World Steel Tube Production – Review
A comparison of the years 2023 and 2024
shows a global decline in production of 8.4
%. However, there are clear regional diff er-
ences: The strongest decline is recorded
in the USA and China, followed by the CIS
states and Europe, whose declines are in
the single-digit percentage range. In China,
a signifi cant drop of 22.8% can be observed
for seamless pipes in particular.
With growth of 1.3%, India is the only
exception among the countries sur-
veyed and thus clearly stands out from
the general trend. In Japan, the decline
amounted to 4.2%, which can be classifi ed
as moderate compared to the other coun-
tries. With the exception of India, no growth
was recorded in any region.
