"After the exploration and development in 2017, the domestic steel e-commerce industry has come out of the initial stage of flowering, leading representative companies have begun to enter the new stage of service to win." Zhu Junhong, chairman of steel silver electricity supplier of the mainstream domestic steel electricity supplier enterprises This evaluation of the industry's latest progress.
According to the latest report on the development of China's steel e-commerce, the basic competitive landscape of the domestic steel e-commerce industry at present is that each of the mainstream enterprises such as Steel and Silver Business, European Metallurgical Business and Steel Sourcing has its own strengths, while other small and medium-sized regional and professional platforms Develop together. Some platform companies have successfully listed on the new third board and other capital markets, indicating that investors are more agreeable to the space for development of steel e-commerce. The volume of steel trade achieved on the steel e-commerce platform also continued to grow. Last year, the total volume of steel trade increased by more than 21% from the same period of last year, while it reached 51% in the first half of this year.
Researchers at "My Steel", a domestic steel information agency, think the steel industry has taken the lead in the development of the e-commerce of the commodity "Industry Internet +". In terms of industry scale, trading activity and the maturity of new formats, , Are more prominent. Especially in the past two years, the "leading phalanx" of the steel electricity supplier industry has been formed and smoothly out of the initial stage of "staking their names and blooming everywhere. After attempting a series of different transaction modes such as matching, self-operation and consignment, The mainstream business model has entered a new stage of "platform + industrial chain services."
Zhu Junhong and other industry figures said that after all kinds of attempts to form enough "traffic" and stabilize the platform form in the early stage, the mainstream steel electricity supplier companies have chosen consignment as the mainstream business model and trading method. In the consignment, the platform is responsible for settlement, but does not assume the risk of price changes. Its essence is "Internet + sharing economy", with relatively high efficiency and controllable risks. In addition, the e-commerce consignment model can also break the scale operation "ceiling" formed by the traditional steel trade due to the two factors of risk tolerance and fund raising, so that the scale and efficiency space of the steel market chain operation are greatly released .
In fact, the logic of the electricity supplier's operation is not much different from the logic of the general trade, the researchers said. The fundamental question is, why do people put their goods "on your platform for sale and get what they can not get anywhere else?" At present, the mainstream domestic steel electricity providers are providing their own answers around this fundamental issue. Overall, under the premise of stable platform "traffic", the focus is placed on the service of the industrial chain. The future competition is the competition of service capabilities.
