*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Escalating Middle East conflict threatens global steelmaking costs through energy volatility and supply chain disruption. While traditional steel producers face ~2% cost increases, gas-based DRI-EAF steelmakers critical to green steel transition could see 4-5% cost spikes. The conflict threatens the Middle East's emerging role as a DRI export hub and exposes the vulnerability of decarbonization pathways to geopolitical turbulence.
