The Chinese steel industry is the largest in the world and accounts for more than a third of the global steel production. Despite that, China, the largest steel-consuming nation, remained a net importer of steel until end-2004. The industry, driven by a government-induced and -subsidized capacity expansion programme, has increased its output at a CAGR of 14% over the last decade. Currently, it is faced with overcapacity, though the demand for steel remains as strong. The Chinese steel producers are faced with multiple challenges: increasing their global ranking in terms of production capacity, upgrading to high-quality steel products, countering the increase in input costs, particularly, iron ore prices, and halting the imminent price erosion because of overcapacity.

With steel consumption forecast to grow between 12-13% during the next two years, the Chinese steel industry will continue to have a ready consumer base.
