THE MARKET OF STAINLESS STEEL BAR AND WIRE IN INDONESIA


THE MARKET OF STAINLESS STEEL BAR AND WIRE IN INDONESIA - The market volume of stainless steel in the form of rod, small bar and wire, has
experienced a considerable increase in recent years, in line with the growth of user
industries primarily include industrial wire welding (welding electrodes), nuts and bolts,
gaskets, spring and industrial furniture made of metal. However, because there is no
industry in the country that produces stainless steel products, then the increase in the
market volume is entirely enjoyed by imported products.
Stainless steel rod is stainless steel which is the result of a process of hot rolled in the
form of coil, which will be further processed by downstream industries. This material will
be processed as cold drawn to be wire or small bars in diameter, properties and finishing
as required by the end user industries.

materials stabilized lately. After that, the market volume fluctuated with an increasing
trend to an increase in market volume significantly.

stocker.

The domestic market for stainless steel rod, bars and wires are still highly dependent on
imported products, because there is no domestic industry producing it. Imports of this
material showed a positive growth trend. This growth was driven by development of its
downstream industries, especially welding electrodes industry, nuts and bolts industry,
also made of metal and furniture industry.
Imports of stainless steel rod, bar and wire showed increased fairly stable even though it
had been a surge of imports then fell back surged again until doubled. Judging from its
value, the growth rate of imports of stainless steel is greater, because it is driven by the
