Publications

Once a year, usually in May/June, worldsteel publishes World Steel in Figures, a booklet containing preliminary facts and statistics about the global steel industry in the year preceding its publication.

Subsequently, usually in early December, worldsteel releases the annual Steel Statistical Yearbook, a publication containing an updated set of steel industry statistics on a cross-section of areas, including crude steel production by process, steel production by product, steel trade by product, apparent steel use, trade and production of iron ore. This publication is available for purchase (see details here).

 

An online version of this publication featuring the main indicators is available on this website.

worldsteel produces reports and working papers on global indirect trade in steel (click here). There is also a comprehensive version with a fee. Click here for more information.

Steel Data Viewer

The Steel Data Viewer provides crude steel production data which is updated on a monthly basis.

Updates and revisions

The current year’s crude steel production statistics tables on worldsteel.org are updated every month. In any given month, several countries’ data will be estimated due to the cut-off date for publication. Not all the reporting institutions can consistently provide the latest monthly figures before the 25th.

The reporting institutions frequently update their statistics. It is common for countries and companies to adjust production figures throughout the year. worldsteel does not provide a daily update of the latest figures. The tables shown on worldsteel.org are a ‘snapshot’ of the production statistics as they have been reported at the time of issue, plus any revisions.

The tables do not show a running total. However, in January, an ‘annual total’ figure is published. This total is not the sum of the monthly statistics from January to December because the annual figure is calculated by the reporting institution, including any numbers that may have been changed at source, but not published on worldsteel.org.

Not all steel-producing countries are represented in the monthly table. There are 63 countries that report their production statistics on a monthly basis and approximately 30 that report only annual figures. Further countries issue quarterly statistics, from which monthly figures are estimated.

Annual and year-to-date totals may include revised data not available on a monthly basis.

Short Range Outlook

In April and October, worldsteel announces its Short Range Outlook (SRO), a forecast for steel demand (finished steel). The April SRO looks seven quarters ahead and the October SRO, which is announced at worldsteel’s General Assembly, looks five quarters ahead.

The most recent SRO is published on this website here.
