Crude Steel Quarterly
2008 October Issue
Global Overview
Sentiment in the steel industry has altered radically since our previous report in July.  Back then prices were reaching a peak and expected to retreat from record levels. However, the decline has turned into a collapse as demand has plummeted amid the dramatic collapse in global financial markets and a distinct deterioration in market  fundamentals.
Crude Steel Quarterly - DRI, Hot Metal and Crude Steel


CRU’s Crude Steel Quarterly provides regular, detailed analysis of trends in global iron and steel production and capacity. Every three months we detail the latest production trends putting them into context and explaining the key production drivers. Individual analysis explains how and why output trends differ for the main producing countries and regions while our comprehensive statistical analysis provides a full breakdown of iron and steel production (by process) on a country-by-country basis.

Understand the future

Our rigorous forecasting service explains the key factors likely to drive production over the medium term (five years). Once again, a full country-by-country breakdown is given for all countries while the key implications for suppliers of steelmaking raw materials are examined.

The quarterly also provides a complete plant-by-plant breakdown of existing iron and steel capacity for all countries. Furthermore, this truly comprehensive report also details all known plans to expand iron and steel capacity including our assessment as to whether specific projects are committed, probable or possible.
