Industry Data
AIST's Industry Data are snapshots of the global steel industry on a variety of levels, from international production levels to equipment and production data for a variety of iron- and steelmaking facilities. Industry Roundups are compiled by the AIST Technology Committees to cover the comprehensive steel production process from coke oven batteries, blast furnaces and EAFs to continuous casters and rolling facilities. Industry Statistics provide insight into global production, demand and pricing benchmarks, with source data from Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research, SteelBenchmarkerTM and The Steel Index. Additional steel industry reference material, including books, maps and cd-roms, may be purchased at AIST's online bookstore, Bookstore.AIST.org.
