Written by Peter Wright
This report summarizes total steel supply from 2003 through December 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 the final annual tonnages for 2016 and describes total supply, domestic mill shipments, imports and import share.
