How to calculate the competitive price for steel pipe

Sometimes some clients would ask us supplier of steel pipe like the seamless steel pipe, ERW steel pipe or SSAW steel pipe why the steel pipe’s fluctuation is so huge sometime? We know this situation as sometimes the price fluctuation would be 40 dollars a ton to 100 dollars a ton.

There are three main factors affecting the the price.

First of all, the balance of buy and sell. For example, if the demand exceeds the supply, then price would be up. Obverse, the price would be down.

Second, we should take a look at the original material making steel pipe. If the original material’s price is higher than before, so the price of the end product would be higher.

What’s more, policy affecting is another factor. Sometimes countries would make some policy for the product’s price.

Of course, if there is resonant fluctuation for the steel pipe, the price would be higher than the single factor. So for clients, you can make analysis before you wholesale the steel pipe.
