Raised Crude Steel Output in Globe

Economic sanctions, trade barriers, tariff increases, the United States’ anti-dumping of steel pipes against China and other incidents have not slowed the pace of the world's progress, each countries more or less has increased in the steel industry. Let's take a look at the development data of the global steel industry. Really pretty statistic data about raised crude steel output as below,

World Crude Steel Output

Crude steel output in the world was 881.5 million tons in the first half of 2018, an increase of 4.6% over the same period of 2017. Meanwhile Asia produced 6.139 million tons of crude steel, an increase of 5.2% over the first half of 2017, also not bad data.
