Indian Steel Industry 2009
Description: Globally, the steel industry is facing the brunt of economic slowdown; global crude steel production has declined by 1.1% in CY 2008. Dominant among nations, China's crude steel production growth has also slowed down to 2.6% in CY 2008 compared to 15.8% recorded in CY 2007. India which contributed about 4.1% to the world's crude steel production in CY 2008 has retained its position of the fifth largest crude steel producer in the world. However, domestic steel industry is also hit by the impending economic slowdown. In this unfavourable macro-economic scenario, few questions regarding the industry come to mind: To what extent the current slowdown in the economy will take its toll on the steel industry? Will the steel regain its shine in FY 10? Will the contract prices of key raw materials cool off in the international market and to what extent? Will the domestic steel companies be able to benefit out of this? Will the domestic steel industry be able to improve its margins in the coming future? Which sectors would continue to drive the demand of steel products and to what extent? We have attempted to address these queries using the most pragmatic approach. This report on the Indian Steel Industry contains comprehensive data and analysis of the sector apart from giving outlook on the sector. With our established network of primary and secondary sources, we have captured exhaustive data on the various parameters of the industry.
