Abstract
ABSTRACT
“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes - Mark Twain”。
Construction industry is one of the largest industries in the world, it is accounting for GDP13.4% of worldwide economic output value, around 7.5 trillion U.S. dollars (WSA 2013). Meanwhile, the amount of steel construction industry consumes more than 50% of the world''s steel production. Structural steel industry is not only one of correlation industry of steel & iron industry, and also an extremely important element of the construction industry. Structural steel industrial is key nexus led the development of other related industries, and is a labour, technology, capital-intensive industries, the importance of Taiwan''s structural steel industry in the construction industry can not be understated.
Structural steel annual consuming is around 34 million tonnes in Taiwan in year 2013, accounting for about 5.0 ~ 7.5 percent of Taiwan''s total steel production proportion. Compare with Europe and Japan and other advanced countries (the 30% ~ 40% of total steel production proportion in 2010), there is still a considerable of the gap. Even if since the 921 earthquake, steel structural been utilized in residential buildings increased significantly, however, structural steel production capacity in Taiwan is still far greater than the market demand. The global steel demand will increase rapidly along with some significantly important developing countries which account for over 40% of the world''s population, e.g. China, India and ASEAN. With the development of these regions as well as the higher urbanization, more demands of the public infrastructure and higher quality residential buildings will lead their construction industry into the peak period of development. Output in those regions or countries to GDP will be higher and caused more structural steel consuming.
Taiwan''s steel industry should strive to actively seek opportunities to restructuring from domestic-oriented industries as a competitive and foreign demand industry, or go to the market to set up manufacturing and logistics centre, grow and thrive as an international enterprise.
Would like to take this research, through data collection and statistical to complete the Porter’s five-forces analysis and SWOT Strategy Analysis Matrix, provide Taiwan''s construction steel producer /industry some competitive consideration and with more in-depth understanding of the object.
