From the export of seamless pipes in my country in recent years, since 2014, the export volume of seamless pipes has basically been at the level of 4 million tons, but in 2020, affected by the new coronavirus epidemic, the export volume of seamless pipes has fallen "cliff-like", and then the export volume of seamless pipes has gradually recovered. In 2022, the rise in international energy prices led to an increase in investment, and the export of seamless steel pipes returned strongly, reaching 4.9011 million tons, accounting for 17.5% of the domestic seamless steel pipe production. In view of the good performance of seamless steel pipe exports in the first half of 2023, the export of seamless steel pipes in 2023 will still maintain a good momentum, and it is expected that the export volume in 2023 will remain at 4.5 million tons, which will account for 16.4% of the domestic seamless steel pipe production. In recent years, on the one hand, affected by the continuous rise in domestic seamless steel pipe prices, and on the other hand, due to the excellent performance of domestic seamless steel pipes in the field of international high-end seamless steel pipe use, the average export price of seamless steel pipes has shown an upward trend year by year. Affected by the sharp drop in domestic steel prices in 2023, the average export price of seamless steel pipes in my country fell to US$1,518.70/ton from January to June.
