Freight increases by 30% - 50%! What is the current situation of steel industry under pressure

The transportation overload has undoubtedly become one of the hottest topics in the building materials industry recently. The nationwide transportation rectification activities continue, and Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, Guangdong, Liaoning and other places have issued corresponding policies. Building materials industry is closely related to transportation and logistics, and steel industry is facing a test.

In Shanghai, for example, steel freight also rose. Some warehouses even charge an extra 30 RMB for transportation vehicles. In some markets, according to traders' feedback, it used to take only 2 cars to deliver 190 tons of steel materials, but now it needs 6 cars. However, from the whole logistics and terminal consumption, due to the comparison of steel freight and steel value, the proportion is relatively small, so the overall impact of freight increase on steel price is relatively limited.
