STEEL STATISTICAL YEARBOOK 2018 - worldsteel.org

1 STEEL STATISTICAL YEARBOOK 2018. Preface This YEARBOOK presents a cross-section of STEEL industry statistics that are exchanged or published by the World STEEL Association. The co-operation of both members and non-members in supplying the information included in this publication is gratefully acknowledged. Further details of the STATISTICAL sources used are given in the Annex (p. 121). These contents were finalised in November 2018. Data are expressed in thousand metric tons unless stated otherwise. Zero indicates that the quantity concerned is less than 500 tonnes.

2 E' indicates a figure that has been estimated by the World STEEL Association. Totals comprise listed countries only. Trade data totals include intra-regional exports and imports. Three dots (..) indicate that an item of information was not available. World STEEL Association Economics Committee Contents Page Table 1 Total Production of Crude STEEL 1.
