Steel Demand and the Chinese Property Market
The continued slump in the Chinese property market is expected to have an impact on steel demand in 2024. Despite the Chinese government's efforts to rescue the sector, it will take longer for the industry to recover. However, sectors like shipbuilding and clean energy infrastructure are likely to drive steel demand growth globally. Emerging Asia, Europe's manufacturing sector, and the US manufacturing revival are also expected to contribute to positive momentum in global steel consumption.
