Sector Highlights
Global position
China is the world's leader in both production and consumption of most major metals, including steel, aluminum, copper, lead and zinc, for each of
which it accounts for between a third and half of the world market. However the countrys shift from an investment-driven to a consumption-driven
economy has resulted in mounting pressure on the heavy industry, with the metal processing sector facing an increasing number of challenges.
Challenges
Besides the countrys shift away from investment as a main growth driver, the slowdown in global demand and falling product prices
coupled with rising labour costs have eaten into the industrys profitability, further aggravated by structural overcapacity and fierce
competition between market players.
Consolidation
Beijing has long been trying to push forward the process of sector consolidation through mergers and acquisitions in order to tackle the overcapacity problems and
achieve a better efficiency and competitive power of industry leaders. While such efforts have met much resistance in recent years, efforts by the central
government have proceeded with a renewed strength. Most recently, the government has announced plans for consolidating the rare earth metal industry into six
large conglomerates. China has also set a goal that the top 10 steel producers control 60% of the market by 2025.
Tight Credit
Enterprises in the sector have been facing tighter credit conditions over the last year following an alleged scam in the port of Qingdao which
resulted in claims for more than USD 1bn. As a result, leading banks have enforced stricter control, higher collateral requirements and more
stringent credit approval procedures. The new situation is expected to further push smaller players to merge with bigger companies.
Main players
In spite of the difficult times, the metal sector has retained a strong presence among China's Top 500 listed enterprises of Fortune China for 2014
with 59 companies among the biggest 500, a number unchanged from 2013 and up from 57 in 2012. This is a higher number of companies than
any other industry in the country, with the machine manufacturing and real estate industries sharing the second position in 2014 with 40 companies
each.

Comments
The metal processing sector revenues have grown for a fifth year in a row in 2014, yet the growth rate has been slowing down for a forth
consecutive year. Oversupply woes, falling prices and rising costs have weighed on the sectors overall performance. Meanwhile aggregate
profits have grown for the first time since 2011 amid a trend of major companies spinning off their losing assets and expanding into other
businesses.

Comments
The growth of production is steadily outperforming that of consumption thus causing a persistent accumulation of surplus in the sector, in a
trend that will hardly be reversed in the short to medium term. Therefore, producers continue seeking new channels to access foreign markets
for their production. However, when trying to expand their market abroad, Chinese companies are often accused of dumping and suffer from
import tariffs, which constitutes a serious risk as far as future exports are concerned.
The weakening of Chinas currency over 2014 is partially responsible for the accelerated exports growth throughout that year.

Comments
While investment growth has been slowing down over the last two years, it has stayed on the positive side in all three major segments of the
industry. Mills are scrapping their outdated equipment in compliance with Beijings environmental campaign, but the addition of new capacity
was put on hold, since metal giants often play a key role in local economies and regional governments often favour their development and
disregard what problems they cause.
In 2014, FAI growth has been unevenly distributed among the subsectors as metal products FAI have grown by 21.2% annually, non-ferrous
metals FAI by 5.6%, while that of the ferrous metals segment dropped by 5.4%.

Comments
Reduction of inefficient capacity across the industry is expected to bring about some major challenges to the labour market which is a serious
concern for local governments. Falling product prices and Beijings consolidation push are likely to further aggravate the employment situation
in the industry.
The total number of employees of the top ten listed employers in the sector fell to some 413 thousand in 2014 from 424 in the previous year,
or a drop of about 2.7%. Aluminum Corporation of China Ltd. had the largest scaling down of staff with employee numbers lower by about
7,800 than 2013.

Comments
Tightened liquidity, high stock levels and fierce competition have been pushing down prices in the sector, especially in the steel segment. Steel
prices have been falling almost incessantly since early 2013, reaching their lowest levels for the past twelve months in December 2014. Some
upward pressure has been seen in early 2015 from rising raw material costs but no sizable recovery is expected anytime in the near future.

Government Policy
Industry
Plans
China is preparing a series of development plans for the different subsectors of the industry in the near future. A new Iron
and Steel Industry Restructuring and Development Action Plan for 2015-2017 is expected in June 2015 which is mulled to
involve the scrapping of 80 million tonnes of outdated capacity to relieve oversupply, while the number of steel producing
companies is to be brought down from 500 to 300.
Another similar plan, for the non-ferrous metal industry development for the 2016-2020 period is also expected to be
released soon, but no details have been disclosed yet.
In May 2015, a plan for the rare earth metals industry was approved which aimed at consolidating the segment into 6 large
state-owned enterprises before the end of 2016, down from the current approximately 100 companies.
Going Global
The Going Global initiative which the Chinese government has been implementing since the turn of the century is headed
towards its next stage as Beijing would like to boost local companies presence in overseas markets. Steps in this direction
include the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, aiming to revive the ancient trading routes,
connecting Asia and Europe. These initiatives involve the construction of large-scale infrastructure projects, mostly ports
and railway facilities, with Chinese companies playing the main role in the construction process. The initiatives are
expected to open new markets for China's metal product manufacturers and help relieve the oversupply glut, experienced
by them at home.
Environment
In January 2015, a new environment protection law came into force. The law strengthened environmental legislation and
put a pressure on manufacturers in the metal processing industry to upgrade their facilities under the threat of severe
sanctions. Industry experts have estimated the cost of such upgrades at around RMB 160 per tonne of steel produced.
In March 2015, the industry ministry released a list of priorities for industrial conservation and integrated utilisation of
energies in 2015 with a special focus on industrial water conservation, a policy which is to have a major impact on metal
manufacturers in the country.

Global Share
Between 2000 and 2014, China more than tripled its share of global steel output, becoming the biggest producer in
the world. The country accounted for 49.5% of total output in 2014, up from 15% at the turn of the century, although
marginally lower than the 2013 figure of 49.7%. According to OECD calculations, China is to contribute around 40%
of the global growth in the steelmaking industry in the period between 2012 and 2015.
Policy Shift
For years, China had been producing steel at levels far exceeding demand, thus creating a supply glut. Companies
were forced to export at lower prices, thus doing harm to the global competitors and reducing profitability in the
sector. Current excess capacity is estimated at around 300 million tonnes. However, in line with the current
governments course towards slower, more sustainable rates of development and bigger concern for the
environment, Beijing has started to shift away from its former policy of supporting high steel production, often by
means of generous subsidies for steelmakers. The government has recently given signals that it was aware of the
unsustainability of the current situation and was planning to reduce excess capacity while implementing more
strenuous regulations.
Going Out
While producing a significant share of global steel, the local industry has so far not been too successful in
establishing a stronger presence abroad. This, however, is probably going to start gradually changing in the near
future as a number of local companies has already begun building steel projects in countries like South Africa, Chile,
Indonesia and Thailand, among others. Projects, related to the One Belt One Road initiative are likely to support
steel exports over the next few years. At the same time, Chinese regulators are rumoured to be preparing an
amendment which would allow foreign investments in the local steel industry.

The 1.7% drop in revenues in 2014 was the first one since 2009 and only the second one since the beginning of the century.
Industrial output has suffered from oversupply in the recent years and has flattened out, with industry watchers expecting the trend to
continue for at least a few more years.

Comments
Despite of the poor recent performance, a number of factors are to positively influence the industrys development, including the ongoing
urbanisation and the rising demand for machinery, appliances and automobiles, as well as a significant number of infrastructure projects which
the government has already initiated. Environmental regulations and overcapacity woes are to continue weighing on growth rates in the short
to medium term.
According to industry giant Baosteel, China's total crude steel capacity will reach 1.19 billion mt/year by end-2015, rising by 2.5% annually,
with capacity utilisation at about 71%.

III. Non-ferrous Metal Smelting and Pressing

- 21 -
Development
Not unlike the ferrous sector, nonferrous metal manufacturers have suffered from slower demand as the macro
economy has aligned with the new normal development course set by the government, growing at slower rates
than the ones experienced in previous decades and real estate, infrastructure and manufacturing capacity have
stalled. The industry has received some government support by means of increased subsidies, but is still looking for
more sustainable mid- to long-term drivers.
Prices
Prices of nonferrous metals have stayed at low historical levels due to the subdued global demand and the
oversupply from Chinese producers. In 2014, spot prices of copper, aluminum and lead lost respectively 6.8%,
5.2%, 3.9% and 0.5% respectively, while zinc gained 12.8% vs. 2013.
M&A
Amid the ongoing consolidation trend, merger and acquisition deals have become increasingly frequent in the
subsector. According to Xinhua news agency, for the first three quarters of 2014, 32 out of the 93 listed nonferous
companies have resorted to M&A, either by direct participation or by taking part in different funds for this purpose.
Opening Up
The National Development and Reform Commission introduced new regulations in April 2015 which removed the
restrictions on foreign investments in copper, aluminum, lead and zinc smelting. However, restrictions on the
smelting of tungsten, molybdenum, tin, antimony and rare earths are still in place, while mining of tungsten,
molybdenum, tin, antimony and rare earths is altogether forbidden for foreign investors.

Aluminum Highlights
Development
The country is the global leader in both production and consumption as it currently produces about half of the total
global primary aluminum output. China accounted for 119 out of the 133 aluminum smelters built in the world
between 1985 and 2005. However, the segment has been one of the worst performers in the economy in the recent
quarters.
Capacity
Chinese companies have been particularly active in adding new capacitiy since the middle of 2014. According to the
Antaike network, total capacity is to reach 40 million tonnes in 2015, up from 35.64 million for 2014, the latter of
which represented an annual growth of 12.7%.
Expansion
About half of newly added capacity in 2014, or some 2 mn tonnes output, was built in the Xinjiang region, which
made it the fastest growing region in the country. In 2015, a smaller figure of 0.5 million tonnes of new capacity is to
be completed there.

Comments
No drastic change is expected in the segments overcapacity situation over the next few years as rising demand for automobiles and other
aluminum-related goods is unlikely to offset the increase in supply.
A CAGR of 7.5% is expected over the forecast period.
The shift towards the western part of the country is to intensify further yet as energy, which constitutes a large proportion of aluminum
production cost, is much more affordable in the less developed regions in that part of China.

Copper Highlights
Global Role
With a 43% share, China was the worlds leading consumer of refined copper in 2013. It was also the second largest
producer of mined copper for the same year with 10% of global total, only behind Chile with 31%.
Slower
investments
A total of 196 copper smelting facilities were under construction in China in 2014 with total investments equal to
RMB 23.2bn, down 3.6% from the previous year. Overall investments in the segment fell by 11.9% to RMB 46.3 bn.
Perspectives
BMI Research expects copper output to grow by an average rate of 2.5% annually until 2019, reaching a level of
1.84 mn tonnes. That would be comparable to an annual growth of 8.4% over the last decade. Low product prices
are expected to result in a number of closures of low-level producers, but a weaker RMB versus the USD is likely to
bring down production costs for Chinese players.

Aluminum Corporation of China Ltd. (cont'd)

Revenues by Business, in RMB mn
Highlights
The output of alumina in 2014 amounted to 12.02 million
tonnes, representing an annual decrease of 1%, the
output of alumina chemicals amounted to 1.82 million
tonnes, representing an annual increase of 5.81%, and
the output of primary aluminum products amounted to
3.38 million tonnes.
In May 2015, the company's parent group announced plans
to set up two financial arms with a total capital of RMB
2.8bn to facilitate its financial business and help it deal with
the losses suffered in recent years.
Meanwhile, CHALCO has also started spinning off some of
its non-core assets in order to reduce losses. In December
it announced that it would be selling three fully-owned
companies as well as one 72%-owned and one 27%owned. The subsidiaries in question were engaged in
silicon metal, photovoltaic materials and polysilicon
production.
In August 2014 CHALCO was approved by the government
to integrate rare earth enterprises in the provinces of
Guangxi, Jiangsu, Shandong and Sichuan to its wholly
owned subsidiary China Rare-earth Corp. In early 2015 it
also formed a coalition with eleven other local smelters
aiming to boost local aluminium prices.
Recently, the Company was hit by a corruption scandal as
its general manager Sun Zhaoxue was charged with
soliciting and accepting bribes and was dismissed from his
senior position at the Communist Party of China. In another
major change in management, chairman Xiong Weiping
was replaced by former Chengdu mayor Ge Honglin.
