Metal Bulletin Research have published an in-depth study, A New Age for Steel Metallics: A Global Market Outlook to 2020 for Obsolete Scrap, Prompt Scrap, Industrial Scrap, Pig Iron, DRI/HBI and Iron Ore which provides detailed and authoritative analysis of past trends and forecasts to 2020 for the complete supply chain of the world steel metallics industry for all the key products and sectors including:
- World steel demand by region and end-user sector;
- The world steel industry by region: structure, capacity, costs;
- The demand and supply of raw materials and energy.
This 600 page study has been designed specifically to be rigorous, reliable and complete to best enable the C-Suite to make long term and actionable strategic decisions at both a local and global level.

Objectives of A New Age for Steel Metallics: A Global Market Outlook to 2020 for Obsolete Scrap, Prompt Scrap, Industrial Scrap, Pig Iron, DRI/HBI and Iron Ore:
- To provide metallic supply demand balance by country 1985-2010 with forecast for the next 10 years;
- To provide steel apparent consumption forecast by country;
- To details DRI production, imports, exports and apparent consumption by country;
- To assess the role DRI plays in the global metallic market;
- To assess the role of internationally traded pig iron in the global metallic market;
- To provide iron ore supply demand balance by country 1985-2010;
- To provide Steel pricing for the next 10 years;
- To provide a breakdown of scrap generation by country
o Prompt Industrial
