The US Steel Industry: State-by-State Analysis & Forecasts out to 2015

The US steel industry is structurally short of capacity, and the nation's steel consumption ranks among the highest in the world. The pace of US economic growth generally far exceeds that of other developed nations, and is driven by strong consumer and business spending on steel-intensive goods.

The USA is a vast country, however, with many divergent markets within the country as a whole. Moreover, while the appeal of the US market is undeniable, recent changes in the pattern of US end-user demand and the 2008 global credit crunch have raised important questions for the US steel industry out to 2015.

Key features:

• Which areas of the USA are most conducive to steel production? Where should you build your plant to best meet your customers?
• What impact will the global credit crunch have on investment in the US steel industry - crisis or opportunity?
• Where are steel consumers based now and out to 2015 e.g. will the migration of automotive plants to the southern US overtake northern US automotive production?
• Which regions of the USA will show the most growth in steel consumption in the longer term?
• Which steel-consuming sectors have growth potential? Which sectors are declining?
• What is the growth potential for specific steel products in each US state and by value added type out to 2015? Which steel products have the best long-term prospects?
• Will the addition of new greenfield steel capacity displace imported steel products?  Or will other domestic steel mills be at risk?
• Is the reversal in US steel imports the start of a trend or just a temporary currency-influenced response?
• Are US steel prices rising to yet another new and higher threshold?
