Monthly steel output falls in China, rises in RoW

Global steel output during the month of July declined 5% from last year, according to the World Steel Association’s (worldsteel) latest report. While monthly production declined in China, combined output in the Rest of the World (RoW) ticked higher.

Steel mills around the world produced a combined 152.8 million metric tons (mt) of crude steel in July. That marks it as the second-slowest month for steel output so far this year.
