According to data obtained by SteelRadar from the Italian steel producers’ association Federacciai, the strong rise in steel and hot-rolled product output in December pushed the sector to its highest monthly levels in the 2022–2024 period.
Crude steel production in Italy reached 1.4 million tonnes in December, up 20.5% year on year. As a result, total crude steel output for full-year 2025 amounted to 20.7 million tonnes, marking a 3.6% increase compared to 2024.
Positive trend in hot-rolled products
Production of hot-rolled products also maintained an upward trend in December. Long products output rose by 18.4% year on year to 811,000 tonnes, while flat products production increased by 4.4% to 663,000 tonnes over the same period.
Looking at the full year 2025, long products production grew by 5.5% to 12.3 million tonnes, while flat products output rose by 3.8% to 8.9 million tonnes. As a result, the increase in hot-rolled products supported overall production growth for the year.
