Factors Influencing SS 304 Plate Rate Per KG

• Raw Materials: Nickel and chromium costs drive ~60% of pricing; nickel rose 5% in Q3 2025.
• Demand-Supply: Soft in 300 series (e.g., construction delays) but stronger in automotive; EU import controls may tighten.
• Thickness & Finish: Thinner plates like plat SS 304 3mm or plate 2 mm SUS 304 cost less (~$1.50/kg) than heavy plates.
• Certifications: ASME SA 240 304 ensures pressure-vessel compliance, adding 5-10% value over generic SS 304.
• Market Trends: Global tariffs and restocking support resilience, but Asia oversupply tempers rises. Year-over-year down 10.5%, with potential H2 rebound.
