    About our Steel news

    Latest news on steel, providing comprehensive coverage of steel industry, metal prices, production, manufacturing, construction, stainless steel, carbon steel, global markets, and sustainability efforts.

    Steel continues to be the backbone of global infrastructure and manufacturing, with worldwide production exceeding 1.9 billion tonnes annually. Major producers include China, India, Japan, and the United States, with the industry directly employing over 6 million people globally and supporting countless more jobs throughout supply chains.

    Recent market trends show significant volatility in steel prices, driven by fluctuating raw material costs, particularly iron ore and coking coal. The industry faces mounting pressure to reduce carbon emissions, with major steelmakers announcing ambitious decarbonisation targets. Green steel initiatives using hydrogen rather than coal are gaining momentum, though economic viability remains challenging.

    Beyond industrial applications, steel continues to influence architecture and design, with innovative uses appearing in landmark structures worldwide. Local steel heritage museums and former industrial sites now serve as cultural attractions, preserving the rich history of communities built around steelmaking. The material's versatility has also inspired artists and craftspeople who transform this industrial metal into striking sculptures and functional art.

    Steel has shaped human civilisation since the Iron Age, with significant advancements occurring during the Industrial Revolution. The Bessemer process, developed in the 1850s, revolutionised production by enabling mass manufacturing of steel. Today's challenges echo historical patterns, as the industry again faces pressure to transform its fundamental processes for environmental sustainability, much as it adapted to coal shortages and new technologies in previous centuries.

    Our NewsNow feed on steel delivers the latest developments from mills to markets, covering everything from production technologies to end-use applications. Whether you're an industry professional, investor, or simply interested in how this essential material shapes our world, this feed provides comprehensive, up-to-date coverage from reliable sources across the global steel ecosystem.
