Global crude steel production softened in February 2026, showing that the recovery in steel demand remains uneven across major markets. Total world output fell 2.2% year on year to 141.8 million mt, while production for January-February slipped 1.5% to 298.2 million mt. Asia remained the largest producing region at 105.3 million mt, though China’s output dropped 3.6% to 76.1 million mt. India stood out with a 7.7% rise to 13.6 million mt, while Japan stayed flat and South Korea edged up slightly.
In Europe, EU-27 crude steel output declined 3.6% to 9.8 million mt, highlighting continued pressure on the region’s steel sector. Turkey, however, posted a 3.4% increase to 3 million mt, and Germany rose 4.8% to 2.8 million mt. The CIS saw a sharper drop of 10.5%, while North America recorded a modest 0.5% gain. The latest figures point to a global steel market still facing mixed regional demand, with India and Turkey offering some support against broader weakness.
