GMK Center has published «Global Steel Consumption in 2025: key findings and forecasts» report

Regional trade barriers and protective tariffs have permanently reshaped the global steel supply map in 2025. Amid unprecedented volatility, the global steel market no longer moves as a unified front; the era of localized strategies has arrived.

While some countries are striving to save domestic production by imposing protective tariffs, others are stimulating domestic demand for steel through budget programs and fiscal incentives. At the same time, nearly all are becoming hostages to macroeconomic crises.

GMK Center has prepared a collection of materials titled “Global Steel Consumption 2025: Key Findings and Forecasts,” which can be viewed and downloaded via the link.

In this collection, we have compiled a series of articles that reflect the real situation in key global markets. We hope it will help traders, industrial market analysts, and steel industry executives gain a complete picture of the fragmentation of the global steel market and the crisis facing traditional industrial centers.

List of articles in this collection:

  • Steel consumption in China: a downward trend.
  • Steel consumption in India: the first warning sign?
  • Steel consumption in the U.S.: major upheavals.
  • Steel consumption in Turkey: an upward trend.
  • Steel consumption in Germany: a gradual slowdown.
  • Steel consumption in Italy: in the grip of the crisis.
