FOREWORD
Despite the fact that 2013 again proved to be challenging for the steel
industry with issues relating to overcapacity and raw materials costs,
world steel demand still grew by 3.6%. World crude steel production
totalled 1,606 million tonnes (Mt) for the year, a record high for our
industry.
The demand forecasts for 2014 provide an important insight to changing
economic forces. Where the developing world was the primary
driving force in steel demand ever since 2008 and indeed also of
global economic global growth our expectations are that developed
economies will also contribute to growth in 2014 and 2015, with
developing economies showing a slower economic pace. This, along
with Chinas economic deceleration, is the reason for our slightly lower
global growth rate forecast of 3.1% for 2014 which we issued mid-April.
We have consistently said that steel is the key to sustainable
development for the world today and a key driver of tomorrows world
economy. It is worth reiterating this as so many regulators and politicians
around the world still seem surprised to discover this at the same
time as they load ever more regulation and cost onto steel and other
manufacturing activity. Only by creating new products do we create
primary wealth. All other activity needs this bedrock of wealth creation
to survive and prosper.
This year worldsteel initiated an industry-wide safety audit across
the steel industry on the occasion of the Steel Safety Day on 28 April.
This safety initiative coincided with the World Safety Day held by the
International Labour Organization. The audit focussed on identifying the
hazards responsible for safety incidents within the steel industry and
setting up an action plan to manage the hazards and risks for each site.
This is a very important initiative which received substantial support from
our membership.
I hope you will find this booklet useful. As in the past, it provides a
comprehensive overview of steel industry activities, stretching from
production to steel use to some indications of global trade flows. If you
have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.

SAFETY AND HEALTH
LIFE CYCLE THINKING
Nothing is more important than the safety and health

of the people who work in the steel industry.
The real environmental impact of a product can be measured

only through a life cycle assessment.
The safety and health commitment, made by the worldsteel Board

in 2006, is accompanied by a set of six principles:
Life cycle assessment
All injuries and work-related illnesses can and must be prevented.

Management is responsible and accountable for safety
and health performance.
Employee engagement and training is essential.
Working safely is a condition of employment.
Excellence in safety and health supports excellent business results.
Safety and health must be integrated into all business management
processes.
worldsteel publishes the Safety and Health
Principles Guidance Booklet to help
steelmaking companies adopt and apply
these principles. In 2013, worldsteel issued
an updated version of this publication, with
additional definitions.
SAFETY AND HEALTH PRINCIPLES

AND DEFINITIONS
Guidance Book
The most important work in safety and health

is the collaborative effort of worldsteel member
companies to identify best practices in key risk
areas. Sharing serious incident investigations
and associated key learnings helps to avoid
repeat events. worldsteel reports on safety and
health trends using annual metrics submitted by members. This information
helps companies to prioritise implementation of best practices.
1
worldsteel has a Safety and Health Excellence Recognition programme.

This showcases practices that have had a clear impact in improving safety
and health. In 2013, three member companies received recognition for
their initiatives: ArcelorMittal, Gerdau and Tata Steel Europe. The 2014
recognitions will be announced at worldsteels annual conference in
October.
Prioritising safety is crucial. On 28 April this year worldsteel launched its
first Steel Safety Day with the aim of making the workplace even safer
than it is today.
To understand the environmental

performance of a product, its
entire life cycle needs to be taken
into consideration. A life cycle
assessment (LCA) of a steel
product looks at resources, energy
and emissions, from the raw
material extraction phase to its endof-life phase, including recycling
and disposal. LCA can be used to
identify priorities for improvements
in process operations and product
design and development.
worldsteel has developed and supports the use of a consistent, rigorous
and transparent LCA methodology to enable society and regulators
to make informed choices based on the real environmental impact of
products and processes.
Steel is 100% recyclable, which means it can be reprocessed into the
same material of the same quality again and again. Recycling accounts
for significant energy and raw materials savings: more than 1,400 kg of iron
ore, 740 kg of coal, and 120 kg of limestone are saved for every tonne of
steel scrap made into new steel.
Climate Action programme
The steel industry is committed to managing the challenges that climate
change brings. worldsteel encourages all its members, and indeed nonmember companies, to participate in its climate action programme, which
is the collection and reporting, on a confidential basis, of CO2 emissions
plant-by-plant using an agreed methodology (ISO 14404). It is crucial that
every steel plant in the world actively measures where it is today in terms
of CO2 emissions, if it is to establish the correct priorities for improvement
and to monitor progress in reducing its emissions
Steel is essential for low-carbon usage of transport, construction, housing
and power generation. Steel demand has been rising steadily in recent
years and will continue to do so, to support global development.
KEY FACTS ABOUT STEEL
WORLD CRUDE STEEL PRODUCTION

1950 TO 2013
In 2013, the world steel industry produced

1.6 billion tonnes of crude steel.
Steel is a cornerstone and key driver for the worlds economy.

The steel industry directly employs more than two million people
worldwide, plus two million contractors and four million people
in supporting industries. Including industries such as construction,
transport and energy, the steel industry is a source of employment
for more than 50 million people.
Steel is at the core of the green economy, in which economic
growth and environmental responsibility work hand in hand.
Steel is the main material used in delivering renewable energy: solar,
tidal and wind. Steel is 100% recyclable and can be used in new
products and applications amounting to significant energy and raw
material savings.

The amount of energy required to produce a tonne of steel has been

reduced by 50% in the past 30 years.
1800
Steel is everywhere in our lives. No other material has the same

unique combination of strength, formability and versatility.
Steel surfaces are hygienic and easy to clean. Surgical and safety
equipment and commercial kitchens are all made with steel. Almost
200 billion cans of food are produced each year. Steel cans ensure
that food remains safe and nutritious while saving energy as refrigeration
is not needed.
1600
Steel is an innovative and progressive industry committed to

the safety and health of its people.
The industry is committed to the goal of an injury-free workplace.
Safety metrics show that the lost-time injury frequency rate is decreasing.
Globally, the steel industry spends more than 12 billion per year
on process improvements, new product development and future
breakthrough technology.

Life cycle thinking: New solutions for new times.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) considers production, manufacture, use
phase and end of life recycling and disposal. Life cycle thinking leads to
immediate environmental benefit. LCA is easy to implement, cost effective
and produces affordable and beneficial solutions for material decisionmaking and product design.

Notes on company ownership and tonnage calculations:

For worldsteel members, the data was sourced from the official tonnage declaration.
For Chinese companies, the official CISA tonnage publication was used. In cases of
more than 50% ownership, 100% of the subsidiarys tonnage is included. In cases of
30% to 50% ownership, pro-rata tonnage is included. Unless otherwise specified,
less than 30% ownership is considered a minority interest and therefore not included.

Exports in World Steel in Figures include intra-EU trade, trade

between countries of the CIS, and trade between NAFTA countries.
The figures are based on a broad definition of the steel industry and its
products, including ingots, semi-finished products, hot-rolled and coldfinished products, tubes, wire, and unworked castings and forgings.
The above table comprises the exports of 37 countries, which
represents approximately 91% of total trade in 2013.
