CAPEX DATABASE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE Get access to the latest carbon or stainless steel media reports, prices and global business intelligence. Our subscriptions start from only $10 / month. GET SUBSCRIPTION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COST MODELS We can prepare economic models for raw material production (including coke, sinter, DRI), iron and steelmaking (for BOF, EAF and induction furnace process), casting and rolling (including flat, long or tube products). These models can be prepared for any region of the world, or for any nominated facility. Please contact us for further information. Example here shows 2023 liquid steel costs for electric arc furnace based steelmaking in a notional one million tonne per year coastal works in Japan, in US dollars per metric tonne. Economic models may be supplied for single or linked steel manufacturing processes (e.g. an EAF with a billet caster plus a bar mill); and with more or less detail than shown here. STEEL COST MODELS 2023 EAF ECONOMICS Models can also be used for cost curves e.g. hot rolled coil (HRC). .

VISIT MCI WEBSITE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IRON AND STEEL PLANT DATABASE Our database of plant and equipment in iron and steel production facilities covers: * Raw materials (coke, sinter, direct reduced iron or HBI, blast furnace pig iron) * Steelmaking assets (EAF and BOF crude steel) * Semi-finished products (bloom, billet, slab) * Flat products (plate, hot and cold rolled coil, coated sheet including galvanised iron or GI, PPGI, and tinplate) * Long products (heavy and light sections, bar, reinforcing bar, wire rod) * Seamless and welded tube (including helical / spiral and longitudinal welded pipe). This information encompasses both carbon and specialty steel (including stainless, electrical steel, SBQ) and is continuously updated. We can provide facility information for these plant items in most regions of the world. The data coverage typically includes: * Site location * Works ownership * Factory installation date * Closure date, where relevant * Annual capacity in metric tons per year * Machinery and / or technology specification * Dimensional capability [such as minimum / maximum gauge or section diameter] * Details of other ancillary on-site equipment * and in many cases: the name of the foundry supplier, modernisation details, and comments on grade or product orientation. If for example you are interested in a report on blast furnace commissioning dates, we can provide the following analysis for ~1500 different furnaces worldwide.

Facilities include iron and steelmaking plants as well as flat or long product plants. Territories can include Asia, Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the United States and South America. MORE MAP INFO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPETITION AND INDUSTRY STRUCTURE Steel company profitability is typically determined by the extent of competition in a given product market. In some sectors, a producer can enjoy a near-monopoly supply position. The production of concrete reinforcing bar in the UK is one such example, with Celsa's Tremorfa mill in Cardiff being the sole UK manufacturer. Other markets more commonly have multiple suppliers. Thus, rebar fabrication in Spain is much more competitive than in the UK and is characterised by the existence of eight competing plants (see table below). Rebar supply in other countries is still more fragmented. In Italy there are over 30 rebar production facilities; and in Turkey, we estimate that there are more than 50 rebar mills.

However, the ArcelorMittal Bergara bar mill in Gipuzkoa may have additional rebar capacity. Megasa full name is Metalurgica Galaica SA; the firm acquired the Zaragoza bar mill from ArcelorMittal in 2016. Grupo Gallardo facilities were acquired by Grupo Industrial Cristian Lay in August 2020. Note that Celsa's 550 kt / year Russula wire rod factory in Bayonne (commissioned in 2021) is just across the border in France.
