What is the price of square metal tubing?
The price of steel pipes is largely influenced by the trend of hot rolled coils, as hot rolled steel serves as the primary raw material for manufacturing carbon steel pipes, galvanized pipes, square tubes, and rectangular tubes. Since the material cost accounts for approximately 70% to 80% of the total production cost, fluctuations in hot rolled coil prices directly affect steel pipe pricing. When hot rolled coil prices rise due to supply constraints or increased demand, steel pipe manufacturers face higher production costs, which often leads to an increase in steel pipe prices. Conversely, if hot rolled coil prices decline, steel pipe costs decrease, and market prices generally adjust downward accordingly.
In addition to raw material costs, factors such as processing methods, welding, galvanization, transportation, and labor also influence steel pipe prices. However, the link between hot rolled coil prices and steel pipe pricing remains the most significant indicator for buyers and suppliers. The steel futures market also plays a role, as fluctuations in hot rolled coil futures create price expectations that impact the spot market. Manufacturers and traders monitor these trends closely to adjust quotations and inventory strategies.
