Steel Long Products Quarterly Wire Rod
2010 March issue
North America

The wire rod market in North America saw unprecedented deterioration in 2009, and a recovery of sorts will take years to regain some semblance of pre-recession normalcy. But with consumption rising in both Q3 and Q4 quarter-on-quarter last year, conditions are undoubtedly starting to improve. Automotive production is up largely on year-ago levels, and JD Power estimates suggest that 2010 car assemblies in North American could rise by 22%. In the meantime, construction activity sees a bleak forecast this year, and while it has been announced that the bulk of stimulus money will be released by the end of the third quarter, we find it unlikely that this will create any real surge in demand. It is far more likely that construction driven demand will climb slowly but steadily throughout the next couple of years, rising to 2008 levels once again by 2013/2014.
