Abstract:

Taking Pan Yangtze River Delta (PYRD) as an example, this paper focuses on analyzing structural transformation and pattern evolution process of steel industry and the main influential factors. The results show that in PYRD the scale of steel industry has expanded rapidly and the product quality and industrial organization method have been improved constantly; and the industrial concentration degree has presented the trend of rise first and then drop but the concentration degrees of pig iron and crude steel are much higher than that of finished steel product. Jiangsu has become the province enjoying the highest concentration degree of steel industry, displacing Shanghai. Market demand, port location, technical level, enterprise strategy, and policy condition have become the major factors affecting the spatial layout of steel industry.

Key words: steel industry, structural transformation, spatial pattern, influential factor, Pan Yangtze River Delta region (PYRD)
