Seamless pipe exports showed a substantial downward trend January 2015 - November, China exported 4,194,500 tons seamless pipe, reducing 590,100 tons compared with last year, down 12.33%. According to the previous 11-month average volume of exports and trends to forecast full-year 2015 exports are expected to reach about 4.5 million tons, down 15.32 percent.

With the world's major oil-producing countries and major economies in 2016 the development trend of foreign demand side is still very difficult to get rid of the tide. And such a situation is brought to our seamless pipe industry, "dual" will become more intense. Therefore, the probability of seamless pipe exports declined in 2016 in increasing seamless pipe export volume in 2016 is expected to be around 4 million tons.
From the outlet area, the January 2015 ~ November, the national export volume ranking 20 before (pre-20 countries accounted for 73.90 percent of total exports), only the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Vietnam and Turkmenistan year have increased, and the remaining 15 countries are in decline.
