The steel industry has played a pivotal role in the history of Korean economic development, turning its trade balance from long time deficit into steady surplus. Along the development, the steel industry in Korea adopted 2 important strategies: scaling up the production by inducing constant enlargement of blast furnace; adopting the innovative technologies such as electric furnaces and the automation of rolling operation.
As a front-end industry, it has grown along with the automobile industry, construction, machinery, and shipbuilding industries, and the demand will be determined by whether the production volume of front-line companies increases in the future. Even after the corona pandemic, demand from major forward industries such as automobiles and shipbuilding has remained steady, and the supply and demand situation continues to be stable. The future growth of steel industry is uncertain. On one hand, the economic developments in India and China are expected to be solid(both of which have the largest populations), resulting in robust demand in global steel industry. On the other hand, the obvious downturn in Chinese construction industry may lead to the market shrink. In addition, China could take advantage of iron ore reserve as strategic weapon against the U.S. and its allies, including Korea, resulting in the hike of steel prices.
