Notes to Editors:
The World Steel Association (worldsteel) is one of the largest and most dynamic industry associations in the world, with members in every major steel-producing country. worldsteel represents steel producers, national and regional steel industry associations, and steel research institutes. Members represent around 85% of global steel production.
worldsteel makes a limited set of data available free of charge via the Steel Data Viewer. A subscription with access to the iron and crude steel production data for all other countries is available for €1,485 via the worldsteel bookshop. This subscription includes access to 20 years of data in the Steel Statistical Yearbook. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
Information on capacity can be found on the OECD website.
