Creamer Media’s Real Economy Year Book has been divided into separate reports under the banner Real Economy Insight, and investigates key developments in the automotive, construction, electricity, oil and gas, road and rail, steel, water, manufacturing, pumps, coal, gold, iron-ore and platinum sectors.
This six-page brief is a synopsis of key developments in the steel sector over the past 12 months. It provides an overview of the global and South African steel markets, the sector’s unexpected rebound, the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on South Africa and the measures proposed to mitigate some of the challenges facing the country’s steel sector.
This brief has been compiled using information published in Engineering News and Mining Weekly, as well as information available in the public domain, and does not purport to provide analysis of market trends.
