Indian steel exports show EU resurgence

19 Dec 2023 CW Team

Indian steel mills are strategically managing export offers, demonstrating a cautious approach in South-East Asia during December. However, amid this trend, positive signs emerge in the European Union (EU) market, indicating a potential upswing for the Indian steel industry.

While export offers to South-East Asia are being held back, possibly in response to market dynamics or strategic considerations, the EU presents a contrasting picture. The resurgence in demand from the EU is seen as a promising development, offering a silver lining for Indian steel exporters.

The decision to curb offers to South-East Asia suggests a nuanced and adaptive strategy by Indian steel manufacturers, responding to specific conditions in different global markets. This tactical maneuvering aims to optimise trade flows and capitalise on emerging opportunities, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of the Indian steel sector.

In the EU, the observed green shoots in demand for Indian steel hint at a potential growth trajectory. This positive development aligns with the industry's efforts to diversify and explore new markets. As the global economic landscape continues to evolve, Indian steel producers navigate these shifts with strategic decision-making, positioning themselves to thrive in markets displaying increased demand and stability.
