Carbon SteelProcurement Cost and SupplierIntelligence
Coking coal and iron ore drives the steel price along with the effect of the supply-demand scenario of the category plays a major role in constituting the price. The prices of these raw materials are expected to remain volatile due to state-mandated measures to reduce carbon emissions and rising geopolitical tensions. Owing to strict lockdowns in Shanghai amid covid-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war have caused drastic effects in disrupting the supply chain. With easing curbs in restrictions and normalization in the supply chain have rallied the demand. In 2023, steel prices in China went up by 55.4% from USD 749 to USD 1,164 in April. With the U.S. and Europe back on inventory replenishment, demand for global supply increased resulting in an increase in prices of hot rolled carbon steel by USD 38.24 per tonne and hot rolled steel coils by USD 28.68.
Sourcing of the category involves procurement of raw materials and import of the final product from various countries. China, Russia, and Japan are the top exporters in this category. The wide availability of raw materials and large export of semi-finished and finished goods are helping them in leading the market.
