AISI said on Wednesday that in the first 10 months of this year, US steel mills shipped 75,080,374 net tons, down 0.8% from 75,675,222 tons in the same period last year. This is the most recently available data collected.
The institute noted that a revised comparison of 2023 YTD shipments through October vs. a year earlier shows the following changes: hot-rolled sheet, up 12%; cold-rolled sheet, up 2%; and corrosion-resistant sheet, up 1%.
