WSA Reports Steel Production at 1.665 Billion Metric Tons in 2014
Written by John Packard
The world’s steel producers managed to pump out 1.665 billion metric tons of steel (1.84 billion net tons) during 2014 according to the World Steel Association (WSA) which released their 2014 data book earlier today. According to the WSA, the United States was the third largest steel producing country behind China and Japan. This is the same result as last year. However, India is gaining and could very well pass by the U.S. by this time next year.
China continues to be the gorilla in the room producing 822.7 million metric tons (906.8 million net tons), followed by Japan at 110.7 million metric tons (122 million net tons) and then the U.S.A. at 88.2 million metric tons (97.22 million net tons).
