Stainless Steel Flat Products Quarterly
2010 February issue
A bright start to the year begins in Asia
  • For a third consecutive year, apparent flat-rolled consumption of stainless steel contracted in 2009 though a global decline of just 4.2% for hot-rolled (HR) and coldrolled (CR) flat product demand overall was certainly not so bad as had been feared. Nevertheless, the global trend clearly masked huge differences between regions: whilst Asian demand fully recovered the losses recorded in 2008 by rising over 11%, gains realised here were more than offset by over 27% reductions in Western Europe.
