In 2020, the production of China's stainless steel reached 30.14 million tons, an increase of 740,000 tons from the previous year. China's share of global stainless steel production rose to 59.2 percent in 2020 from 56.3 percent in 2019, according to the data released by the International Stainless Steel Forum.

As a bellwether of China's stainless steel industry, Wuxi in East China's Jiangsu province has been continuing its expansion of both upstream and downstream industrial chains for more than two decades.

In the course of business operations, the production mode, quality and price of the stainless steel vary from each other.

In order to give full play to the application of cutting-edge stainless steel science and technology, build a standard system in line with international standards, as well as effectively help industrial integration, the group standard of the stainless steel industry in Jiangsu province was officially put into pilot implementation on Nov 20.
