    EUROPE STEEL MARKET

     

    KEY FINDINGS

    1. Global steel production overcapacity continues to be an ongoing risk to the entire steel industry, with the OECD estimating that global steel production overcapacity is currently approximately 500 million tons (2022), which is down slightly from previous years (2021). However, additional capacity continues to come online and China’s steel production, the largest steel-producing country, is still near record levels
    2. This growth is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for steel products in the construction and automotive sectors.
    3. There are a number of large and well-established steel producers in Europe, as well as a number of smaller and more specialized producers. This competition helps to keep prices low and quality high.
    4. The automotive sector is another major consumer of steel. The increasing demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the automotive sector in the coming years. Electric vehicles require more steel than traditional vehicles, so this is a positive trend for the steel market.
    5. The cost of raw materials used in steel production, such as iron ore and coal, has been rising in recent years. This is due to a number of factors, including supply chain disruptions, the war in Ukraine, and increasing demand from China. The rising cost of raw materials is making steel production more expensive and reducing the profitability of steel producers.
    6. Among all the processes used, Hot rolled steel holds the major share of 56% in 2022, and in general, this percentage remains almost the same every year. 
    7. Infra & Construction is the major market of the steel industry with a share of 30-40%, In 2021 it was 31%.
    8. Steel is in high demand for bridges, tunnels, rail track and in constructing buildings such as fueling stations, train stations, ports and airports. About 60% of steel use in this application is as rebar and the rest is sections, plates and rail track, Carbon Steel Is the most produced steel among all the Grades of Steel.
    9. The increase in the global automobile production is a major factor leading to the growth of the high strength steel market across the globe. The use of high strength steels for manufacturing body panels of automobiles increases their fuel efficiency by reducing their weight by approximately 60%. 

     

    EUROPE STEEL MARKET OVERVIEW

    Europe’s steel industry accounts for roughly 9% of global crude steel production. Europe is home for some of oldest and largest steel producing companies such as ArcelorMittal which produced 97.31 million tonnes in the year 2021 (according to the reports from world steel association).

    The production of crude steel remained stable despite shifting global market trends. Construction, automotive, and mechanical engineering are main consumer of Europe’s steel.

    Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon containing less than 2% and 1% manganese and small amounts of silicon, phosphorus, sulphur and oxygen. It is a known fact that world uses ample steel for construction products. Steel is most versatile industrial material, which is 100% recyclable.

    Most of steel in Europe is made of two basic routes:

    • The Blast Furnace-Basic Oxygen Furnace (BF-BOF)
    • The Electric Arc Furnace Route (EAF)

    After rapid rise of steel price across Europe (post lockdown) in the second half of 2020, sources have been voicing that there will be echo of situation in 2008.

    Due to COVID-19 lockdown measures across Europe in first half of 2020, many steel producing companies had to be idled their plants to balance the supply with declined demand. 

    When the measures been leaned, EAF based steel producers were quick in restarting their facilities, but BF-BOF remained shut for longer period.

    Under the EU Merger Regulation, the European Commission has prohibited Tata Steel and ThyssenKrupp from forming a joint venture. For different types of steel, the combination would have reduced competition and raised prices. To address these concerns, the parties did not provide effective remedies.

    These industries employ millions of people in Europe, and corporations rely on competitive steel costs to sell globally. The merger of Tata Steel and ThyssenKrupp would have resulted in higher prices if major competition issues had not been addressed. As a result, the merger was outlawed in order to protect European industrial clients and consumers.

     

    EUROPE STEEL MARKET RECENT LAUNCH

    JFE Steel Corporation and thyssenkrupp Steel Europe (tkSE), Germany’s largest steel producer, announced today the launch of new high-strength steel sheets capable of cold forming for the fabrication of vehicle frame components in the 980- and 1180MPa classes.

    When compared to standard high-tensile steel sheets, the products attain higher yield strength and ductility, particularly superior local ductility, resulting in lighter-weight automotive body frames and improved crash safety performance.

    By allowing customers to build complicated-shape components using standard cold forming rather than hot stamping, the new sheets are intended to assist boost productivity and cut manufacturing costs.

    High-strength steel, on the other hand, suffers from poor formability, which is why it’s been difficult to use high-strength steel to make complex automobile components.

    JFE and tkSE created their steel sheets with a new composition and microstructure that emphasises local ductility to address this obstacle.

    They also developed a new heat-treatment approach based on “quenching and partitioning,” a metallurgical procedure in which the austenite phase, which forms at high temperatures and contributes to ductility, is quenched and then reheated to assure room-temperature stability. These innovative goods and their manufacturing process combine a variety of intellectual rights from JFE and tkSE.
