China continues to hold the global lead in crude steel production, with an estimated ** million metric tons recorded in December 2024. This represented an increase of approximately ** percent compared to its production in December of the previous year. During that time given, India, Japan, the United States, and Russia were far behind China in steel production. China as the global leader With a recorded **** million metric tons of crude steel yield, May 2021 remains the highest production peak for China to date. Since then, the country experiencing significant fluctuations in steel production. China's "zero-Covid" policy, therefore, implementing sequential lockdowns in various cities, caused a significant setback in the steel production network of the country. The government's interventions to eliminate the spread of the virus decreased the steel demand in many lines of work, predominantly in the construction sector. Despite the bottlenecks that China currently faces, the country has remained the global leader in crude steel production. Crude Steel Production Worldwide Production in Russia overall decreased throughout the given months, especially in June 2022; the production volume dropped by ** percent compared to the previous month of 2022. However, high oil prices and government initiatives sustain the steel industry in the country, despite facing severe sanctions due to the Russia- Ukraine war. India saw a notable drop in crude steel production by **** percent between February 2020 and April of that same year. Later, this figure increased to **** million metric tons owing to India’s strong domestic demand for steel. Japan and the United States also suffered a dip in production in April 2020, though not as severe as in India. Since then, steel production in both countries has been weakly increasing, with oscillations. Increased material costs and explicitly hiking interest rates in the United States have been the main reasons for the drawbacks in production in Japan and the US.

In 2023, China was the world leader in steel production, accounting for over half of the global production. While this region represented most of the market, European Union came in third with *** percent of global crude steel production that year.

Of the major Allied powers in the early 20th century, the United Kingdom was the largest producer of steel until the 1920s, before French output rose after the First World War following the transfer of Alsace-Lorraine and occupation of German territories, and then the Soviet Union's steel production rose significantly in the 1930s. Trends in steel production heavily follow those of iron production, and steel was instrumental for the industrialization and war effort of each respective country. When output from the Allied countries is compared with Axis countries in this period, Germany was the largest steel producer in Europe by a large margin and had the highest steel output in almost every year.

During the early 20th century, Germany was the largest producer of steel of Europe's Axis powers by a significant margin, and was also the largest steel producer in Europe when compared to Allied and neutral countries. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was the second largest producer of the Axis powers in Europe, before output fell drastically following its dissolution, and then Italy emerged as the second largest steel producer within the group. Iron and steel output among the other Axis nations was much lower in comparison; in the 1930s German trade with Eastern European countries had a significant impact on their economic structure, and the demand for agricultural products from these regions was much greater than the demand for metals.
