Global Steel Mill Product Matrix

Where? What? How Much?

World Steel Dynamics (WSD) has created two studies to answer these questions and to provide special insights into the possible evolution of the steel industry in the years ahead. Core Report “Global Steel Mill Product Matrix”, which examines the historic evolution of semi and finished steel product markets for 80 countries and regions from 1985 to 2009.

Global steel demand collapsed in late-2008 and into 2009 as many capital outlay and construction projects were eliminated due to the financial crisis generated problems with credit, confidence, cash flows and the profit outlook. Industrial production slowed down in many parts of the world for fear of declining demand; for instance, U.S. automobile production fell more than 30%. Global apparent steel demand in 2009, on a year-to-year basis, declined about 7%, including a 24% fall in the Advanced Countries, a 20% decline in the Rest of the World (Developing World excluding China) and a 8% rise in China.

The report provides historic data by country and region, and by product, for apparent consumption, production, imports and exports. Product coverage includes:

• Flat-rolled products, including hot-rolled sheet, cold-rolled sheet, tinplate, galvanized sheet and other coated.
• Long products, including structurals, wire rod, rebar and bar.
• Other products, including rail and pipe/tube.

We consider these reports a must for steel producers, traders and users who are concerned with the marketing and availability of steel products. Global Steel Mill Product Matrix is priced at $4,000 to non-subscribers, or is included in an annual subscription to World Steel Dynamics.
