-chromium-manganese stainless steel industry.
Having successfully organized this stainless steel industry conference for eight years, we are committed to providing a comprehensive platform where industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders from around the world can converge to discuss the latest trends, technological advancements, and industry challenges.
This year, we will delve into critical topics concerning the development of the stainless steel industry, including the dynamics of the nickel price index, sustainable development strategies for nickel, emerging trends in the manganese and chromium markets, and the evolving global stainless steel landscape. Join us at the conference to explore the future of the stainless steel industry together!
