Global crude steel production declined 4.6 per cent year-on-year to 140.1 million tonnes (mt) in November 2025, weighed down primarily by a sharp contraction in output from China, according to data released by the World Steel Association.

China, the world’s largest steel producer, reported a steep 10.9 per cent drop in production to 69.9 mt during the month, significantly impacting overall global volumes. In contrast, India continued to show strong momentum, producing 13.7 mt of crude steel, up 10.8 per cent compared with November 2024.
