The current FOB reference price of 1/8 inch thick A36 steel plate in the international market ranges from $460 to $560 per ton, which is in line with the mainstream industry market trends.
For small-batch purchases (1–50 tons), the quoted price is mostly $530–$560 per ton, while for bulk purchases (100 tons and above), preferential prices of $460–$500 per ton are available, meaning the larger the purchase volume, the higher the cost performance.
The price is affected by multiple factors: fluctuations in raw material prices will directly drive price adjustments; products with surface treatment such as sandblasting and painting or custom cutting services will see a 5%–10% price increase; genuine products with ASTM certification and original mill test reports (MTR) are priced slightly higher than ordinary ones.
In addition, exchange rate fluctuations and shipping terms will also have a slight impact on the final quoted price, and the validity period of the quotation is usually 7–15 days.
