The global steel industry is a major contributor to the world economy, and a strong indicator of its health. Overall it is worth around $900 billion a year. [1]
In the first three months of 2017, global steel output reached 410.5 million tonnes, an increase of 5.7% over the same period in 2016. Global steel consumption grew by 1.3% in 2016, to 1,600 million tonnes. Much of this growth was powered by China, where demand has recovered due to government incentives for manufacturing.[2]
The highly geographically distributed producers within the industry need to meet this global demand while maintaining their profit margins.
