Policy environment's impact on the industry

Environmental policies are a key driver for the development of aluminum-zinc coated sheets. The EU's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires new buildings to achieve near-zero energy consumption, spurring the demand for energy-saving materials like aluminum-zinc coated sheets; under China's "Dual Carbon" goals, the green building material certification system accelerates the phase-out of high-pollution products, with aluminum-zinc coated sheets benefiting from policy support due to their low-carbon characteristics. Additionally, trade policies (such as taxes) impact market structures: In 2021, the EU imposed taxes on Chinese aluminum-zinc coated sheets, prompting domestic companies to shift towards emerging markets in Southeast Asia and Africa. Companies need to closely monitor policy changes and manage risks through technological innovation and compliant production.
