An econometric model of world trade in iron or and steel was developed to examine the impact on world supply, demand, trade, and prices due to prolonged growth in Chinese industrial production. The model - built in 1993 adequately predicted the phenomenal growth in production and prices that eventuated, and with appropriate updating would likely be useful for future research.
This book provides a basic guide to the iron and steel industry in a single convenient reference source. The origins of steel and its manufacture are explained first, with a basic outline of the principal steel grades. The author then goes on to look at production and consumption and its commercial significance. He also analyses the global trade in steel and shows its importance to the metals industry as alloying elements and coatings. The final section considers the future for steel, the changing trade patterns, environmental issues and the threat of substitutes to the industry.
A careful examination of the forces that underly and influence the supply of and demand for iron ore during the period 1950-65 with forecasts to 1980.
First published in 1998, the objective of this book is to provide a detailed examination of steel production, consumption and trade in East Asia. Specifically, it addresses steel trade and investment environment in East Asia and forecasts steel price movement in the future. In addition, a major focus in this book is the investigation of the metals industry in China, Asia's emerging steel giant. Finally, one chapter of the book also documents the resource sector in Western Australia, one of the world's major sources of iron ore. Rapid economic growth over the past decade has significantly changed the gravity of Asia in the world economy. This trend has particularly been strengthened by the awakening giant, China, whose economy has been growing continuously at a two-digital rate since the late 1970's. Asian countries together have now consumed as much as steel as the developed economies. As a result, Asia as a region has become the key to the expansion of the global steel industry in the future.
The paper examines some deep rooted changes which have taken place during the past 20 years in the world's steel industry and presents projections of future steel production and demand. Based on the expected trends in world steel the paper analyzes the prospects for iron ore. It provides an in-depth evaluation of the world seaborne iron ore market potential to 1995; examines the comparative cost structure and competitiveness of existing major producing areas in different regional markets; and determines if future international iron ore market conditions will justify investment considerations for new iron ore production facilities. It addresses future trends in international iron ore trade and examines three separate scenarios -- base case, low case and high case. Potential iron ore production capacity is detailed as, expansions, replacements and greenfield projects. Under the projected base case conditions, a need for about 15 million tons per year (tpy) new ore capacity is indicated by the mid 1990s. Potential products total about 200 million tpy, indicating that only the lowest cost, most competitive projects with assured markets will be suitable for implementation in the next decade.
Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - Industrial Economics, grade: 1,0, The FOM University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg, language: English, abstract: What are the consequences of steel tariffs on the Chinese steel industry and its development? Coping with this question a deeper look at the Chinese steel industry is needed. First, this paper will outline the history and examine statistics dealing with the global steel market in order to center the growth and structure of the Chinese steel industry. The second part of this paper highlights tariffs, their function and influence on the market in general and especially on the Chinese steel industry. Finally, derived from previously examined facts, the tariffs’ consequences on the industry are discussed concluding with a future outlook. Since 2014, China is the second largest economy in the world, following the United States of America, comparing the countries’ gross domestic products. China’s steel industry dominates the global steel market, taking nearly half of the world’s production into account. In 2015, the country is the biggest exporter of semi-finished and finished steel products. Latest developments show a lowering and stagnating overall growth in China. This forces higher steel exports and puts pressure on the global steel price, leading to clamours for taxing Chinese steel imports in other countries. The U.S. and European Union (EU) among other countries have already confined tariffs on Chinese steel, aiming to protect their local steel industry.
