Crude Steel Production by Country, 2015-2025

About This Dataset

Crude Steel Production by Country, 2015-2025
China produces more crude steel than the rest of the world combined, and its output has continued to climb since 2015 despite repeated government efforts to cap capacity. India is the clear growth story, rising by more than 80 per cent over the decade to overtake Japan, whose production fell by almost a quarter as domestic demand and export markets both weakened. Vietnam's more than fourfold increase is the steepest rise on the list.
