*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
What’s changed since our last report?
The primary change is that our long-term steel demand and production forecasts have been revised down from our Q1 data by around 2% or 30Mt – mostly due to the current weakness in the US, India and particularly Europe.
Fundamentally, we now think steel production in Europe, faced by high raw materials costs and environmental pressures, has entered a stage of stagnation and will eventually decline.
Why buy this report?
- Understand how policy developments will impact steel markets in the longer term. We discuss two main themes: trade restrictions and environmental concerns.

- Get detailed analysis on supply and demand in key regions.
You’ll get access to our complete data set with comprehensive information on steel demand, trade paterns, production and prices across China, India, Europe and the US. We also provide an inside view on Chinese steel capacity swaps. Scroll down for a list of the tables and charts you will receive.
