After demand for steel dropped during the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019, steel prices also took a hit. However, in 2021, hot-rolled coil (HRC) steel prices were projected to rebound to around *** U.S. dollars per metric ton—a ** percent recovery from the dip in prices that had continued into 2020. The U.S. market by the end of 2021 The United States is among the markets where hot-rolled coil (HRC) steel prices are the highest in the world. It was expected that U.S. steel distributors and producers, such as Nucor and United States Steel, would benefit from the steel tariffs on U.S. imports that came into effect in the spring of 2018. At the same time, U.S. imports from the countries subjected to the so-called Section 232 tariffs were projected to decline. By the end of 2021, Canada was the main country of origin for the U.S.’s imports for consumption of steel products. Impact on the Chinese market Even though a large part of China's steel exports to the United States had already been restricted through antidumping or countervailing duties, trade tensions put pressure on steel markets worldwide, including China. Chinese steel product imports amounted to ***** million U.S. dollars, making it the ninth country of origin for steel products in the United States. Overall, rolled steel was the seventh largest category of Chinese export goods in 2021, amounting to almost *** billion yuan (approximately ** billion U.S. dollars). This comes after China's steel sector had a drop in sales to its domestic auto sector in early 2019.

This statistic represents the US iron and steel import price index between 2006 and 2017. In 2017, this price index stood at ***, compared with 100 in 2005. 2005 was chosen as the base year (2005=100).

Nucor and Gerdau, leaders in the US steel industry, announce significant price hikes due to rising raw material costs, impacting rebar and hot rolled coil prices.

US iron and steel manufacturers, who are estimated to generate $108.4 billion in revenue for 2025, face a complex financial landscape after several years of fluctuating performance. While the industry has demonstrated a current period growth of 3.7% CAGR, the current year growth is estimated at 3.6%. Lower revenues in recent years were linked to depressed steel prices, caused by oversupply, sluggish demand in the construction and automotive sectors, and import competition. However, early 2025 has seen an uptick in prices driven partly by tariffs on imported steel, providing a glimmer of hope for improved earnings and profit, even as stricter EPA regulations on air quality and hazardous pollutants raise compliance costs. Characterized by a mix of large integrated producers and smaller specialized mills, the industry's structure is being reshaped by tariffs on foreign steel. While tariffs are boosting domestic manufacturers by creating a more favorable environment for domestic investment and job creation, they are also driving up costs for downstream industries such as automakers and construction firms. These tariffs, imposed to protect domestic producers, have contributed to higher US steel prices, even as manufacturers navigate increasingly stringent environmental regulations. The EPA's tougher air quality standards, targeting emissions from steelmaking processes, require costly investments in new equipment and process upgrades. As a result, the industry faces a complex landscape of trade tensions and varying profit impacts across different sectors. Looking ahead, the industry is expected to see growth stimulated by projected expansion in the domestic economy and large-scale federal infrastructure investments. Government initiatives, particularly those tied to infrastructure projects with “Buy America” provisions, are expected to bolster demand for domestically produced steel. The industry is projected to achieve a 1.7% CAGR through 2030, reaching $117.8 billion in revenue. Rising demand for green steel will also accelerate technology investments and transform production processes. Steelmakers will need to invest in expanding capacity, modernizing facilities and adopting advanced manufacturing technologies to meet anticipated demand and comply with evolving environmental standards.

This report uses the producer price index for steel mill products, averaging the growth in price for various types of steel, including bars, sheets, strips, plates and wires, of the hot-rolled and cold-rolled varieties. The index has a base year of 1982. Data is sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and is presented as the equally weighted average of monthly figures.

From May to August 2018, rebar products cost *** U.S. dollars per short ton. Rebar, which is short for reinforcing bar, is used to reinforce concrete or other aspects of masonry in order to provide tensile strength to large structures.

Iron and steel scrap prices in the United States stood at around *** U.S. dollars per metric ton in 2024, down from *** dollars per ton a year earlier. This is the fourth consecutive annual decrease recorded. Steel scrap consumption The majority of domestic steel industry scrap consumption is from manufacturers of raw steel, and steel castings. These raw materials are used to produce steel products that are used for appliances, construction, machinery, and transportation, among other industry uses. Only small amounts of steel scrap were used for the production of ferroalloys, copper precipitation, and the chemical industry. Recycling scrap Recycled iron and steel scrap materials have been essential for the production of new steel and cast iron products. Vehicles are one of the largest sources of old steel scrap used for recycling and nearly 100 percent of cars are recycled for their scrap material. It is expected that the recycling rate for scrap materials from appliances and construction purposes should rise, especially as public interest for recycling grows and profitability increases.
