Global crude steel production increased by 6.8% in 2011 to 1.53 billion tons
According to the statistics of worldsteel, the crude steel output of 64 major steel producing countries and regions in the world in December 2011 was 117 million tons, an increase of 1.7%. In December, the global average daily production of crude steel was 3.776 million tons, down 1.8% from the previous month, the lowest level in 2011. In December, EU-27 crude steel output was 12.54 million tons, down 0.8% year-on-year; CIS production was 9.32 million tons, up 1.2% year-on-year; North American production was 10.13 million tons, up 9.6% year-on-year; South American production was 3.8 million tons , a year-on-year increase of 10.3%; African production of 1.2 million tons, an increase of 1.9%; Middle East production of 1.72 million tons, an increase of 3.6%; Asian production of 74.58 million tons, an increase of 0.7%. The statistics also show that in 2011, the total output of crude steel in 64 major steel producing countries and regions was 1.49 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.8%, slightly higher than the author's 2010 forecast (1.484 billion tons). The EU in 2011 27 countries' crude steel output was 177 million tons, up 2.8% year-on-year; CIS production was 112 million tons, up 4.0% year-on-year; North American production was 119 million tons, up 6.8% year-on-year; South American production was 48.36 million tons, up year-on-year 10.2%; Africa's output was 13.97 million tons, down 14.1% year-on-year; Middle East production was 20.33 million tons, up 7.1% year-on-year; Asian production was 954 million tons, up 7.9% year-on-year. The International Steel Association estimates that global crude steel production in 2011 was 1.527 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.8%, a record high. As the world's largest steel producer, China's crude steel output in 2011 was 695.5 million tons, up 8.9% year-on-year, accounting for 45.5% of the world's total crude steel production, and 44.7% in 2010. Japan is the second steel producer with a production of 107.6 million tons, down 1.8% year-on-year. The third steel producing country was the United States, with a production of 86.2 million tons, an increase of 7.1% year-on-year. Combining the various agencies' forecasts for global economic growth in 2012, I expect global steel demand to increase by 4.5% to 1.46 billion tons in 2012. In 2012, the inventory pressure in the global circulation sector is not large, but in view of the decline in economic growth, the inventory of the circulation will still decline slightly, so the global crude steel production growth rate will be slightly lower than the demand growth rate, it is expected that 64 countries and regions Production will increase by 4.4% to 1.56 billion tons, and global production will increase to 1.594 billion tons.
