What Chinatsi.com does

Chinatsi.com (钢铁产业网), operated by Hebei TangSong Big Data Industry Co., Ltd. (河北唐宋大数据产业股份有限公司), is a B2B information services platform serving the Chinese steel and related commodities market. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Tangshan, Hebei Province, the company is listed on China's National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ) under ticker 837780. Its core offering is a portfolio of proprietary price indices — including the TangSong Strip Steel Price Index (唐宋带钢价格指数, reading 3120 as of August 2026), TangSong Steel Billet Price Index (唐宋钢坯价格指数, reading 2940), and Jinnan Steel Price Index (晋南钢铁价格指数) — that publish daily benchmark prices across rebar, wire rod, strip steel, plates, profiles, pipes, steel scrap, steel billet, iron ore, coal, and coke, with regional coverage spanning Tangshan, Handan, Shenyang, Hangzhou, Hefei, Nanchang, Jinan, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Guangzhou, Nanning, Chengdu, and other major Chinese cities.

The platform is built as an integrated ecosystem of interconnected modules: daily industry news and Tang Street Journal (唐尔街日报) commentary, subscription research reports, a National Base Price service, an Enterprise Quotation marketplace, a Black Metal Futures Adjustment tool, production operating rate data, and the TangSong Steel mobile app, supported by a dedicated enterprise Data Market portal at vote.chinatsi.net. Underlying technology is price index calculation and aggregation rather than AI or machine learning.

Chinatsi.com operates a subscription-based recurring revenue model, monetizing premium access to real-time price indices, market data, research reports, and analytical content. Primary customers are steel trading companies and steel mills/manufacturers; secondary segments include upstream raw material suppliers (iron ore, coal, coke) and downstream manufacturing and construction users. Distribution is primarily self-serve through the web portal and mobile app, reinforced by institutional partnerships with the China Iron and Steel Association, China Coke Industry Association, China Scrap Steel Application Association, the National Federation of Metallurgical Chamber of Commerce, and data partnerships with major Chinese steel groups including HBIS, Ansteel, Jianlong, Shaanxi Steel, and Nanjing Steel.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group / Refinitiv): Global financial markets infrastructure and data provider (formerly Refinitiv). Comparable in providing commodity price data, news, and analytics to industrial and financial subscribers, with much broader scope but overlapping coverage of ferrous markets.
• S&P Global Commodity Insights (formerly Platts): Global commodity price reporting agency and benchmark publisher serving energy, metals, and agricultural markets. Comparable in business model — proprietary indices, subscription data, and industry reports — but operates at much larger global scale across multiple commodities including steel.
• Fastmarkets: Global commodity price reporting agency covering steel, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and raw materials. Closely analogous business model with proprietary benchmark prices, subscription data feeds, and industry intelligence, operating at significantly larger international scale.
• Wood Mackenzie: Global research and consultancy firm covering metals, mining, and energy markets. Comparable in providing subscription-based commodity intelligence and price benchmarks, though oriented more toward long-horizon research than daily spot pricing.
• Argus Media: Independent commodity price reporting agency covering metals, energy, and fertilizers. Directly comparable as a subscription-based price-index publisher serving industrial commodity markets, with broader international footprint than Chinatsi.com.
• Bloomberg: Global financial data and news provider covering commodity markets including steel. Indirect competitor through its commodity data terminals and news services that partially overlap with Chinatsi's enterprise intelligence offerings, serving a similar institutional customer base.

Regional players

• Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE): Chinese commodity futures exchange listing steel-related contracts (rebar, wire rod, stainless steel). Not a direct competitor but a primary source of futures pricing data that Chinatsi's 'Black Metal Futures Adjustment' product depends on, and a potential disruptor if it expands its proprietary indices or data services.

Direct peers

• Mysteel (Shanghai Ganglian / 我的钢铁网): China's leading commodity information services platform, focused on steel and related raw materials. Direct head-to-head competitor to Chinatsi.com, offering price indices, market intelligence, and subscription data products to the same Chinese steel industry customer base.
