Understand the latest company dynamics and industry information
Light steel joist prices range 1.5–4.0 per meter; for standard galvanized types, influenced by import markups and regional benchmarks like Australia; higher-end variants may reach 5.0+ per meter, with bulk orders securing 5–10% discounts ．
Import costs add 15–30% to base prices due to tariffs, freight expenses (e.g., CIF terms), and reliance on foreign suppliers; raw material volatility (e.g., steel coil prices) exacerbates pricing uncertainty．
Supply is almost entirely import-dependent, with China dominating over 90% of East Timor’s construction material imports; international brands like Longpai supply via agents, while local manufacturing capacity remains negligible ．
Demand is constrained by limited large-scale infrastructure, focusing on small public projects (e.g., schools, clinics) and residential builds; bilateral trade growth of 13.1% year-on-year suggests steady but modest market expansion ．
Import barriers: Customs delays and certification complexities (e.g., structural standards) disrupt shipments, with trade data indicating seasonal volatility．
Economic factors: Steel price fluctuations and competition from scrap alternatives (priced around $350–400/ton) pressure margins; export-import imbalances highlight dependency risks．
