The steel market is currently facing many challenges that make it difficult to procure steel. Here are some of the current difficulties:
Supply shortage: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many steel mills and supply chains, resulting in available steel and supply shortages.Price increase: High demand and supply shortages have led to sharp price increases in steel products.
Product price: Prices of raw materials such as iron ore and coke, which are needed to make steel, have risen sharply in recent months, increasing the cost of steel products.
Trade dispute: Trade disputes such as the conflict between the US and China could also contribute to steel shortages and higher. prices.
Overcapacity: There is overcapacity in steel production in some parts of the world, which could lead to oversupply and falling prices.Overall, the current situation in the steel market is very volatile and it is difficult to predict how the situation will develop in the future. However, companies should prepare for the above challenges and carefully monitor their supply chains to minimise the potential impact on their business.
