Outlook for the steelmarket Sherpa group meeting, Bruxelles, 13 March 2014
Agenda • Current situation: global demandisslowlyrecovering • Prospects for global steeldemanduntil 2025 • Structure of EU steel exports • EU steelmakingexcesscapacity • Financial health of the Europeansteelindustry
Apparent consumption of steel by region(Index 2007Q2=100, data from CRU)
Production shares by region, % of world(before and after the crisis)
Sectorsdrivingsteeldemandgrowth (in tonnage) during the nexttenyears • 3 sectors expected to represent 90% of global steel demand growth up to 2025 • Construction (68%), driven by residential, infrastructure projects in emerging economies • Mechanical engineering (13%) • Energy transportation(9%), pipelines, OCTG and other tubes.

Construction sector value added : growingshare of emergingeconomies • Shares in world construction value added in 2025: • NAFTA (18.3%), EU (10.8%), Japan (6.2% ), China (24%) • China’s construction VA: CAGR 5.9% in a catching-up process • 175 airports in China in 2010 compared to 5,194 in the US • Urban residential floor space in 2011 was 31 m² per capita in China compared to 82 in the US. • The urbanisation rate is expected to reach 51.5% in 2015 (target of 12thChinese Five-Year Plan): 10 million new urban residents/year • India’s construction VA: CAGR 8.1% faster than China but from a much lower base. • By 2025, India could have two cities of more than 25 million inhabitants (New Delhi and Mumbai) • Strong infrastructure building alsoexpected in South East Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

Strong growth of auto production expected to continue in China
EU steel exports have shifted towards African markets from 2007 to 2012.
The structure of exports -capturing the growth opportunity in emerging markets- • The share of pipes and tubes (a major export item), has declined from 14.8% (2007) to 13.1% (2012) while bars became the largest export item in 2012. • Exports of long products have been increasing steadily supported by robust construction activity in North Africa. • Exports of high value-added products (e.g. galvanized sheets) have been increasing along with the growth of the auto sector in emerging markets. • EU can take advantage of its good access to growing steel markets in Africa and Middle East.
