Seamless steel pipe price trend on March 9, 2026
1. Analysis of Market Influencing Factors
Cost side support: The rise in scrap steel prices (daily increase of 30-50 yuan/ton), coupled with a slight increase in black series futures, provides support for steel pipe production costs.
Changes in demand structure: Traditional real estate demand is weak, but industrial projects such as photovoltaics and new energy equipment are driving a rebound in demand for high value-added seamless pipes.
Inventory and Supply: Spot steel inventory decreased by 5.9% month on month, and the market is in a weakly balanced state, with significant bargaining space for some tight specifications.
2. There is a significant price difference between the region and the brand
East China region: The high cost of pipe blanks has driven the price of seamless pipes to be relatively strong. For example, the quoted price for Changzhou Dongfang hot-rolled pipe billets is 3480 yuan/ton, which is higher than North China Xintian Steel's 3220 yuan/ton.
Market in Chengdu, Sichuan: Mainstream specifications have stable prices, but there is an upward trend for large-diameter or special material products. The quoted price for a diameter of 325 × 8mm is 4260-4440 yuan/ton, and for Q355B alloy pipes with a diameter of 426 × 12mm, it can even be quoted as 4980 yuan/ton.
Jiangxi Coal Industry Procurement Information: Seamless steel pipes were purchased on March 9th, with specifications ranging from Φ 219, Φ 273, and Φ 325, reflecting the continuous demand for large-diameter steel pipes in the industrial sector.

According to the data on March 3rd, the average price in 21 major markets across the country was 4203 yuan/ton, an increase of 1 yuan/ton from the previous day.
