Description

Iron & Steel Manufacturing in the UK

Over the five years through 2022-23, revenue is expected to fall at a compound annual rate of 4.1%. Large amounts of cheap steel on the global market have undercut British prices and caused major trade partners like the EU to institute import quotas. Unable to lower prices because of high labour costs and environmental charges, industry giants like British Steel and Tata Steel have stated a need for government intervention to continue operating. The industry is also wracked by volatility as overproduction followed by strict pandemic restrictions in China have caused global steel prices to fluctuate.

Firms in this industry produce iron and steel in blast furnaces or reprocess steel in electric arc furnaces. They make a variety of basic steel products, such as ingots, sheets, plates, bars, rods, girders and sections.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares."
