Global steel demand is rising periodically in next 2 years. World Steel Association forecast that following the 1% increase in 2016, the global steel demand in 2017 will increase by 1.3% to 15.352 tons. Global steel demand is expected to increase by 0.9% in 2018 to 15.485 tons. T.V.Narendran, chairman of the Market Research Committee of the World Steel Association said: "the recovery of demand for steel in 2016 was higher than expected, and the main driving force for growth was from China." Therefore, we believe that steel demand will continue to be cyclical in 2017 and 2018.
