Inter-country competition and quotas in the steel pipe sector

SteelRadar's EU weekly quota filling assessment reveals the performance of countries in the steel pipe sector. India's leadership in stainless bar light profile, China's strength in seamless pipe production and Türkiye's efficiency in hollow sections determine the balance in the sector.

Inter-country competition and quotas in the steel pipe sector

In a period when some countries feel the need for additional quotas, the flat trend in the sector continues. Increasing raw material costs and political-economic events are affecting the industry and production sector globally. Pipe quota filling rates have also been slow for weeks. Although some countries have increased their filling rates, others continue at a low level. This situation causes the expected effect on production not to be seen.

Pipe and profile utilization rates in EU quotas are as follows;
