The Reasons for the Price Changes of Anchorage Raw Materials in May and June

Due to the influence of the overall market environment, the prices of raw materials such as prestressed steel wires and steel strands have generally risen recently, and the prices of anchorages, as supporting products, have also fluctuated accordingly.

As a professional supplier of prestressed products, we have sorted out and analyzed the reasons behind the current price changes and market trends for your reference. Feel free to contact us anytime if you need the specific quotation of anchorages.

I. Reasons for Price Changes

Key summary: The increase in costs combined with the balance between supply and demand led to a slight rise in prices at first, followed by a narrow range of fluctuations at a high level.

Anchorages are mainly manufactured from 45# carbon structural round steel and 20CrMnTi alloy structural steel. Raw materials account for a large proportion of the total cost, so their market prices directly determine the selling price. From May to June 2026, the raw material prices for anchorages went up slightly and have since stayed high with minor fluctuations.

Rising prices of coke, iron ore and alloy materials have pushed up smelting costs, forming a strong support for steel prices. Meanwhile, many domestic special steel manufacturers have suspended production for maintenance in phases. Coupled with the widely adopted long-term pricing contracts in the industry, the volume of circulating goods in the market is relatively tight.

At present, it is the traditional off-season for the construction industry. However, domestic infrastructure demand remains stable, and overseas orders provide support. The overall inventory of the industry is within a reasonable range. Therefore, there is no significant room for price fluctuations for the time being.

II. Impacts on Import & Export Business

The high prices of raw materials have brought a dual impact on the export business of anchorages.

The continuous rise in costs keeps squeezing profit margins, and the pressure to adjust external quotations is increasing. At present, overseas customers have a strong wait-and-see attitude. Most of them choose to purchase in small quantities and batches, and large orders have decreased.

Fortunately, thanks to our long-term stable overseas partnerships and ongoing infrastructure projects in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other regions, export demand remains resilient with no obvious drop in orders.

At present, all export enterprises in the industry are increasing the proportion of long-term contract orders to lock in the purchase prices of raw materials and the selling prices of products in advance, thereby hedging against market fluctuations. In addition, we flexibly adjust quotations and delivery cycles according to the price sensitivity of customers in different regions, striking a balance between cost control and market competitiveness.
