- OverviewMore
- 2012 was a tumultuous year for Chinese magnesium industry as production halt, reorganization and adjustment occurred widely due to poor global economy and slow economic growth in China. Joint operation announced by Fugu Magnesium Industry pushed up magnesium metal prices, endowing domestic magnesium industry with pricing and discursive power. However, it was still full of uncertainties that whether Chinese magnesium industry can realize successful transformation.
- End-users started to build trader relations directly with domestic producers as demand from international market continued to decline with business margins , which issued challenges to intermediate traders. In addition, Customs policies of downgrading exchange rates and raising ocean freight added fuel to the fames to magnesium traders with the result that some participants had envisaged a dead line while others had turned to other fields.
- Unprecedented pressures see both challenges and opportunities. Hence, magnesium manufacturers familiar with market disciplines and trend will make the best use of capital, information and new supply mode ahead of time in order to gain an advantage over the future reform.
