Shipments and Supply of Sheet Products through May 2016
Written by Peter Wright
This report summarizes total steel supply from 2003 through May 2016 and year on year changes. It then compares domestic mill shipments and total supply to the market. It quantifies market direction by product and enables a side by side comparison of the degree to which imports have absorbed demand. Sources are the American Iron and Steel Institute and the Department of Commerce with analysis by SMU.
Table 1 shows both apparent supply and mill shipments of sheet products (shipments includes exports) side by side as a three month average through May, for both 2015 and 2016.
