The metallic stearates are defined as the metal salts of an 18-carbon chain fatty acid stearic acid. The global metallic stearates market has been segmented based on product, application, and region. In terms of product, the market has been categorized into five major segments, including zinc stearate, calcium stearate, aluminum stearate, magnesium stearate, and others. Zinc stearate is produced using Zn-salts such as ZnO, ZnCl2, and ZnSO4. Oxides, hydroxides, sulfate, and chloride salts of aluminum, magnesium, and calcium react with stearic acid to produce the respective salts. The others product scope includes nickel stearate, copper stearate, lithium stearate, and sodium stearate.

The Indian steel industry contributes around 2% of the country GDP and employs some 500,000 people directly and about 2mn indirectly. The Indian government sees the steel sector as strategically important and as a foundation for rapid industrial development. According to the Ministry of Steel, the steel industry has an output multiplier effect of nearly 1.4 on GDP, and an employment multiplier factor of 6.8. The sector has taken advantage of the country’s abundance of iron ore reserves, its cheap but qualified labour force, and government support policies. As a result, India is close to becoming the second-largest crude steel producer after China, outpacing Japan. In FY2017, India became a net exporter of iron and steel, in both volume and value terms, as local companies ramped up production.

钢铁下游需求主要来自于建筑（包括地产和基建）、机械、汽车等。根据2017 年冶金工业规划研究院发布的钢材存量结构计算，建筑、机械、汽车等这三类终端占比分别达53%、19%和8%，合计达80%，其中以房地产、基建为代表的建筑领域是主要的钢需终端、最主要的弹性来源。通常我们以房地产开发投资增速（辅之以新开工面积、房地产销售面积等指标）作为房地产钢需的跟踪指标，以基础设施建设投资增速来反应基建钢需，以制造业固定资产投资增速来跟踪机械等制造业领域的钢需状况，2013~2017 年房地产开发、基础设施建设和制造业投资占固定资产投资比重达75%左右，因此采用固定资产投资作为反应钢需总量指标具有指导意义。

临时限产+常态化机制相结合：近期常州、徐州等地日趋严厉的环保限产政策以及相关政府部门对10省（区）的环保督察再次引起行业关注。上半年以唐山为代表的错峰生产方案业已标志着我国对敏感区域已经建立了常态化环保限产机制，而特定时段、特定地区的临时性限产后面或许也会更加频繁，我们预计下半年尤其是采暖季环保限产仍然成为扰动行业供给的最重要因素。
