The manufacturing level of Chinese manufacturers of wire and cable has been greatly improved after its rapid development in the period of the Tenth Five-year Plan. In terms of manufacturing scale calculated in output of conductors, China has surpassed USA and Japan and become the biggest manufacturer of wire and cable accounting for over 20% of the global total. At the same time, China maintains an annual market growth rate of over 10% and is one of the fastest growing markets in the world. In the aspect of tube and pipe industry, China has been the largest steel tube producers and consumer in the world over the years. During the Tenth Five-year Plan, the output of steel tubes keeps pace with the growth of national steel products in China. With the increase of the total number of newly-started projects in real estate, architecture scale witnesses a corresponding growth. Key national construction projects such as Beijing Olympic Stadium and Shanghai Expo Stadium will boost the demand for steel tubes in steel structures.
