Asia Steel Markets 2021 Virtual Conference

This event is past. Prospectus PDF

 

Overview

Asian steel markets have long been at the centre of the global steel industry. The focus within the region has shifted however, and another transition is now underway. China is facing peak steel as it reforms away from an investment-led economy. Japan is restructuring itself for weaker domestic demand. Southeast Asia and India meanwhile are ascendant, with demand and capacity set to grow rapidly in the coming years. Key steel industries and steelmakers in the region are positioning themselves for a world that is not only post-Covid, but also driven by these emerging giants. 

Senior industry experts debated the following key issues: 

  • How long will Southeast Asia’s recovery take?
  • Will China return to dominate exports?
  • How do regional players compare emerging from the downturn?
  • Will stimulus unbalance markets?
  • Does Southeast Asia need more mega steelworks?
  • Will India hit its steel demand and production targets?
  • Will tensions between China and the US ease or continue?
  • Will Chinese imports or exports dominate markets?
  • How will Southeast Asian countries position themselves in global steel trade flows?
  • And much more..

 

Virtual Conference

Like everyone else, we look forward to when the steel industry can gather together in person once again. Until then, we are very excited to show you what our new virtual event platform can do – from interactive face to face networking, to personalised agendas, and the ability to engage with speakers via live Q&As and polls.

The virtual format also provides some advantages that you can’t get from face to face events, such as watching or re-watching programme sessions on-demand, plus the opportunity to connect with many more attendees from around the world that may not have been able to travel to Vietnam in 2021.

We very much appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you to the Asia Steel Markets Virtual 2021 conference this April.

    Welcome address & Keynote session 1: Asia steel markets – The big picture

    Asian steel markets have long been at the center of the global steel industry. The focus within the region has shifted however and another transition is now underway. China is facing peak steel as it reforms away from an investment-led economy. Japan is restructuring itself for weaker domestic demand. Southeast Asia and India meanwhile are ascendant, with demand and capacity set to grow rapidly in the coming years. Key steel industries and steelmakers in the region are positioning themselves for a world that is not only post-Covid, but also driven by these emerging giants. These new fields of competition come with challenges. Are current investments suited to a greener future? Is the current level of investment in capacity justified? And should steelmakers focus on geographic or economic developments to shape their strategies?

    • How long will Southeast Asia’s recovery take?
    • Will China return to dominate exports?
    • How do regional players compare emerging from the downturn?
    • How are major businesses protecting themselves from major economic and policy risks?  
    Speakers:
    • Chairman: Tomas Gutierrez, Managing Editor Asia & Head of Data, Kallanish
    • Li Xinchuang, President, China Metallurgical Planning and Research Institute
    • Yeoh Wee Jin, Secretary General, SEAISI
    • Kazuo Mike Fujisawa, Principal Overseas Business Planning Department, JFE Steel Corporation

    Session 2: Demand drivers and Investment risks

    Asia remains key to both global steel investment and demand. The focus however is shifting increasingly to India and Southeast Asia. These regions of rapidly growing demand are where the global industry is now turning to secure business for the coming decade. As demand develops, it will not develop evenly. Government policy, demographics and resource opportunities are driving differentiation between end use sectors in different countries. Steel investments are following these, with concentrations of new steel capacity emerging in new areas which will impact global markets through trade. As the world recovers from the Covid pandemic, levels of stimulus and support for infrastructure and new energy vehicles could define the success of investments in the short term. Environmental and demographic drivers meanwhile may define success in the longer term. How can steelmakers position themselves best to flourish in the coming years?

    • Will stimulus unbalance markets?
    • Does Southeast Asia need more mega steelworks?
    • Will India hit its steel demand and production targets?
    Speakers:
    • Chairman: Paul Mullins, Director, Kallanish
    • Sachin Shetty, Managing Partner, Quesrow
    • Harold Quek, Senior Vice President, NU STEEL Pte Ltd
    • Pham Minh Tu, Steel Analyst, Viet Dragon Securities Corporation
  • 13:00

    Session 3: The raw materials rollercoaster

    After covid hit demand through mid-2020, raw materials markets have exploded from late in the year. Iron ore has hit prices not seen since the heights of China’s post-financial crisis stimulus. Scrap meanwhile has been tightened sharply by the return of China to the international market. Much of the rally is riding on the recovery from Covid outside China, and the rest on China walking the tight line between stimulus and reform. There have never been so many variables which could disrupt the surge in prices. So is it sustainable? Or have prices reached levels that they may never see again?

    • How long will the rally last?
    • Will politics disrupt other markets as it has with coking coal?
    • How will EAFs source scrap in competition with China?
    • Is resource security sparking another wave of economic nationalism?
    Speakers:
    • Chairman: Tomas Gutierrez, Managing Editor Asia & Head of Data, Kallanish
    • Ian Roper, CEO, SMM
    • Quoc Hai Phan, CEO, Ferominco
    • Andrew Glass, Founder & MD, Avatar Commodities

    Session 4: Trade shocks and trade flows

    The biggest trade shock of the last year was invisible, catching and unpredictable. The biggest shocks of next year may be foreseeable, but other shocks may be lurking unexpectedly. A new US presidency could mean an easing of tensions with China, but strategic competition could also disrupt normal trade flows in new and unforeseen ways. Changing fundamentals could shift trade flows. China’s resurgent demand may mean the end of a threat to global prices, but its imports of scrap and struggle to reform mean exports could return in a big way. High competition could drive Southeast Asia to greater national protectionism, but this would be to miss an opportunity for the region to act in concert to leverage its unique position as the world’s largest net importer.

    • Will tensions between China and the US ease or continue?
    • Will Chinese imports or exports dominate markets?
    • How will Southeast Asian countries position themselves in global steel trade flows?
    Speakers:
    • Chairman: Adam Smith, Managing Editor, Kallanish
    • Derek Langston, Senior Director, SSY Consultancy & Research
    • Gorkem Bolaca, Managing Director, Galex Steel International
    • Dan Hilliard, Managing Editor North America, Kallanish Steel
    • Tomas Gutierrez, Managing Editor Asia & Head of Data, Kallanish

    Session 5: Asia Steel Markets – Talking Points 

    We turn to senior industry figures to debate the key questions of the day. How do they expect demand and capacity investments to develop? How will they react to the emerging risks in the market? Do they think strength in the market is sustainable.

    Speakers:
    • Chairman: Tomas Gutierrez, Managing Editor Asia & Head of Data, Kallanish
    • Ronald C. Magsajo, President, PISI & Director Technology & Industrial affairs, Steel Asia
    • Ian Roper, CEO, SMM
    • Anubhav Saxena, AVP Sales & Marketing, JSW Steel
    • Harold Quek, Senior Vice President, NU STEEL Pte Ltd
