Swedish steel output falls further on-year
Sweden’s crude steel production decreased in June compared to the same month last year, and over the corresponding half-year periods, Kallanish learns from the country’s steel federation Jernkontoret.
In June, 356,000 tonnes of crude steel were produced in Sweden, which is 2.6% less compared to June 2023. During the first half of the year, a total of 2.18 million tonnes of crude steel were produced by Swedish mills. This is a decrease of 3.8% compared to the same period last year, the association notes.
Output in the first six months of 2023 was already 4.5% less than in the first half of 2022. A gentle uptrend occurred this year in March and April, which showed some increase year-on-year.
The production statistics are compiled by Jernkontoret and are based on data from eleven crude steel manufacturing plants in Sweden.
