The steel industry can break the development dilemma through the integration with the digital economy，seize the opportunities of the times，start from the construction of top-level design and organizational support，strengthen the construction of “digital-real” integrated infrastructure，on the one hand，promote the digital transformation of key links such as production and manufacturing，supply chain management，etc.，improve the economic efficiency of the industry，and achieve core technological breakthroughs，on the other hand，actively develop a digital industry rooted in the steel industry，and penetrate the digital industry to other process manufacturing industries to build new advantages for the development of the steel industry. The integration of the steel industry and the digital economy has brought new characteristics to the steel industry，but the deep integration of the two still faces many obstacles，and the government，industry and enterprises need to make efforts to achieve the goal of deep integration and create a more competitive steel industry.
