The Corona Pandemic Crisis in 2020, according to the World Bank, marked the deepest recession since World War II, which was not only unpredictable but geographically unique, as the world began the new year.

Factors such as population growth, urban population growth, automotive sector growth, rising construction and infrastructure costs, and growing demand for steel are expected to affect the global steel market for a long time. Nevertheless, price fluctuations challenge the growth of the industry. Several notable trends, including technological advances, increasing demand for stainless steel, and increasing demand for recycled steel, are things that could revolutionize the steel industry in the new year.
*** Global steel markets growth
The global steel market is expected to grow in the future due to increased infrastructure activities and increased acceptance of steel in the automotive, electricity and other end-use industries. Geographically, China is the most important player in global steel production, supported by increased automobile production and the growth of electrical appliances. India will see the fastest growing steel market this year as urbanization, industrialization and infrastructure investments increase, and this is the first time the country has played such a role in the steel market equations.
The forecasts for the global steel market outlook, compiled by the largest international reputable steel publications, depend on a very important factor: the expected corona virus outbreak by the end of this winter and the success of the production of corona vaccines. In the world. However, the observation of the corona virus leap in Europe and the second wave of rising infection and lockdowns (holidays) as well as the onset of winter, still emphasizes the unpredictability of economic conditions as the main feature of 2021.

However, this has not yet affected the transportation of iron ore due to the need for high quality materials in China.
Supply restrictions in Brazil have inflamed the global steel and iron ore market. This is in the form of a glucose in global steel exchanges. In addition, steel mills blame Chinese traders’ speculative buyers for the sharp rise in prices this month.
Fear of taxes could potentially lead to an inventory of Australian iron ore shipments to China. There are suggestions that supply is deliberately limited to increase the price of steel raw materials. This is an idea that has been rejected by related miners.
