Exports data is reported by countries and therefore includes for example intra-EU trade, trade between USMCA countries, etc.
The figures are based on a broad definition of the steel industry and its products, including ingots, semi-finished products, hot-rolled and cold-finished products, tubes, wire, and unworked castings and forgings.
The above table comprises the exports of 62 countries, which represents approximately 95.5 per cent of total world trade in 2023.
