304 stainless steel square tubes are made from 304 stainless steel coil (primarily composed of 18% chromium and 8% nickel), which accounts for over 70% of the total cost. In 2025, nickel prices fluctuated strongly due to global demand for renewable energy (average price of electrolytic nickel was approximately 140,000-160,000 yuan/ton). This, coupled with regional tightness in ferrochrome supply, led to a 5%-8% year-on-year increase in raw material prices, directly impacting the ex-factory price of square tubes.
