The Crude Steel Quarterly will help you and your company plot a way through this minefield by providing clear projections and an unrivalled data source. The report will address such questions as:

• Which countries are hardest hit by the downturn?
• How much excess steelmaking capacity exists?
• How long will it take for excess capacity to be absorbed so that investment can take off again?
• Which steelmaking technology will be hardest hit by the downturn and what are the implications for raw materials demand?

Discover how the answers to all these questions will affect your business.

This report provides regular and detailed analysis, forecasts and information on expanding iron and steel capacity. It details:

• The latest production trends and explains the key production drivers.
• How and why output trends differ for the main producing countries and regions.
• A full breakdown of iron and steel production, by process, on a country-by-country basis.

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

A complete plant-by-plant breakdown of existing iron and steel capacity for all countries is provided. Along with news on any planned capacity changes, including our assessment as to whether specific projects are committed, probable or possible.

Comprehensive coverage

This report provides:

• Historical and forecast (five years) production of iron and steel production on a country-by-country basis.
• A full country-by-country breakdown of iron production (hot metal and DRI/HBI) and steel output (BOF and EAF).
• Key written and graphical analysis of global production trends.
• A comprehensive plant-by-plant database of iron (hot metal and DRI) and steel (BOF and EAF) capacity.
• A full listing of planned capacity changes on a plant-by-plant basis including our assessment of their current status.
