Global iron ore production growth will accelerate in the coming years, bringing an end to the stagnation that has persisted since iron ore prices hit a decade-low average of $55 per tonne in 2015, market analyst Fitch Solutions predicts in its latest industry report. Fitch forecasts global mine output growth to average 2.4 over 2021-2025 compared to the negative 2 over the previous five years. This would lift annual production by 378 million tonnes in 2025 compared to 2020 levels, roughly the equivalent of India and Russia's combined 2020 output, Fitch says.
