Ferrous scrap

摘要

Competition is unlikely to intensify until the end of this year owing to sluggishutilization of newly commissioned steelmaking complexes and production cutbacksat many plants, which will promote demand and supply balance in the country.sregions. In 2014, higher utilization of new capacities will result in a bigger shareof EAF steel in the overall output and prevent the further contraction of consumption.Amid limited supply, this will make competition for scrap fiercer.The Central and the Volga Federal Districts will remain the key suppliers of thematerial. Scrap will be sold mostly into the Ural Federal District where plants willbe suffering from scrap shortage.
