Recently, the 304 stainless steel wire rope mesh market has shown weakness, with sluggish downstream demand leading to sustained price declines. Affected by macroeconomic conditions, procurement willingness in some end-use industries has decreased, resulting in subdued market transactions. Most buyers are adopting a wait-and-see approach, anticipating further price adjustments, which has significantly reduced market activity. Some suppliers have slightly lowered quotations to alleviate inventory pressure, but overall transactions remain sluggish.
