Policy-supported driving effect
Governments around the world are driving the AZM industry with policy guidance: China includes AZM in the "Classification of Strategic Emerging Industries (2022)" and offers a 15% corporate income tax deduction to qualifying enterprises; the EU's "Green New Deal" plan provides a 30% cost reduction for construction projects using AZM materials; the U.S. "Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act" explicitly requires that federal-funded infrastructure projects must use steel with corrosion resistance above C5 standards, indirectly promoting the expansion of the AZM market. At the local level, Hebei Province has special policies granting a 50 yuan per-ton electricity price to AZM producers; Jiangsu Province lists AZM as a key development area in the "Material Cluster," supporting the construction of innovation centers.
